Gevers Design

The exhibition is conceived and realised by Archives Design Projects, an association founded by Thierry Belenger, which aims to promote and protect Belgian after-war design. « Gevers Design » presents a selection of furniture, lighting, interior design models, projects, working documents, drawings and prototypes of games developed freely by Christophe Gevers towards the end of his life.

The projects of Gevers were realised thanks to the impulsion of both private initiatives and public administrations. Among his most important realisations are office arrangements, theatres, auditorium, cultural centre, conference centre, restaurants, taverns, laboratories, various boutiques and private appartments are to be found. Gevers executed the first Quick Louise fast-food restaurant in Brussels, followed by those in Paris, Bordeaux and Milan.

This exhibition is the first exhaustive inventory of Christophe Gevers’ work. He was a exquisite inventor, particularly productive and very personal, whose abundant production comes from the same universe, the same rigourous creative approach. The same direction he was teaching for 33 years at the “Ecole nationale supérieure des arts visuels” of La Cambre (Brussels), to several generations of designers and interior architects.
