Designer Event & Royal Experience @Carrières du Hainaut!

On 26 and 27 June 2025, with a select group of 60 leading designers, we shook the quarry of Carrières du Hainaut. to its foundations. Between the impressive rock formations and raw craftsmanship, we created something big: the spectacular launch of our book The Next Generation Interior Designers 02

This is not an ordinary book. This is the manifesto of the new generation. Creativity, courage and pure passion come together exactly as they do in the quarry. We ended the day with a dinner at 120 metres height.m at the absolute peak of inspiration, entrepreneurship and culinary delight.

This was not an event. This was a statement. An ode to the future of design.

Special thanks to our host John Vis and the fantastic team of Carrières du Hainaut and of course Sofie van der Linden – Bakkers for the organisation. Together we made history.

An inspiring must-have for lovers of bold architectural design. ‘The Next Generation 02‘ showcases the highest quality architectural projects by young and emerging architects and designers from the Netherlands and Belgium.
