In September, Brussels, already the capital of Europe, will become the capital of European design! More than one hundred design-related events will be held between 8 and 30 September as part of the festival DESIGN SEPTEMBER. Amongst these events, we can discover a Polish oasis: the ‘Polish Design Island’.
‘Polish Design Island’ is a living interior whose furniture is composed of extravagant, innovative or original works, which are always decorative and inventive, and which are all designed by contemporary Polish designers. What makes them special is that this interior will be available day and night from 8 until 18 September because it will be presented in a transparent container set up on the place du Marché aux Poissons (behind the Sainte-Catherine church). 

A QR code has been placed on the container – just scan it in order to get hold of all the information on the exhibits which you can find on the site http://designisland.pl/
