The account of a unique journey through the fascinating North during which Jessy Van Durme and Piet Goethals combined their interests and strengths. Along the way they visited 18 contemporary designers (of furniture and everyday objects) who they selected based on the quality of their work and their vision - designers who deserve to step out of the shadows. Jessy and Piet visited workshops, houses and apartments and made personal portraits of the designers behind the product - their personalities, their sources of inspiration, their vision for design and heritage.
