Our favourite shop in Antwerp. Atelier Solarshop is a curated shop space, founded by menswear designer Jan-Jan Van Essche and Piëtro Celestina, based in Antwerp, offering a carefully selected, and constantly updated collection of well crafted contemporary works, harmoniously blended with timeless antiques and vintage.
This sight reminds me of the beginning of Antonioni's L'Avventura. In other words: again a confrontation with the majesty of nature. While standing here, I realize that water has no foundation to build on. I am overwhelmed: as human beings, we are forced to live our lives in uncertainty while facing the horizon of death.
We don't go to this place for the trendy interior, but for the amazing food. The no-nonsense approach is actually why we love it so much! This place just has the best Sichuan style Chinese food in Antwerp.
