A note on our photoshoot
All of the fabulous photographs of this range were shot in Fosbury & Sons’ co-working space in heart of Brussels. With its characteristic façade of curved concrete modules, Constantin Brodzki’s architectural gem has an immediate, lasting visual impact.
Refurbished inside as a co-working space that stresses the dynamic value of the humanity of its inhabitants, we thought it was very fitting to showcase our newest collection within its walls. The richness of the Optimum range works wonderfully in this modernist environment and we’re delighted to finally reveal our photography to you.
