Artifort had the honor of giving the Beso chair family a central role in the dining and meeting area of the city hall in Ghent. This space serves as the beating heart of the building, bringing employees and visitors together in an inspiring environment. The Beso chairs — including the Beso chair , Beso Lounge and Beso barstools — bring a distinctive character to the space with its elegant, comfortable, and timeless design.

The vibrant colours used on the Beso designs bring energy and personality to the space. They stand out beautifully against the neutral tones of the surrounding interior, creating a balanced environment. The interior design, by architect Dieter Veys, perfectly complements the dynamic interplay between form and function, resulting in a space that seamlessly blends hospitality, creativity and practicality. The transformation was carried out with a strong focus on human-centered design, resulting in an inclusive and accessible space.
