Antwerp-based art store and gallery St. Vincents has tapped five designers for the ‘5/5/5’ project that will see five exclusive objects created for the brand’s fifth anniversary. Artists such as Ben Storms, Frank Stabel, Lukas Cober, Fred Rigby, Cedric Gepner, and Sophie Galinet from Studio Haos worked alongside St. Vincent founders Henri Delbarre and Geraldine Jackman for this special release. Each item embodies the style and spirit of the designer that created it, resulting in a collection of fully functional and opulent offerings.
A pillowy seat, ‘Rock’ armchair, and table will be showcased alongside the other bespoke items at the exhibition. The 5/5/5 collection will be on display Jul 9, 2022 at St. Vincents' printing house.
