GDO Project x Studio Max Reul

Studio Max Reul x GDO Project: GDO Projects kicked off with a signature capsule furniture collection crafted in collaboration with artist Studio Max Reul.

This collection is crafted from century-old, sustainably sourced oak and black walnut from the Wallonia region. Each piece is meticulously handmade in Belgium, individually numbered, and signed, available in limited editions or by commission. Conceived as functional artworks, the pieces explore the expressive potential of wood, surface transformation and manual finishing.

GDO Projects invites visitors to reflect on the intersection of sustainability and craftsmanship in contemporary design, exploring how furniture can be a lasting part of our cultural and environmental narrative.

Almine Rech is an internationally recognized gallery known for its rigorous and independent program, with roots in Paris since its founding in 1989. With a longstanding commitment to minimal, perceptual, and conceptual practices. In Brussels, a selection of design benches on deposit complements the gallery’s spring–summer exhibitions, offering visitors moments of pause and reflection in dialogue with the artworks on view.

Art Brussels

Art Brussels is one of Europe’s leading contemporary art fairs, bringing together around 150 international galleries each year. Known for its strong focus on artistic discovery, the fair showcases a dynamic mix of emerging talents and established artists across curated sections, offering collectors and audiences a vibrant overview of the global contemporary art scene.
The thick walnut bench and coffee table were designed for the fair, echoing the works of Orfeo Tagiuri and Jesse Stevenson.

Metanoia

Metanoia is a solo exhibition of new paintings by William Farr, conceived in close dialogue with the gallery’s architecture. Structured as a spatial journey, the exhibition features large-scale, mirrored, window-like works that guide viewers through the space. Benches placed throughout encourage moments of pause, reinforcing the exhibition’s quiet rhythm and inviting a contemplative, immersive viewing experience. The chapel like setup with the benches invited visitors to sit down and immerse themselves in Willam Farr's exceptional fieldcolor paintings.
