Our new collection 'Vieux Fleuve' is a tribute to the Fragnée bridge located in Liège. Nicknamed 'Pont des Anges' and classified as a Walloon Heritage monument, this work is full of fascinating stories . One of them particularly interested us.
Old River - an allegory
On the railing of this bridge there are two types of ornaments. These are allegorical figures representing the two sides of the Meuse: the 'Young River' and the 'Old River'. The first being materialized by a young face and the second by an old face. It is on this second ornament that the new Hoblitus collection is based: 'Vieux Fleuve'
Carrying Hoblitus means taking over part of this bridge. It’s a way of paying homage to him, of making him shine again .
