COLLECTIBLE, the pioneering fair dedicated exclusively to 21st-century contemporary collectible design, returns to the Vanderborght building in Brussels for its third edition from 5 – 8 March 2020.

Experimental in its approach, COLLECTIBLE is a one of a kind platform for the showcase and discovery of the best in collectible design today. Seeking to continuously push the boundaries of creativity, the fair brings together established and emerging galleries, designers and design studios in a dynamic integrated space and collaborates with leading curators, design institutions and foundations to deliver groundbreaking commissions and curated projects. The third edition of COLLECTIBLE presents an expanded roster of over 100 international exhibitors and an exciting new panorama of unique and limited-edition works by practitioners from a mixed range of disciplines, sitting at the crossroads of design, architecture and art.

In addition to established galleries MANIERA (Brussels), valerie_traan (Antwerp) and Todd Merrill (New York), cutting-edge galleries including Functional Art Gallery (Berlin), CAMP Design Gallery (Milan), and Everyday Gallery (Antwerp) return to the fair, while Galerie KRL (Eindhoven) and Side Gallery (Barcelona) joins for the first time.

Interdisciplinary spaces and ateliers, renowned for their innovative and experimental approaches, further enrich the depth and scope of the fair. London-based Blue Mountain School conceives a special project bringing together sustainable design in line with their core mission. Emerging design hub and residency Zaventem Ateliers, located outside Brussels, feature new works by talented makers based in the communal workshop. This year also sees the introduction of BESPOKE, a brand-new section showcasing signature works by individual designers and design studios through fresh creations and high-end commissions. Among the highlights, DIM Atelier, reputed for their level of craftsmanship, showcase new eye-catching lighting pieces in bronze, while BRUT Collective (Brussels) present a variation of their second edition of BODEM, a curated ensemble of art and design pieces produced in collaboration with Belgian architectural practice Antoine Architectural Finishes.

Curated and selected by advisor Brent Dzekciorius, exhibitors in this
section include Albane Salmon from Atelier Sauvage (Paris), Studio Cober (Maastricht) and Supertoys Supertoys (Rotterdam), among others.
