Decorating the streets by Liesbet Bussche

Each of us can think about how to decorate the streets of our hometown. God forbid, everyone has a fantasy, which means that I can come to everyone's ideas. But so far only designers are embodying their ideas - and they are great at it! Although you should not think that everything comes out so easily for them.

Only here you can decorate the streets in absolutely different ways. Someone thinks that these should be dealt with by hanging creative advertisements, someone believes that the best option is to simply plant more trees and bushes in the city, so it will itself become brighter. Belgian designer Liesbet Bussche has found his own way. He decided that the city just lacked brightness and added it with the help of … decorations. But how can rings, earrings and bracelets be noticeable for the city? It turns out that they can, if we make them somewhat … larger than we are used to seeing. His hands, although this is, of course, an exaggeration, were made at once several ornaments of a huge size. They are not what to put on, it will be difficult to lift them!

Here we can see huge earrings, which have a huge concrete ball instead of a mother-of-pearl bead. Perhaps the decorations seem a little useless, but after all, they give some charm, even intrigue to the street. Not in every corner of the world you can see earrings of this size, not only in the gallery, but also on the street. By the way, about the gallery - the designer's projects will be shown at the Galerie Sofie Lachaert until November 8th.

Although it should be said that not all of them will "take root" in the city. If earrings seem interesting, then sand jewelry simply won't last. Firstly, not in every area it will be possible to find so much sand, secondly, it is much more difficult to notice them - compare with earrings, and thirdly - the patterns on the sand can easily be washed off by rain or broken by a child.

The rest of the jewelry deserves the top five. On one of the chains in the city, the designer suggested placing a lock, showing that this is not just a chain that acts as a fence, but a real necklace.

We can also see a bracelet - here, too, not just a standard chain, but a heart broken in half - many jewelry of this type can be seen in stores with accessories. True, the impression is spoiled a little by the fact that the jewelry is made not of expensive materials, but of concrete and iron, but we will not hang gold or silver chains on the street!

But the designer did not stop there either. He considered that it is possible to act and vice versa. Not only to increase the decorations and make them from rather non-standard materials, but also to create the objects of the streets familiar to us from the decorations. For example, this warning tape is made of … red and white beads! You may not understand this from afar, but when we see it up close, we understand that these are real beads.

The idea belongs to the designer Liesbet Bussche (Belgium)
