Nicole Brock is a spatial designer. She creates classy interiors and objects, always with a twist.
She likes to work with traditional materials and craftsmanship but with a contemporary spin that results in timeless and dynamic ensembles.
Whether it’s a piece of custom furniture, or a full interior project, her work is well considered and locally crafted.
Ann-Sophie and her sister have a passion for all things graphic, particularly in the hospitality and retail industry. Their studio makes work feel like a party and their coworkers Daneel, Evelyn and Jasmin all bring their own moves. Together they tailor honest, yet playful designs that tell each client’s story.
From the perfect baseline to some crazy illustrations, packaging or the rebranding of a magazine, it’s in their nature to tackle every project with lots of love and excitement.
We love sharing our playground with other creatives.
Would you like to showcase your work in our window display?*
Have a vernissage / opening weekend? Or maybe use our meeting room to discuss important matters?**
Rempart44 is located in the heart of Brussels, just opposite Barberton and its amazing terrace.
Lots of exposure, plenty of good vibes.

Eva Lynen (1997) is active as an illustrator and visual artist.
Within her visual work she is a storyteller.
With invented characters and locations, she searches for the right setting to depict an event.
These are sometimes based on personal experiences but often on the everyday banality of life.
These stories are interpreted by different characters.
All this results in large and playful images in which color and composition play an important role.

A local, a painter an artist.
Everyone who lives in Brussels has seen Vijay somewhere wondering around.
While he doesn't always say a lot, he's always looking.
Inspired by people and stories, he transformes their lives into his own world. A fantasy inspiredon serendipity, the result always comes out somewhere unexpected.
Trough out his pencil he wishes to communicate to the public, I prefer images over words says the artist.

Merijn Verhelst (b. 1990, Brussels) is a self-taught Belgian artist currently based in Brussels.
His work is deceivingly simple, at once playful and naïvely melancholic, sometimes scatological yet very much layered in sophistication. Distinct throughout his overwhelming, obtrusive sculptural paintings, his tone is at once oddly humorous and emotionally charged.
Verhelst intuitively conceives optically dazzling works, until all the separate pieces of wood, marks, lines, and forms unite into a singular world. This non-representational universe ultimately initiates a dialogue between the abundance of neon colors and formalist aesthetic, all-the-while acting as an entry point into his child imagination – a childhood freezer filled with popsicles alongside hints of secret passageways. Combining a sense of craftsmanship with select flattened brushstrokes, his X-ray, precise abstract language is a subtle combination of elements of pop art and minimalism.

Procrastination is an ode to the architecture of cities that were created from the minds of architects, politicians, builders of a total new concept. It's a Utopia.
These cities have a structure, a distinct language of form, a signature of the architect that makes them one. They are a vision of the future, a hopeful dream. They succeed on some levels but often fail on other levels aswel. I transform those utopian constructions into new futuristic spaceships says the artist.

Jord is a young Belgian architect and designer.
He questions everyday objects and seeks to create new objects with a different understanding. With his distinctive design language, the design will never scream for attention but rather blends into its surroundings. And it is precisely this simplicity and honesty that he is aiming for.

Her work is a continual process of becoming. Walking on the thin frontier of art and design. She refuses to chose neither the one nor the other. Various worthless materials are transformed into valuable works in an almost alchemical way. Where others see waste, she sees the beauty of the repurposed.

"The ensemble is heterogeneous and could be mistaken for the interior of a nameless yet familiar individual. The objects play with a paradox: they seem familiar but give off an idea of au- tonomy. Although they suggest certain functions, these remain floating and undecided. They are objects without uses. Forms governed by an authority of their own."
