Spazio Nobile is pleased to present The Lunisolar House by Taiwanese artist Pao Hui Kao in the Horizons section of Art Brussels. In this mesmerising piece, Pao Hui Kao invites us to reimagine the home as a delicate threshold, a shelter shaped by light, breath, silence and vulnerability, rather than a fortress. Using humble yet transcendent materials such as folded tracing paper and rice glue, the artist has created a space that is both architectural and meditative: a sanctuary without walls; a chapel without doctrine; a horizon where fragility is transformed into a new form of strength and beauty.

For ten days, Villa Empain becomes a living ecosystem of Belgian contemporary collectible design and art, with 32 designers and artists from Zaventem Ateliers taking over the historic building.
