Wallonia Design debuts the third volume of 50 Success Stories. Among these profiles, 2014 Nobel Prize in Economics in Jean Tyrol is cited as saying “design has become a vector for economics.” The same sentiment is expressed in this latest edition. Here are TLmag’s three selections.

Studio Jo-a – comprised of Dimitri Verboomen and Sébastien Boucquey – was founded in 2009 and has since experienced constant development. They put forward integrated & customized designs for the long term thanks to the combination of metal and wood. ” We do not create simple furniture, we adapt to every client’s needs with details and the ergonomics. ” – S. Boucquey

Gardion has always open her arms to different designers and doors to other markets – such as France and the Netherlands. “Here we created to improve the quality of life & not to do the show. ” – E.

Urbastyle by Jan & Bart Laroy is a family business that has become a reference in Northern Europe – promoting the idea that design should be an added value on all levels both inside and outside of society. ” We believe that design is more than a product of history. It’s all a mind to create, both inside and outside the company. ” – J. Laroy
