L’Art nouveau à Bruxelles. Demeures intemporelles,

Exceptional images of Art Nouveau interiors, both hidden and private

Art Nouveau was born in Brussels in 1893, with the pioneering works of Victor Horta and Paul Hankar, and flourished there for some twenty years.
This extraordinary architectural style was applied not only to the construction of sumptuous townhouses, but also to workers’ housing, as well as to the design and decoration of schools, places of entertainment, banks, shops and hospitals.

This book offers readers the rare opportunity to step inside a selection of preserved and often carefully restored Art Nouveau buildings. It highlights the work of architects who shaped this movement, while also evoking the lives of their past and present inhabitants and tracing the history of efforts to safeguard this exceptional architectural heritage.

The publication is richly illustrated with numerous photographs, both historic and contemporary, revealing the enduring beauty and detail of Brussels’ Art Nouveau interiors.
