We asked Felicie to create somewhat of an alternative board game for our Morning After Issue. Here, you get the chance to download the game's unadultured and unobstructed version (complete with an online-exclusive title), as well as an interactive 'how to play' guide, just to make your […] Continue

How does a Hong-Kong-based magazine with a distribution of over 350,000 copies in China hear about The Word? This is how it all happened: someone from Hong Kong visited Brussels, stumbled upon our Nippon Issue, brought it back to show one of his or her colleagues, who so happened […] Continue

Some more shots we didn't run with in our December edition, this time taken by Ulrike for our Bling Special's Showstoppers selection. "Funny story, when we were doing the shoot, two guys from the heating company came to do a standard check, but Zoe was almost fully naked, so […] Continue

Over two months after, it's high time to refresh your memories and remind you of the interactive design exhibition we organised early September with a three minute video directed by Gaetan Saint-Remy of Sep Stigo Films. The three opening nights were as good a success as we had hoped […] Continue
