Margiela Currency Wallets
(28 April 2008) - Famed Belgian fashion recluse Martin Margiela's wallets fashioned on the two leading currencies are the perfect wry accessory for these brink-of-recession times.

Retailing at £195, they're available in both Euro and Greenback styles from Oki-Ni.Tip: See Refinery29's recent wallet round-up for less conceptual and more, um, wallet-friendly options. ...

Cool Hunting Video Presents: Tom Gallant
(28 October 2007) - Living and working in Brussels, Belgium, Tom Gallant creates hand-cut floral prints out of archived pornographic magazines. Using a surgical blade, he cuts into the imagery, layering extremely delicate cut-outs on top of one another to assemble a dramatic visual experience that almost blurs your vision. If you look closely you can see hints of hair, lips, neck and genitalia, but it's the paper's...

On Location: Antwerp, Part 1
(05 June 2007) - Let's bypass the Antwerp Six introduction, as one needn't be a fashion historian to know that this city was built on fashion. Designers come out of Belgium with a certain confidence and willingness to take risks like a child from wonderfully supportive parents. Two full meandering days in this small city is enough to get a taste of the smorgasbord of local shop options...

Filliers Fruit Jenevers
(30 May 2006) - Nothing says summer's arrived like a cold jenever on ice. Jenever is a liquor made from juniper berries (and often grain) that comes in many varieties.

Laidback by Das Ding
(27 June 2005) - The "Laidback" sofa, with its exaggerated proportions and skew angles, is a tricky new design from Belgian studio Das Ding. This oversized furnishing's super-high arm rests and upwardly-sloped seats make it both attractive and visually unique. Only the "two-seater" model is currently available, but, despite its name, this high-volume sofa can easily seat up to four. Its unusual depth provides room for its occupants...
