ECHOES OF USE

Can furniture, as a silent witness to our daily lives, preserve the memory of our usage? A subtle, often implicit memory, embedded in our gestures, sensations, and interactions. Furniture is not limited to its aesthetic value alone, it embodies a lived history, made perceptible through the way we use it. Far from breaking with the past, some contemporary designers strive to reactivate this memory by exploring innovative techniques, while drawing inspiration from the forms, materials, and typologies of historical furniture. It is precisely this tension between heritage and reinvention that the Curated section of COLLECTIBLE Brussels highlights this year. By revealing the intimate relationship that unfolds between the object and its user, the featured designers each extend, in their own way, the echoes of past use.
