BLOCKS was part of BOLD Dualities, an exhibition, curated by Baroness O. for Belgium is Design, showcased Atelier Leda & 29 other Belgian designers and studios in a scenography by Karel Burssens in Baranzate Ateliers during Milan design week 2024.

Despite Belgium being a small country with a complex historical and political structure, its designers often exhibit humility, adaptability and ambiguity. These contradictions converge in the presentation of BOLD Dualities. The exhibition illustrates how designers adapt to the ambiguous identity of the country, navigate complex situations, and engage with their surroundings. Above all, it highlights how this translates into their designs, how they stimulate and question the design industry, push boundaries within existing norms, and never shy away from challenges. This unique approach often distinguishes them from similar international profiles, allowing them to focus on a distinctive style of design that makes Belgian design truly unique.
