Vormen

Vormen is creative collaboration between artist Edouard Devriendt and furniture maker Leon Duyck. It is a practice that explores objects both in their function and within their poetic possibilities. In 2023, as part of a team, they won the competition to design the restaurant for the new contemporary art museum of KANAL Centre Pompidou.

The team, named Chantal, consists of the architecture practices Elmēs and Générale, artists Sarah & Charles, and Vormen. All of these practices are based in Brussels and came together to create this project in a multidisciplinary way.

Chantal

The restaurant doesn’t present itself solely as a space for consumption, but rather as a productive environment, where guests, chefs, cooks and waiters together move around in a collective effort to make a beautiful dinner possible. Three 11m long tables will occupy the space. They are a base for a public restaurant and many settings. Furniture is essential to the proposal. They are created to be mobile, in order to give a certain spatial power to guests and staff. Chairs can create more intimate configurations, while stools and side tables are there to be moved around.
