During Salone Del Mobile, Nathalie Van der Massen unveils the REN Collection, a sensory collection comprising three room dividers in a limited edition. The collection reflects her affinity for natural Belgian materials such as linen, oak, and walnut. Each item in the REN Collection will be available in a limited edition of 8 pieces, along with an exclusive artist piece.
This distinctive collection originated as a direct result of Nathalie's involvement in architectural projects, where she consistently received requests for her insights into integrating unique textiles into the architectural design of spaces. The pragmatic genesis of the collection transforms, through intensive experiments and fabric research, into three inspiring designs that play with rhythm and transparency. Nathalie treads the line between design, art, and architectural object, balancing authenticity with innovation.
Nathalie will showcase her new collection at Baranzate Ateliers, a concept created by Lionel Jadot, together with other Belgian designers as part of a group exhibition called Bold Dualities. Despite Belgium being a small country with a complex historical and political structure, its designers often exhibit humility, adaptability and ambiguity. These contradictions converge in the presentation of BOLD Dualities. The exhibition illustrates how designers adapt to the ambiguous identity of the country, navigate complex situations, and engage with their surroundings. Above all, it highlights how this translates into their designs, how they stimulate and question the design industry, push boundaries within existing norms, and never shy away from challenges. This unique approach often distinguishes them from similar international profiles, allowing them to focus on a distinctive style of design that makes Belgian design truly unique.
