Polestar Gallery collaborates with Casimir & INDERA
HASSELT, BELGIUM – 3 NOVEMBER 2023. Polestar, the Swedish premium electric car brand, presents Polestar Gallery, an initiative providing a platform for local designers to exhibit their work in Polestar Spaces around Belgium.
After functional artist Thibeau Scarcérieaux set the stage with ‘Reflective Visions’ at Polestar Brussels, you can visit the furniture collection ‘Folded’ of furniture master Casimir and design seating manufacturer INDERA starting from November 3rd at Polestar Hasselt.
Casimir challenges conventional ideas by reimagining seven Flemish furniture classics, including a traditional coffee table, console, and magazine/book holder, with a 'folded' twist. This collection, inspired by Japanese origami art, showcases intriguing shapes and refined lines that accentuate the natural beauty of solid oak wood.
"Polestar, Casimir, and INDERA share the same vision and values. We embrace a style that is both powerful and refined, combining traditional craftsmanship with advanced technologies. Our designs are not only a feast for the eyes but also extremely user-friendly. These layered values open the door to poetry and beauty, forming the essence of human existence." - Casimir & INDERA
Polestar believes in bringing together design, technology, and art as a means to push boundaries and foster sustainable innovation. This fall, this vision comes to life with Polestar Gallery, an initiative where Polestar opens its Spaces in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, and Hasselt to local designers from various disciplines to showcase their latest and most inspiring projects.
Femke Brouns, Head of Marketing, PR & Events Belux Polestar, says: "By providing designers a platform for their creations, we hope to catalyze innovative ideas that not only inspire but also expand our horizons. This initiative exemplifies Polestar's commitment to exceptional design, performance, sustainability, and innovation. It also reaffirms the empowering force of collaboration as a means to bring about meaningful change."
