Impressed by the design of a jewellery shop in the centre of Bruges, none other than Sergio Herman contacted the designer. Lieven Musschoot drew the distinctive design of Pure C and the interior of Oud Sluis, and closer to home he also designed the interior for several leading restaurants such as Restaurant Lieven, Barsalon Rock-Fort, Tête Pressée, Escabèche (Knokke),… And in 2012 the order book is already well-filled with three restaurants, a disco, two flats, two houses and a dentist’s practice planned.
