Victor Horta and the Frison House in Brussels

Nupur Tron

 19,90

In the middle of the Lebeaustraat in Brussels, sandwiched between neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic houses, stands an Art Nouveau jewel designed by Victor Horta: the Frison House. It was
commissioned by Maurice Frison, a lawyer and friend of the architect, and was built in 1894-1895. Horta designed not only the house, but also all its furniture and decoration, right down to the smallest detail: from door handles to marble fireplaces, from mosaic floors to elegant banisters, from wall lamps to the gratings for the cellar openings. The absolute eyecatcher is the winter garden, whose elegant design allows soft yellow light to flow subtly into its perfectly proportioned space.

Nupur Tron is the author of this book and owner of the house. In recent years, she has breathed new life back into Horta’s masterpiece. She pieced together bits of the old chandeliers she found in one of the cellars. She had items of furniture designed by Horta lovingly restored. With great passion, she continues to search for the funds that will allow her to restore the entire house to its former glory, one step at a time.

Horta and the Frison House in Brussels is an ode to the architect and his creation.

Nupur Tron is from India. She studied Design, Marketing & Merchandising and Fine Arts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She designs jewellery, in which the different styles of east and west meet in harmony.

    De keunst as útwei

    Wat makke dat Simke Kloosterman keas foar in bestean as skriuwster, en dan ek noch yn it Frysk? Wat feroarsake de mankelike toan, dy’t ek yn it wurk fan har heit Jan Ritskes werom te finen is? En hokker rol spile har ferloving en lettere freonskip mei Douwe Kalma? Philippus Breuker besiket yn dizze biografy har langsten en lotgefallen yn libben en wurk te ûntriedseljen.
    Simke hat mei har keunst in útwei út de ellinde fan har jonge jierren fûn, mar sykte en twivel oan de wearde fan dy keunst hawwe har letter it betreklike fan har stribjen fiele litten. Dochs is de Fryske literatuer net sûnder har te tinken. Mannich boek fan har hat noch altyd syn leafhawwers.

    Philippus Breuker (1939) publisearret oer skiednis, taal en literatuer fan Fryslân. Earder ferskynde fan syn hân De Gouden Iuw yn Boazum en Fryslân yn de Gouden Iuw.
