In the world of Atelier Tourain, the Belgian art studio featured on our cover, matter and imagination merge. It is a place where pure craftsmanship and intuition give rise to objects with a soul. That same philosophy reflects what drives us at Hillewaere: creating meaning by combining humanity, ambition and daring.
In this issue, you’ll discover stories of entrepreneurs and creators who, each in their own way, embody that balance. Hilde Rutten of BergHoff Belgium explains how vision and determination lead to growth. At Lunetier Ludovic, we look at spectacles with a soul, and with Geert Baudewijns and Marc Vanloffelt, we delve into the world of cybersecurity.
We highlight the expansion of Christie’s International Real Estate Belgium with our new office in Waterloo and discuss building meaningful growth within the Hillewaere Group. We also admire the architectural finesse of Minus, the refined concrete artistry of Decomo and the timeless lighting of l’ombre.
There’s also room for inspiration and motivation: Tobias Maerien’s Club Sterker, top athlete Jolien D’Hoore’s reflections on the power of disconnection, and the timeless elegance of KAAI handbags. We round off with culinary refinement at La Botte, physical gold as a tangible assurance at Argentor Essayeurs, and a luxurious experience from D’leteren Luxury Performance during the recent Zoute Grand Prix.
