Humans since 1982 are interested in interest itself. Their claim is to arouse curiosity by creating material hints of how the world might be.  Both born in 1982, Per Emanuelsson (Sweden) and Bastian Bischoff (Germany) founded their studio in 2008 during their Master graduation at the School of Design and Crafts (HDK) Gothenburg. Humans since 1982 | Lövholmsgränd 12, 117 43 Stockholm , SwedenWith the wood collection DALSGAARD, a tribute to the Danish football player Henrik Dalsgaard, lighting manufacturer TAL takes its inspiration directly from nature. DALSGAARD is a natural ensemble, born from the bark of a solid oak tree. The lighting fixtures reflect the organic shapes of nature and the wood, with its fascinating veins, seems to embrace the light. That same light, in turn, brings the wood to life. DALSGAARD is a truly warm collection that stimulates all senses. The absolute highlight from the collection is no doubt VIENNA, a bare chandelier based on the original design of Austrian architect, Adolf Loos.

By using wood, TAL lifts this stately chandelier to a higher level. VIENNA is a real eye-catcher with a classic design. The series also includes a number of lighting fixtures that can be both suspended or ceiling and wall mounted. All lighting fixtures share the same round, natural shape and state-of-the-art technique. FABIAN, for instance, is equipped with LED technology and a matte diffuser that ensures that the light is evenly and beautifully distributed without compromising on efficiency. JAMES is a beautiful, organically shaped fixture, equipped with an elegant, cymbal-shaped reflector. The reflector is available in textured white, copper and brass. The latter finishing is new within TAL and proves to be very effective in combination with the warm wood. The light of the integrated LED module is draped over the reflector, which results in an unsurpassed interaction between pure materials. ROBAN is another lighting fixture from this collection that creates a perceptible and optically convincing experience.

Like FABIAN, ROBAN is a classic in the TAL product range that is eminently suited for a wood finishing. ROBAN has the same reflector as JAMES but is fitted with an E27 socket. Mount a beautiful designer bulb in this very particular lamp cap and the picture is complete. In short, the wood collection from TAL presents the true beauty of nature in a bright light.

Or, perhaps more importantly, did you know that a serpent chandelier is a tuba-esque wind instrument? It's surprising encounters like these that make exploring Brussels’ Musical Instruments Museum such a wondrous affair, but it’s the institution’s dense audio guide that makes it an incredibly well-rounded experience. At five stories tall and home to over 8,000 instruments, there’s a tremendous amount to see. Upon entering the first of the two buildings MIM encompasses (the entrance is in the former Old England department store—an Art Nouveau gem designed in 1899 by Paul Saintenoy—while the back half is in Gilles-Barnabé Guimard’s 1774 Neo-Classical structure), visitors are handed a pair of headphones and a digital docent to accompany them on a self-directed tour.

Unlike other museums where the audio guide is a supplemental asset, here it’s the key to unlocking professionally recorded examples of thousands of musical instruments. MIM is such a globally important archive: there are pieces from all over the world representing each of the five families of instruments: idiophones, aerophones, chordophones, membranophones and electrophones. Some are of historical significance, like the shoulder harp, which originated during the reign of Thutmose III circa 1500 BC, or valve-master Adolphe Sax’s alto saxophone, which the Belgian patented in 1846. (MIM also houses Sax’s trombone with six independent valves and seven bells.) Or the glass harmonica, developed by Benjamin Franklin in 1762. Then there are instruments that demonstrate sheer imagination (including the aforementioned serpent), such as the Flemish knaptand, a dog costume in which the animal's jaw acts as a musical clapper. Or the Norwegian hardingfele—a bewitching violin-like instrument from the 1800s—which is considered “incomplete” if not extravagantly decorated, and gave off a sound that was thought to evoke the spirits of fairies and trolls in the forest.

Many of the display cases on the first floor feature three to five related instruments, but there are also sections dedicated to numerous variations on one type, like 60 styles of bagpipes and 100 kinds of accordions, while other areas are devoted to the different instruments coming from one continent, like Asia. The surplus of examples are organized methodically by the museum, but for amateurs, might seem slightly arbitrary. That’s again where the audio guide keeps it interesting; instead of feeling overwhelmed by the volume of it all, visitors slowly meander through, listening to the sounds of instruments that visually pique their interest. This additional layer of information makes for a more enlivening sensory experience. Take the glass elevator up to the second floor for an exhibition of devices influenced Western classical music, but make sure not to miss the basement level where there's Dietrich Nikolaus Winkel’s noteworthy componium, a “masterpiece among mechanical instruments.”

The ingenious 1821 invention not only reproduces music, but also composes it via two cylinders that play aleatoric variations on the theme first heard. The fourth floor contains an impressive display of harpsichords, pianos and keyboards, including the rare Geigenwerk (1625), which uses the uncommon combination of strings and keys to create sound. Today’s DJs will also appreciate this level, as it’s where to see a Big Briar theremin or check out the Ondes Martenot, which—developed in 1928—is one of the world’s oldest electronic musical instruments. While MIM offers an unparalleled survey of musical artifacts, it also boasts a 360-degree view of Brussels from its rooftop restaurant. You can even keep your audio guide with you for extensive listens of all those antiquated deep cuts. The Musical Instruments Museum is located at Rue Montagne de la Cour 2, 1000 Bruxelles, Belgium.
