Home Sweet Home

More than 50 birdhouses reinvented by renowned Belgian and international designers.

The exhibition Home Sweet Home explores the idea of home with a playful twist. Birdhouses by internationally renowned designers demonstrate how living, care, and beauty come together for both humans and nature. This small but meaningful object is reimagined into creations where material, form, and color reflect the designer’s identity. From ceramics and metal to wood and textiles, some birdhouses appear delicate and precious, others are robust or playful, functional or sculptural.

Home Sweet Home, curated by Swiss interior stylist and curator Connie Hüsser, presents more than 50 unique birdhouses designed by prominent Belgian and international designers. Belgian designer Bram Vanderbeke created a birdhouse in aluminum, while Linde Freya Tangelder crafted one in her signature architectural style using tulipwood. French designer Maya Eline Leroy expressed herself colorfully with air-dry clay, gouache, and acrylic paint. British designer Bethan Laura Wood, Dutch designers Sabine Marcelis and Roosje van Donselaar, and Korean designer Kwangho Lee also created birdhouses in their distinctive styles.
