CID - centre d'innovation et de design au Grand-Hornu

Benoît Deneufbourg is a Belgian designer, born in La Louvière in 1977. He studied Interior Architecture at St Lucas (Brussels) in 2001. His interest for materials and their uses drives him to search for practical solutions, characterised by simplicity. This field of search incorporates furniture, lighting, design objects, scenography and interior architecture. The exhibition of earlier work is completed with a presentation of new projects, showing objects created exclusively for the occasion in partnership with firms or craftspeople from Wallonia. The exhibition not only emphases the individual talent of the artist, but also highlights local industry and the artisanal skills of craftsmen.
