Bars

In Brussels, finding bars (also known as doing tourism) is easy.
And sometimes it was so easy that, after having food, we went to the same place over and over again.

Other interesting sites

In 2005, a group of designers from 5 different countries gathered in Brussels to design a pretty important system.

This page is not about that system.

It's about us, and what we did besides designing very important systems.
