BRUT was founded in 2018 and is a collective of emerging Belgian designers. The junction of their practices is a natural consequence of their similarities in idiom, concepts and vision. They exemplify a young generation of Belgian designers which values the significance of collaboration and collective involvement within the contemporary and international design landscape.

BRUT therefore embodies the commitment to realizing a dialogue between designers and their design language: a visual and conceptual encounter which both reflects the common qualities of the designers and emphasizes the personal idiosyncrasies of their practices. Every year, this dialogue is materialized with a co- decided scenography – a shared setting which visualizes a collective narrative.

BRUT has a dedicated attention for the architectural, sculptural and emotional potential of contemporary Belgian design. On the one hand, this focus is a result of the personal sensibilities of the participating designers – the corresponding characters of their practices. On the other hand, it creates a common ground and motive; it realizes and defines an environment where the designers can show, strengthen and challenge each other.
