On the cover of ‘Inzoemen’ magazine
JANUARY 2023

During a visit to the Heritage Library of Bruges, Margot Billiet got inspired by the Decorated Papers used for the 18th and 19th century almanac covers. Diving deeper in the subject she discovered those papers were also used to decorate boxes, furniture and even functioned as wallpapers!
From that first research Atelier Billiet created a series of contemporary decorative papers and postcards that are now selling at the Handmade in Brugge shop. The Library of Bruges invited Margot Billiet for an interview for their monthly magazine Inzoemen, which can now be read here (in Dutch).

For Atelier Billiet the research continues, as Margot wants to explore the techniques used for the early decorated papers dating back to early 17th century.

Awarded the ‘Handmade in Brugge’ Label
15 JULY 2022

Margot Billiet, founder of Atelier Billiet, was awarded the 'Handmade in Brugge' label for her surface design projects in the interior and fashion market:

"For each request (B2B or B2C), we aim to develop a bespoke product that fits perfectly into its final environment. Our means are toughtful materials, perfect colors and balanced patterns.

Our mostly handmade production is a conscious choice: no stock, no waist and minimum order quantities for the client. But it also gives us the opportunity to introduce unusual materials and unexpected techniques to achieve extraordinary results."

Opening exhibition ‘KIJK’ in Damme
25 MAY 2022

Today was the opening of the exhibition 'KIJK' at NEST Stadslab Damme. We were commissioned to reconstruct a gilt leather design from the heritage collection and reproduce this as a wallpaper to adorn the ceiling of the 'Wunderkamer' in the center of the exhibition.

Since the design was so intriguing we decided to produce a limited edition for reselling.

Available in 7 colorways at €75 (wrapped per 6m²). Contact us for samples, info and shipping.
