Brussels Design September 2022

Visual : ©Faina by Victoria Yakusha The month of September promises to offer us a wealth of cultural initiatives and surprises. Museums, galleries, workshops, schools, shops and new shared spaces will showcase the best of Brussels’ creativity in terms of design and innovation. Through a varied programme of activities, Brussels Design September 2022 gives the public the opportunity to meet designers and ask questions about current topical issues: the usage of our planet’s resources, environmental challenges and mobility. It is no longer sufficient for an object to just be 'useful' and ‘beautiful’; it now has to be sustainable. Design concerns everyone. In addition to the product and the material used to produce it, the way the object is used and its impact on users are also important factors. Production and sourcing are taking an increasing precedence over other considerations. In September, we will shine a spotlight on entrepreneurs who are active in upcycling and circular and collaborative design with a itinerary Art&Crafts and Fablab&Makers proposed. The festival will showcase achievements, promote discussions and propose solutions and exchanges in temporary occupied locations.
