Because of his prolific activity between the 1960s and 1980s, Christophe Gevers' material legacy is relatively rich. More than an exhibition of objects, the Design Museum Brussels will host a reconstruction of his professional universe: a narrative ensemble composed of archives and objects, documents and testimonies. Gevers' creative process will be revealed 'unfiltered' thanks, among other things, to the archives of Thierry Belenger, currently kept at the museum, and to a selection of furniture, lamps, sculptures and toys. The richness of this documentation will allow us to reconstruct the often hidden path that characterises the work of the architect and designer: sketches, plans, technical studies, photographs, files for listing projects, correspondence with clients, price quotations,...
Because of his prolific activity between the 1960s and 1980s, Christophe Gevers' material legacy is relatively rich. More than an exhibition of objects, the Design Museum Brussels will host a reconstruction of his professional universe: a narrative ensemble composed of archives and objects, documents and testimonies. Gevers' creative process will be revealed 'unfiltered' thanks, among other things, to the archives of Thierry Belenger, currently kept at the museum, and to a selection of furniture, lamps, sculptures and toys. The richness of this documentation will allow us to reconstruct the often hidden path that characterises the work of the architect and designer: sketches, plans, technical studies, photographs, files for listing projects, correspondence with clients, price quotations, models. These elements, which constitute Gevers' professional universe, will contribute to revealing the complexity of this profession, and to updating this character who, throughout his career, has transformed private and public architecture, restaurants and banks, into pleasant, functional and human living spaces, thanks to a unique language where materiality, technical ingenuity and the supremacy of detail dialogue with the know-how of the meticulous craftsman and the creative passion of the designer. Christophe Gevers, as he liked to define himself, was a designer because he was interested in the present, which is the future, and the past, which is long past. The Design Museum Brussels contributes to this temporal alchemy by promoting the topicality of his research and the exemplary nature of his approach.Opening Hours
