VILLAS Belgium takes on the world… in a big way!

A highly satisfying “chance” encounter in Porto with the editor of a Portuguese magazine, a competitor of VILLAS Portugal, opened the door to talks with a magazine distribution company boasting a world-wide presence.

Literally. In every country on every content – the stuff of dreams…

After combing through the work of art that is VILLAS, I was made an irresistible offer: to have our Belgian edition distributed all over the world (or almost!).

After a good deal of thought, and thanks to the support of my valued clients, we are going to try to distribute this summer edition of our magazine in Italy, Germany, Spain (a country very dear to my heart) but also in the USA, more specifically in NYC and, of course, in Canada. Given that the Belgian edition is published in French and English, this feels like a natural move with the promise of a bright future.

Art

Brussels, the Art Deco city

Art Deco can be equated with a quest for modernity. With its uncluttered spaces and grandiose volumes, this architectural movement had its heyday in 1925 and was all the rage at the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris. By moving away from the curved, sinuous lines of Art Nouveau in favour […]

Design

Rigorously delicate

Luxurious rugs, lacquer furniture and screens that were inspired by Japanese techniques but threw off a contemporary Western spirit… In the early 1920s, Eileen Gray’s first creations were presented in the space of a Parisian boutique that had been reconfigured and transformed into an apartment: quite a revolution at the time! Only some of the […]
