SOLSOC
In collaboration with Oilinwater Studio, who worked on the creative direction, graphics, and communication for the campaign, and we, HIER, developed the exhibition display systems with the idea of protest-like signs.
For the exhibition “JUST” campaign, the NGO Solsoc wanted to ‘highlight citizens and workers who are organizing and proposing innovative solutions to fight against polluting industries, develop production methods that respect the environment and human rights, and set up social protection systems that meet new needs.’

Woven Whispers
Scenography for the Woven Whispers exhibition showcasing the best of Belgium’s textile design during Milan Design week, an event organised by Alcova Milano.
A whisper is often used for delicacy, for secracy, or to express a raw or unfinished thought, a work in process. Raw and and subtle are words to keep. Metallic clamps, gently embracing the wooden beams of the BS3 Scuderie ceiling of Villa Bagatti Vasecchi, holding wires. Wires serving as a delicate looking yet a structural support, to host hangers of differents types and sizes, tailormade to each displayed piece, catering for its best display: suspended vertically, while others, heavier object pieces, stand on a horizontal metallic surface. The exhibited pieces are tip-toeing, lifted off the ground, hovering, whispering. In such a historical, raw and charged space such as the Scuderie, we imagined lightness. Lightness achieved through the poetic confrontation between the metallic, the mechanical, the raw and the rigid, whispering movement in the fragile, elegant, light and flexible textiles. Just like a musical box with a mechanical move makes a skirt dance. As technical elements, we have lighting projectors, coming from the ceiling to enhance and highlight the feature and performance of every piece, and rotating mirrors, creating light deflections, and giving a glance at the pieces in reflection. In the entrance, along the counter information point we planted a rayonbelge shelving system serving as a material library, with samples to feel and touch and seeupclose, and as teaser for the main exhibition space.
Textile-sample corner exhibited with Rayon Belge solutions.

Happy, happy to have been chosen by Sotheby’s & Mad Brussels to design a window display for Sotheby’s 50th anniversary in Belgium. And what a better way to celebrate than with a big, big, cake.

Elevated on a pedestal, this cake of 150cm high is made of 5 layers, each representing a decade of Sotheby’s and a different sales category from Sotheby’s. Each category is represented by collected materials/objects, regaining thus value with the composition.
50 thanks to all our material collaborators: @thy_marcinelle @niyona @chezrosi @rotordc @oxfam.be & @jiji17_ for the graphic intervention.

Revisit.Brussels
We have refreshed, revisited, updated and ugraded, the shop and info office scenography for Visit Brussels. We have added in place of an older system, a shelving design that is both colourful and playful, while being practical and functional.

The new additions reflect needs that developed over time, and that needed care and new solutions.

Tournai Général
One city. Two interventions. Three artists, and HIER, us.
Branding Tournai this time, branding both sides under a bridge, and one over another, both alongside the canal de l’Escault.

Murals telling the story of the city, of its architecture, folklore, and personas, under Pont A. Devallée. A story told by two different artists: Hedi Baka and Wenc part of the collective Les Îles Mardi.
A ground mural telling the story of the intersection between water, earth and stone, over the passerelle Notre Dame, by the artist Marine Bonamy.
These stories were told and painted with the help of an incredible set of hands @cocolaurens @olwesto_paobar @antoine_moustie @octaviolimaa @rammouk
Les clés de la ville - Pont A.Devallée
This mural is an invitation to discover the story of the city and its heritage through flags, pictograms, iconic characters. Its content is inspired by local craftsmanship, folklore, and the architecture of the city.
The artwork here is a collaboration between two who collaborate a lot: Wenc and Hedi Baka. A lover of architecture and captured instances, and the other passionate about energetic and vivacious characters.
La passerelle aux reflets - Passerelle Notre Dame
This floor mural echoes with the canal, with the passers by and with the boats crossing beneath it. It aims to create a social link, a place for exchange of words, of love, of looks towards the city. The painted shapes and their colors reference the worlds of water, of earth and of stone.
Marine Bonamy, is the artist of this work. Her universe is organic, mineral, and aquatic. Her work is based on texture, superposition, and movement.

So happy and proud with this collaboration.
And if you drive by Tournai, take a Tournai by the canal and wander through a graphic novel of the city.

The two sculptures are representations of landscapes, they are designed in a way to host aromatic plants for the inhabitants of the neighbourhood. The project was done in collaboration with the workshops for job integration of the Recyclart and the designer Damien Gernay.
