Modern Atlanta

Please join Domus and the High Museum of Art in welcoming to Atlanta the founders of two Belgium design brands during an evening of design, cocktails, hors dourves and lectures. High Museum members with ID can purchase Modern Atlanta Home Tour and Belgium Design & Fashion and Darfur Fundraiser tickets for a $10 discount.

As part of  kick-off events scheduled for the first-ever Modern Atlanta International Design Event (MA08-Design Is Human), MA’s partnership with Domus was formed in part to unite the design community with members of the High during an event that will be an exciting and educational experience for both! The reception and lecture will be hosted at Domus’ showroom. And in keeping with the theme of MA08 “Design Is Human”, Thursday night Domus will feature two Belgian pioneers in design and fashion who in collaboration with Domus,  Jeffrey, CARE, and The Atlantan will participate in the highly anticipated Belgium Design & Fashion and Darfur Fundraiser on Saturday night, May 10, 8:30pm to 11:00pm.



Dirk Wynants, founder of and product designer for Extremis outdoor furniture, will speak on how his company has solved manufacturing problems using environmentally conscious methods and chosen eco-friendly materials for his products based on their quality and durability. Extremis products will be featured in the specially created outdoor lounge as part of the Belgium Design & Fashion Event and Darfur Fundraiser taking place Saturday evening. 



Philippe Oorts, founder of Antwerp-based Something Blue, will speak about his company’s philosophy of manufacturing sustainable women and children’s clothing while being mindful of reducing the impact on the environment as much as possible.
