Decoration & Garden

"Now a master in decorating 21st century homes, « Dominique Rigo » offers, in her vast concept store along rue de Stalle in Uccle, top of the range furniture for kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms and the bedroom. All bathed in transient, omnipresent light.Still in Uccle, «Aria» with its showcase covering 500 m² on two levels, presents works by the biggest international names in design. Transparent «Marie» chairs by Philippe Starck sit happily next to Cassina sofas. The whole lot scattered with the odd cheeky piece of Alessi ware.For light fittings, focus on the new boutique «Artemide », chaussée de Waterloo.In the same style and not far from here is the vast « Cinna, l'autre lumière » showroom on Avenue Lousie, with contemporary pieces suitable for all types of interiors. Contemporary decorative pieces also have their privileged outlets. Try «W80» (rue Washington). Undoubtedly the most constant range in terms of choice and quality of articles. Colour, unusual shapes, and always the amusing and pleasant « Boîte à... » range suitable for all occasions.« Lune après lune » in Rue du Bailli specialises in the fun side of objects. Also a happy place, the ""Z'Art » boutique on chaussée d'Ixelles has for several years developed its own idea of plastic decoration in fluorescent hues."
