| Christian Salez appointed as the new CEO of Bulo Mechelen, 04/10/2012. Starting this autumn, Christian Salez will be the new CEO/administrateur délégué of Bulo. Since its establishment – 50 years ago in 2013 – the luxury furniture manufacturer from Mechelen/ Belgium has grown into an important player on the international office furniture market. In the last few years Bulo also started selling home furniture, with new editions of designs by Jules Wabbes. The company has also collaborated so far with designers like Ibens-Bataille, Ann Demeulemeester, Vincent Van Duysen and Jean Nouvel. “To further develop and consolidate this growth for the third generation of the owners' family , we decided we needed help”, explains Dirk Busschop, owner of Bulo together with his wife. “Christian and I have known each other for a long time. We trust and appreciate each other, and based on this we decided to work together to develop our plans for the future and add a new important chapter in the history of our company”. Until recently, 46-year-old Christian Salez was the CEO at Delvaux, the Belgian luxury house that he led for several years. He is also a non-executive director in Belgian companies, member of the board of the VBO (Belgian Entrepreneurs Association) and is co-founder of the Fashion Museum Foundation in Antwerp.

| PROJECT: | 320 grID work stations at AD Rotterdam |
   |
Bulo have designed the new layout for the editorial offices of AD, Algemeen Dagblad, one of the largest Dutch newspapers, comprising 350 workstations of our new collection grID on the 10th, 11th and 12th floor of the impressive Central Post building in the heart of Rotterdam. Central Post - an early 1950s design by the Kraaijvanger brothers - is a rational, functional building with a timeless façade, subtle details and plenty of natural light. The formality of the exterior is reflected in the interior. Serene white desks promote concentration. Black objects form isolated spaces where journalists can confer and work on their stories undisturbed in this buzzing environment. grID - referring to a set pattern and rhythm - forms the link between the building, the newspaper and the furniture. Each individual desk is height adjustable (either electronically or manually), even within a cluster. A tremendous flexibility! |
