Serax

A Belgian house that publishes other people's ideas — each designer, artist or chef is given a run of their own.

Brothers Serge and Axel Van Den Bossche founded Serax in 1986. Axel leads it now, with a team in Antwerp who decide who gets a collection.

The names run from Ann Demeulemeester and Marni to the chefs Sergio Herman and Ottolenghi, next to designers nobody has heard of yet. The pieces are made by craftspeople in clay, glass, stone, wood and metal, so the catalogue has no single look — what holds it together is the people in it.
