TLmag Silver Edition & Silver Guide 2016 marks the magazine’s silver jubilee and the 25th edition of the Biennale Interieur in Kortrijk. TLmag’s ‘diamond cut’ dymaxion is put into dialogue with the Silver Lining Interior concept – curated by Office Kersten Geers David Van Severen in collaboration with the graphic design Joris Kritis and the artist Richard Venlet – of this year’s event. After Biennale Interieur, the exhibition will move to Spazio Nobile Gallery in Brussels from 24 November 2016 until 19 February 2017.

A curated selection of 25 designs – lighting, furniture, finishes, and accessories by cutting-edge creatives, recognised for their innovative concepts and culture of creation – will be contextualised in ‘all silver’ environment. Enhanced by the visual qualities of reflection, iridescence, and optical effect, this showcase is brought together thanks to scenographic elements designed by Abet Laminati. Joining the exhibition is this special edition TLmag Silver Guide, with further information about each designer, design and brand.

On show, works by: Sebastian Herkner for Pulpo, Alain Gilles for Verreum, Yann Grienenberger of Centre International d’Art Verrier, Nathalie Dewez, Sylvain Willenz for Retegui, Katia De Witte of 2tec2, Hélène Dashorst for Limited Edition, Ilaria Innocenti for Portego, Friederike Delius of Studio Berg, Niclas Jørgensen, Nedda El-Asmar of Studio Nedda for Maison Vervloet, Patricia Urquiola for Flos, Adrien Rovero, Oskar Zięta for Zięta Prozessdesign, Jessica Knutsson of Signell Knutsson, Palomba Serafini Associati for Laufen, Tomas Kral, Alfredo Häberli for Georg Jensen, Christian Wassmann of Studio Christian Wassmann, Monica Förster for Skultuna, Xavier Lust for Driade, Glenn Sestig for Van Den Weghe, Hubert Verstraeten for Niessing, Poetic Lab for Lobmeyr, Lucie Koldová for Brokis.
