PAST
MILAN DESIGN WEEK | BARANZATE ATELIERS
For its second appearance at the Milan Design Week, Zaventem Ateliers was set to captivate attendees once again, presenting under Baranzate Ateliers in an all-new venue in April 2024. Strategically located just 5 minutes away from the airport, the exhibition aimed to draw in a global audience, anticipating the participation of 10,000 visitors from around the world.
That year’s program boasted a lineup of 35 studios, including 15 specially curated guests handpicked by Zaventem Ateliers. The expansive 7,000 square meters of exhibition space promised to be a hub of creativity and innovation.
Alongside the exhibitions, Zaventem Ateliers crafted a unique nighttime calendar, adding a touch of allure to the exhibition. This curated series of events featured a select number of corporate partners, creating an immersive and unforgettable experience for attendees.
TWO WORLDS, ONE NIGHT. PRIVATE EVENT WHERE ARNO INVITED MARIE WYNANTS.
MARIE WYNANTS, A BELGIAN PHOTOGRAPHER OF WORLD-CLASS CALIBER, IS SYNONYMOUS WITH EXPRESSIVE, ECLECTIC, AND DARING IMAGERY. HER SIGNATURE HIGH CONTRAST AND DARKER STYLE HAVE GRACED THE eyes OF FASHION GIANTS LIKE ANN DEMEULEMEESTER, CHANEL, AND VOGUE, ELEVATING HER TO THE UPPER ECHELONS OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY WORLD.
THEIR PATHS CONVERGED DURING THE RENOVATIONS OF ARNO'S SHOWROOM. UNITED BY A MUTUAL ADMIRATION FOR EACH OTHER'S WORK, THE IDEA OF COLLABORATION BLOSSOMED EFFORTLESSLY. WITH A SHARED VISION TO SHOWCASE THE BEST OF BELGIUM'S CREATIVE PROWESS, THEY EMBARKED ON A JOURNEY TO CRAFT AN EVENING UNLIKE ANY OTHER.
THIS EVENT WAS NOT ABOUT GRANDEUR OR OSTENTATION; IT'S AN INTIMATE GATHERING, A CELEBRATION OF ARTISTRY IN ITS PUREST FORM. NO SOCIAL MEDIA HYPE, NO EXTRAVAGANT PROMOTIONS—JUST A SELECT GATHERING OF INDIVIDUALS WHO APPRECIATE THE FINER THINGS IN LIFE.
TOGETHER WITH MAISON JONCKERS AND LIONEL JADOT WE OCCUPIED THE FULL 2ND FLOOR OF THE HÔTEL DE GUISE, IN PARIS’S 7TH ARRONDISSEMENT IN PARIS.
