Antwerp Is Europe's Effortlessly Cool Design Destination

"For design-led visitors, unique shopping experiences are central to Antwerp’s allure. Last summer, jewelry brand Elliot & Ostrich, endorsed by Belgian celebrity stylist Tom Eerebout, debuted a stunning showroom called The Nest. Open by appointment, this cocooning space was designed with African-inspired decor—Botswana-born founder Jennifer Elliot follows the ubuntu philosophy of “I am because we are.” Here, in the world diamond capital of Antwerp, clients are guided on an introspective journey to create a custom heirloom based on important life milestones."
