BRUT – BODEM

BRUT was founded in 2018 and is a collective of emerging Belgian designers, dedicated to the architectural, sculptural and emotional potential of contemporary design. Every year, they materialize their collaboration with a co-decided scenography – a shared setting which visualizes and inspires a collective narrative and provides a context where the specific characteristics of the designers’ practices can come together, start a dialogue and coexist. This year, BRUT chose Bodem (soil) as the theme of their scenography and as a motive for the individual designs and concepts. The dusty charm of an archaeological site inspired its appearances. With their earthly tones and textured surfaces, its separate plateaus refer to the negative spaces which appear when artefacts and architectural remains are gradually brushed back to light.
