Design and Desire – Down the Rabbit Hole

_our first curatorial project in Belgium, presented as part of Brussels Design September.

_we partnered with Rempart 44 to develop “Design and Desire – Down the Rabbit Hole”, a curatorial project exploring the relationship between creativity, communication, and commodification.

_dp3.0 took over the working space of Rempart 44, typically a design studio, and transformed it into a temporary gallery. We brought together twelve Belgium-based artists, designers, and creatives whose work in part interrogates, subverts, or engages with the relationship between creativity and the systems of consumption that both sustain and distort it — positioning the exhibition as a critical reflection on contemporary creative systems.

_what unites these creatives is a human force that resists easy categorisation. In their works, the real becomes uncanny and unstable, function slips into fantasy and vice versa, and nature becomes performative echoing  our desires back to us.

_cultural partnerships & brand activations

_we partner with brands, organisations, and cultural institutions to develop projects that spark connection and deliver cultural impact. From events and exhibitions to installations and creative platforms, we bring together the right people, ideas, and contexts to produce work that is critically informed and built to resonate.

_brand strategy

_we work with brands to define what makes them not just unique, but truly relevant. By examining core positioning and connecting the dots in fresh, unexpected ways, we build strategic narratives that endure. Through in-depth consumer research, we shape strategies that don’t just react to trends but anticipate the future—helping your brand stand strong in a rapidly evolving landscape.

_creative mapping

_we design and lead creative mapping sessions that help individuals and teams develop ideas, clarify direction, and move projects forward. Working across workshops, group sessions, and strategic formats, we support creative practitioners, organisations, and institutions in producing stronger, more focused outcomes.


_mapping.0 is our proprietary methodology, developed through ongoing research and programme work at dp3lab. It is available as workshops, group sessions, and tailored programmes.

_curati0n

_we provide curatorial direction from early-stage concept development through to fully realised outcomes. With experience across design, education, and culture, we bridge strategy and creativity—bringing a clear and contemporary perspective to both emerging and established voices.
