zangra is a renowned Belgian design label which offers exquisite lighting and home decorations. Design aficionados are warmly invited to discover zangra’s new flagship store in Brussel which already just won a Commerce Design Brussels Award (initiated by Brussels Design September).

The Dutch graphic artist Nynke Tynagel transformed the storefront window into a modern stained glass window that creates a beautiful play of colors in the store when the weather is sunny.
To decorate the window, zangra gave carte blanche to Nynke who is famous for eclectic compositions with iconic everyday items. Usually she creates graphic art but especially for zangra, she designed three majestic chandeliers by combining zangra light components. The playful chandeliers are titled Carousel, Tube and Twirly.

In addition to its international success online, zangra is excited to now also offer an immersive shopping experience that brings its unique design aesthetic to life. This first flagship store is located in the heart of Brussels: behind the Royal Flemish Theater (KVS) and facing Wim Delvoye’s famous Gothic cement truck.
The idea was to outfit the shop with a similar approach as when their products are crafted: a blend of retro and offbeat resulting in zangra’s sleek minimalist style. The interior design features a retro and pop aesthetic with a strong emphasis on eco-responsibility. It combines a showroom with an office space to give customers a behind-the-scenes look at the brand. The 200 m2 store features a wide selection of zangra’s collections, from Art Deco lighting to Retro home accessories.
