A Curated Collaboration of Design and Gastronomy

Beauty and Craftsmanship in Everyday Life

At RUIMTE, I believe that beauty and craftsmanship belong in everyday life. This September, I am proud to announce a unique collaboration with Soixante, an Antwerp based restaurant celebrated not only for its refined, seasonal cuisine but also for its sensitivity to atmosphere and design.

From 3 to 22 September 2025, Soixante will host a curated collection of artisional objects from RUIMTE, carefully chosen to harmonize with the restaurant’s elegant interior while standing as statements of artistry, craftsmanship, and contemporary design.

Why Soixante Antwerp and RUIMTE

Soixante has earned recognition not only for its food — described by the Financial Times as a “dream neighbourhood restaurant” — but also for its refined approach to aesthetics. This appreciation for beauty and storytelling makes it a natural partner for RUIMTE. At RUIMTE, I am dedicated to curating uncommon contemporary design objects that bring artisanal craftsmanship and narrative into everyday spaces.

This collaboration is more than a display. From our very first meeting, it was clear that we share the same core values: partnership, storytelling, beauty, and a deep respect for artisanal work — along with the belief that design, like food, has the power to connect people and tell stories.

It’s about shared values, a profound respect for craftsmanship, and a strong belief that both design and food have the power to connect people and tell stories.

Design and Food: A Shared Language of Storytelling

The Power of Atmosphere

Soixante is more than a culinary destination. It is a space where every dish tells a story. This philosophy aligns seamlessly with RUIMTE’s vision: to bring storytelling into interiors through objects that are not only functional but also artistic.

Experiencing Contemporary Design in Situ

I have carefully selected RUIMTE collection on display at Soixante to complement the restaurant’s refined interior. Guests will have the unique opportunity to experience these pieces in context — while dining — and also to purchase them directly through RUIMTE.

This collaboration demonstrates how design, just like food, can enrich everyday life, creating a holistic sensory experience.

 

RUIMTE × Soixante Antwerp — Visit This September

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience the dialogue between design and gastronomy in the heart of Antwerp.  We invite you to discover contemporary design, artisanal objects, and craftsmanship in a setting where beauty and storytelling are always on the menu.

Our idea is to give the visitors an opportunity to enjoy Soixante’s seasonal cuisine surrounded by RUIMTE’s curated design collection, and at the same time, discover and purchase object from my curated collection.
