Catalogue that accompanied an exhibition in Brussels 2013 of the celebrated functionalist designer Jules Wabbes. Well illustrated and appears comprehensive in not only discussing and illustrating his work but also locating him within a wider international design context.
“Iwan Strauven (co-editor) situates Jules Wabbes and his oeuvre in the Belgian and international context of that time, describing the deviant path he followed as a designer and the highbrow network in which he circulated. The contribution of Fredie Floré deals with the representative qualities of his furniture as an exponent of Belgian economy and culture on the Milan Triennales.” (DesignIssues: Volume 30, Number 3 Summer 2014)
