A selection of five young designers will represent 101% Designed in Brussels during the Salone del Mobile in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan.  TL introduces the five creative brains one by one by means of a video presentation!  Last but not least: Julien de Smedt.

Architect and designer Julien De Smedt (°1975) is the founder and director of JDS Architects, based in Brussels and Copenhagen, whose work is known in Europe and abroad. Julien’s commitment to the exploration of new architectural models and programs has helped to re-energize the discussion of architecture. Before founding JDS Architects, Julien worked with OMA, Rotterdam and co-founded and directed the architecture firm PLOT in Copenhagen.  Among other awards and recognitions, Julien received the Maaskant prize of Architecture 2009. In 2007, Julien won the international competition for the new Holmenkollen Skijump in Oslo, currently under completion.
