Michel François redesigns Bozar's Horta Hall
Opening 18 September 2025
Horta Hall, Bozar, Brussels, Belgium
Belgian artist Michel François and the architecture firm Giusto Van Campenhout, together with designer Flore Fockedey, have given Bozar's Horta Hall a fresh new look. Their intervention casts Victor Horta’s grand architecture in a new light: a monumental curtain creates a room-within-a-room, a trompe-l’œil carpet playfully references the original marble, and new furniture invites visitors to sit and linger.
With the opening of ‘Horta by Bozar Café Victor’, the hall gains an extra dimension, offering the perfect stop before or after a concert, or simply a place to meet and connect. The hall also remains a versatile space, hosting everything from performances and workshops to events and receptions. Local collaboration runs through the project, with a focus on short supply chains and Belgian craftsmanship, realised in partnership with Brussels artisans.
