About the speaker
Frederic Rozier is a well-known authority in Belgium when it comes to design.
As a true design expert, Frederic runs Rozier Gallery / Design 7, the largest vintage gallery in Belgium, and is the organizer and driving force behind the popular vintage design fair DesignMarkt. He is also co-organizer of MDM / March Design Month, an initiative aiming to bring forward the vast potential of Ghent in fashion, textile and design. He has co-founded ArchitectenWoning, a real estate agency focusing on modernist buildings with architectural added value. As a recognized figure in the design world, he often has media appearances related to his expert opinion, including in the new series of the VTM ‘Rijker dan je denkt?’('Richer than you think? ‘)
But Frederic is not only passionate for design, he also wants to keep Belgian vintage design alive.

Through these pieces, Rozier hopes to bring Belgian design in the spotlight, here in Belgium, as well on the world stage.
