Diamond Boutique
We could start off with some cheesy quote about diamonds and best friends. Let’s not. Instead, let us get straight to the point: we designed a diamond exhibition in Maasmechelen Village.
When you are assigned to create a design for a ‘Love the Diamond boutique’, what’s the first thing that pops up? BLING BLING! Hold your horses. Clichés are not our style. We started our design with the origin of the diamond: (crystallized) carbon.

Diamonds consist entirely of crystallized carbon. Carbon can only crystallize at extremely high temperatures and pressure; circumstances found 150 kilometers below ground. Crystallized carbon rises to the surface through volcano eruptions, sealed in volcanic rock.

The black rough stone that emerges from the heart of the earth has, after lots of grinding and polishing, a shiny core with many facets and colors. This is exactly what we see in the interior design. The walls are painted black and look like we’ve plastered them with carbon. At the center of the exposition an iridescent volume is shining in an array of colors and facets.

Belgium, and Antwerp in particular, is a large player in the history of diamonds. An impressive 80% of the rough diamonds that are mined worldwide end up in Antwerp. The oldest existing document proving diamond trade in Antwerp, goes back to 1447, when a city magistrate proclaimed an edict stipulating that strong measures were to be taken to combat the trade in fake gemstones, including diamonds. Pretty hardcore, don’t you think?
