ABOUT US
THE GALLERY

Rue de l'Ecole Moderne, 17
B-1070 Bruxelles
   
  A home which is also a gallery - a
gallery which is also a home.

This is THE GALLERY's and its
owner's philosophy.

Konrad Kern moved from Cologne to
Brussels, where he opened his first
shop in 1994. After nine years, in 2003
he took a very special decision to
combine gallery and residence, work
and private life in one big space
where he exhibits and lives at the
same time.

The furnishing therefore is no longer
just a series of collection items
to be put on show in a glass-case - an
imaginary itinerary which appeals
to the collector but deprives them of
their original function reducing them to
museum exhibits. It becomes a
combination of elements which create a
living and constantly evolving domestic
environment. Visitors are no longer
anonymous passers-by but friends
who are "welcomed" in a "family"
environment where they can recognize
and share the patterns of their
daily life and passion as a collector.
