Belgium is Design - @SaloneSatellite 2023
The year 2023 highlights the 15th presence of a Belgian delegation at the SaloneSatellite. The strength of this collective stand coordinated by #belgiumisdesign is the richness and diversity of the profiles, but also their attachment to a handcrafted reality. From woven textiles to refined wood, marble scraps or steel, traditional gestures, coupled with revisited industrial know-how, is taking over. It seems that the industry nowadays requires a hybrid #design more human-centered and poetic, both essential in this sector. Coming from well-known Belgian schools and most often having an experience abroad, these talented designers will have the opportunity to confront the reality of an evolving market; where the process - the «making» - is once again at the heart of the debate. Whether they are manufacturers, editors or professionals in the furniture and decoration market, the participants in this fair act as facilitators. The way they look at the work of young designers is an important driver for reflection and progress. Aware that a real change can only come through experimentation and a complete rethinking of certain practices, the young generation of designers is returning to small series and tailor-made products while challenging industrial production. Placed under the sign of openness and meetings between buyers and designers, the SaloneSatellite is therefore both a commercial showcase, but also - and above all - a unique opportunity for participants to refine their strategy in terms of organization, production, logistics and distribution.
AHOKPE + CHATELIN is a Brussels-based textile research and production studio founded by Estelle Chatelin and Georges Ahokpe. The duo, composed of a textile designer and a weaver, opens a dialogue between Benin and Belgium and questions the practices of weaving for domestic use. Sensitive to the textile, craft and industrial heritage, Ahokpe + Chatelin seeks to enhance it by crossing their respective knowledge, cultures and points of view. They emphasise the links between the producer, the tool and the user. Each object, conceived between the two countries, proposes a story that highlights both territories. At the genesis, Estelle and Georges set up a #design method, couper-décaler-travailler (trad. “cut-shift-work”). Through this leitmotiv, they create production scenarios to combine traditions, materials and techniques. With their experimental method of co-creation, they propose physical and imaginary travel objects that awaken to the concrete and plural realities that surround us.
