Interior adviser Carmen Tonen and art historian Karl Stimm represent the Akanthos store, which has been located in Antwerp since 1988. Here you’ll find Mid-century Modern design objects in their original beautiful state as well as historical artefacts from the Roman and Egyptian period. For 33 years Akanthos has sought out collectors who love to give objects a second life and place them in a contemporary context. It's the gallery’s mission to find items their clients love to fill their home and office. Akanthos picks brands and designers whether they are well known or not. What is important is the compelling stories behind the items - their history, the way they have been handcrafted with care, created with meaning and whether they share the gallery’s passion for sustainable quality and value.
