Reness is a minimalist home located on the Belgian coast designed by Vanessa Schorreels. The design concept draws its inspiration from the breathtaking sea views that dominate the apartment’s vista. The design palette revolves around reflections, delicate textures, and an understated color scheme. It prioritizes the essentials, leaving ample room for personal interpretation and imagination. In this respect, the design pays homage to the influential designer Charlotte Perriand, who found inspiration in the organic forms of Normandy’s beaches and the rugged beauty of nature. Reness exudes a sense of warm minimalism, creating a serene ambiance with subtle hints of brutalism through its monolithic forms and robust materials.

What sets this apartment apart is its meticulous attention to craftsmanship, extending from the kitchen to the restrooms and from the living spaces to the bedrooms. Handcrafted details and carefully curated artistic objects, as well as artworks that subtly reference the sea, imbue the space with an authentic character. The Noguchi vintage lamp, suspended like a work of art above the table, is just one of the many visual delights. Reness is designed to foster gatherings and shared moments with friends and family around a central table. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to enhance the overall experience.
