When was VILLAS Decoration founded?

VILLAS Decoration magazine was founded by Raymond and Elisabeth Naumann. Stemming from their love of contemporary architecture, gardens and photography, it has evolved with the times. Since its first issue was published in 1970, the magazine has become iconic in Belgium, as well as in France, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. Today it is seen as a firm benchmark in the world of architecture, design, decoration and contemporary art.

Readers and advertisers alike renew their confidence in each collector’s edition, having been won over by its vision and the high standard of its content. Distributed in Belgium and overseas, it is also published in two premium formats – in French/English and Dutch/English.

The main values of the magazine

The main motivation of VILLAS is, above all, the desire to exchange and share ideas with – and to be inspired by – experts, amateurs, artists, designers, curators, readers and (in particular) enthusiasts, in relation to the key topics of architecture, luxury design and contemporary art.

More than just a magazine, VILLAS Decoration is presented as a collector’s piece – a unique product, of which the quality is well second to none. Elegant and inspirational, informative and focussed on trends, innovations and news, the editions in French/English and Dutch/English cross borders and secure VILLAS’ position as an international magazine. Naturally, Belgium and its people remain in VILLAS’ soul, both in terms of editorial content and its partnerships.
