PSLab among finalists Antwerp monument prize Erfgoedjuweel
We had to keep it silent for a while, but now we can finally let you know the news: the Antwerp PSLab office is chosen among the five finalists of the Erfgoedjuweel, the urban monument prize granted by the city of Antwerp.
The originally Lebanese PSLab is a renowned name in the lighting industry. They chose a historic warehouse as their Antwerp base, which was renovated by B-bis architecten. Today, the earthy colours of the modern studio bathe in subtle dim light, highlighting PSLab's expertise as a lighting designer upon entering the building.

Open Monumentendag
Following our nomination, we will take part in Open Monumentendag on Sunday 10 September and give you the chance to discover this unique renovation project.
The PSLab studio at the Antwerp South will be free to visit between 12 and 5 pm. There will be five moments where Dirk Engelen of B-bis and Kurt Bruggeman of PSLab will explain the history of this former warehouse and how it was transformed into the spherical studio it is today.

At the end of September, we will find out who gets to take home the grand prize. Fingers crossed!
