From Julie:
Belgium is about the size of the state of Maryland and has a population of about 10.5 million, yet its design influence is outsize. This week we visit some of our favorite Belgian designers and stores, starting with When Objects Work, which produces and distributes immaculate domestic accoutrements. Go to whenobjectswork.be to view the range.

Just spotted these lyrical graphic lights by Belgian designer Nathalie Dewez on Hoping for Happy Accidents; was excited to read that Habitat will be offering them this spring, which means they will be in the realm of affordable. Go to n-d.be for more information.
