Spazio Nobile, founded in Brussels in 2016 by Lise Coirier and Gian Giuseppe Simeone, celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026.
Since 2020, Villa Spazio Nobile, formerly known as Spazio Nobile At Home, has offered a unique curatorial format within the founders’ private villa in Tervuren.
The exhibition Spring-Summer 2026, Roots & Traces, offers a rare opportunity to discover exceptional works in the intimate setting of Spazio Nobile’s historic villa in Tervuren.
Through a choreography of reflections, transparencies, and textures, the exhibition unfolds a space where luminosity weaves together diverse artistic voices.
As the inaugural gesture of Villa Spazio Nobile’s renewed programme in Tervuren, it marks the beginning of a cycle of exhibitions and events where inside and outside, intimacy and openness, art and landscape, remain in constant dialogue.
In weaving practices and sensibilities through light, the exhibition becomes a prelude to the villa’s evolving role as a place of dialogue and cultural vitality.
Housed in a neo-classical, eclectic Art Nouveau villa built in 1900—with 1950s additions including a Cubex kitchen and Winter Garden—the space belongs to the Architectuur Wandeling (Architectural Promenade, Vlaams Brabant), close to the Africa Museum and the former Palais des Colonies.
Its interiors have been sensitively reimagined by Belgian interior architects Anne Derasse and Sébastien Caporusso, while the surrounding gardens were redesigned by landscape architect Aldrik Heirman.
Each curated exhibition reflects the gallery’s vision of bringing together contemporary applied arts and fine arts in an immersive, emotional, and site-specific dialogue.
Over the past six years, Villa Spazio Nobile has hosted seven collective exhibitions, presenting works by artists such as Vincent Fournier, Lisa Hellrup, Ernst Gamperl, Garnier & Linker, Éva Garcia, Kaspar Hamacher, Åsa Jungnelius, Pao Hui Kao, Isaac Monté, Didi NG Wing Yin, Païvi Rintaniemi, Bela Silva, Piet Stockmans, Kustaa Saksi, Jacqueline Surdell, Ann Beate Tempelhaug, Joost van Bleiswijk, Kiki van Eijk, Frederik Vercruysse, Fabian von Spreckelsen, Vera Vermeersch, Quentin Vuong, among others.
Villa Spazio Nobile continues this curatorial journey, weaving together materiality, heritage, and artistic expression in a setting where art and life converge seamlessly.
