Interieur Kortrijk 2012. Always been a strange mix of professional and consumer design interest, but on the other hand always open for innovation, strong head designers and ‘incontournable’ in Belgium.
Same day (November 9th), entire different venue and vibe! Right after the Big Air snowboard event, we hurried of from Antwerp to Roeselare (of all places!) to participate at 25 years Domus Plus. Peter and Suzy, owners and visionairs behind this always surprising designwalhalla were once very much known for their legendary “theme-parc-like” parties ( I remember for instance, long before the mad cow decease, a exclusive white virus party where all guests were ‘desinfected’ and filmed during this process before entering the venue)
The rumors, the gossip, the WOM did it’s job months before we even could see what the fuzz was all about! “Some guys in Ghent planed to make a new style ‘wasserette with bar’ and it was going to be the bom!“ With a buzz like that the expectations were VERY high, and when I heard that design agency Pinkeye was involved in the scenery it could’ get any better. Ruud, Luc and the others would certainly do a splendid job. I spotted the new venue to my client Eskimo (an authentic Ghent based night and underwear label-yeah,the one with the Eskimo and Pinguin logo) and they did join in as one of the early bird sponsors of Wasbar!
