Installation

Joe Sterck

For the reopening of Design Museum Gent, Joe Sterck set to work with a very special material: the circular bricks made from Ghent demolition waste for our new façade (Gent Waste Brick for DING). Using the leftover bricks, he is now creating temporary seating, lighting and a bar. In doing so, he playfully explores the boundary between design and architecture. A cheerful and welcoming invitation to see the museum in a whole new light.

More about the designer

Joe Sterck is an Antwerp-based designer who likes to start from a strong idea or an unexpected material. In his work, he is always looking for a balance between form, function and a touch of character. Alongside his independent practice, he designs small-scale furniture and everyday objects with Studio Sterck. By offering them directly to the public, he makes thoughtful design and craftsmanship accessible to a wide audience.
