Design Museum Brussels
Designing Childhood. A History of Design for Kids
01/04/2026 – 20/09/2026
Through pieces from its collections, the museum emphasises the vitality of design in Belgium, in resonance with major international narratives. It reveals an approach that is attentive to children’s needs, integrating ecological and educational issues from an early stage. From children’s bedrooms designed by Sylvie Feron in the 1930s to Jules Wabbes, to the current initiatives of the ecoBirdy duo with the Charlie chair made from recycled plastic, Belgian designers also introduce childlike singularity into the domestic space. Thus, design in Belgium reflects a creativity where formal innovation is combined with a reflection on society and the environment
