DAMN Magazine invites you to the COLLECTIBLE - the international fair dedicated to 21st century collectible design. It will open for its 7th edition in the Vanderborght Building, Brussels from 7 to 10 March 2024.
👉 The exhibition, celebrating 20 Years of DAMN, "Les Tabourtes du Terroir" will be presented during the fair.
Collectible is one of the most important design platforms globally for both established and emerging galleries, and design studios. With a heavy emphasis on materiality as a language to express a vision, the work presented explores the link between conceptualization and realization, where ideas manifest into tangible forms.
👉 For more information on the programs and the tickets visit https://collectible.design/
