Ludic modernismn in Belgium


This weekend we went to the exhibition "Ludic modernism in Belgium" in the Atomium in Brussels. That was a two for one because I had never been to the Atomium before as well. The exhibition was nice (a bit small) and the term "ludic modernism" was again a first for me. Never heard that one before...

One of my favorites was the chair designed by Alfred Hendrickx for airport Zaventem (see picure). And an overview of atomic shaped doorknobs! Very cool. Bought the catalogue (again a bit small) that has a nice overview of 50's/60's Belgian modernism. I noticed quite some interesting architecture. Makes me wonder what hidden modern gems are out there in Belgium...
