This Winter, sustainable design gallery Augusta presents an exhibition that brings together the pioneering work of Frédérique Hoet (1929-2022) and the research of 26-year-old designer Mathilde Wittock.

For over thirty years, Belgian architect, designer and artist Frédérique Hoet (1929-2022) created wall pieces, jewellery and objects from leather scraps coming from la Maison Delvaux. A collaboration that began in 1986 and has resulted in the creation of limited-edition bags (photos on request). Mathilde Wittock is a Belgian bio/eco-designer specializing in sustainable innovation and acoustic design. Her work includes Bounce, a line of benches, lounge chairs and panels made from tennis balls recovered from Belgian tennis clubs.

With this third exhibition, Augusta continues to explore solutions for introducing more sustainable production processes in the world of design. At the heart of this spring exhibition are earth, wood, linen and wool. Materials that have been used for thousands of years are sublimated, combined or diverted from their usual uses to reveal their potential.

chromatic array

works by Frédérique Hoet

17 November - 16 December 2023 Thu-Sat, 14-18h
by appointment until 20 January 2024

Augusta presents Chromatic array by Frédérique Hoet-Segers (1929-2022). For more than sixty years, this belgian architect and artist created using scraps of leather that she transformed and assembled by using a technique she developed. Combining strips of leather allowed her to create abstract, geometric compositions made up of lines, curves and dotted lines. Augusta is exhibiting and selling a selection of wall pieces, objects and jewellery.

states of matter

September 15 - October 14, 2023
Thu-Sat, 14-18h

States of matter focuses on materials and textures : the density of wool meeting the hypnotic appearance of salt, the robustness of brass and stone combined contrasting with the transparency of linen. Each of the designers presented focuses on one or two materials, their specific features, their imperfections and their reaction to fire or water to create unique works.

The common thread is an approach to design based on the transformation of these materials: natural materials, offcuts and damaged products are cut up, combined or melted to create new materials. All potential solutions for introducing more sustainable and environmentally-friendly production processes in the world of design.
