Paradis Apartment is a project by Albane Paret and Micha Pycke, founders of the PR and communications agency Club Paradis, specialising in art, design, architecture and hospitality.

Paradis Apartment is not a static concept, but a versatile, evolving and hybrid place.The flat serves as showroom, gallery space and holiday apartment, where the works and objects are put to everyday use, away from the sacredness of the whitecube.

An important aspect of Paradis Apartment is the notion of time and the setting in which one experiences the works: in an inspiring living context and a private atmosphere, with family or friends and without the gaze of strangers, the objects and artworks can be experienced over a longer period of time

Every year, the interior of the apartment changes, so that there are always new objects, makers, designers and artists to discover.For this second interior, Belgian and international designers, artists, brands and makers, both established names and emerging talents, once again collaborated.

As an experiment in self-organization and a questioning of the spaces in which one can present design and art,The apartment refers to the early days of people like Leo Castelli, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Gavin Brown, who all started their careers in the art world by staging exhibitions and presentations in their own domestic places like their living rooms, kitchens, or even hotel rooms.

The new interior draws its inspiration from the North Sea.It emanates a refined atmosphere, punctuated by the changing shades of the Belgian sea - from grey to green, silver and blue.

The design also plays on materials and textures: the warm softness of the carpets and wall lights contrasts with the coldness of the materials used for the mirrors, the kitchen island and the metal chairs in the dining room.The ceramic pieces, steel chairs and sculptural armchair in the living room add a more raw, organic dimension.

The interior consists of unique and limited editions as well as timeless classics.The new interior presents Maarten Van Severen's legendary 'Blue Bench', a design from 1997 and still available through the Maarten Van Severen Foundation, in black.
