The system is now upgraded with a chain. The color coordination of chain and cones gain visibility. The cones are pierced […] more…

Unscootered stand
Recently these two bikes have appeared, parked in a somewhat a-typical manner, in the Rue Pierre Victor Jacobs, Molenbeek. Often, bikes that are left outside in the street in the city are chained to something solid, a sign pole, a rain tube, to protect them from being displaced or stolen, but here they are parked […] more…

Stick it up
A common problem: how to exit ones driveway without hitting those pesky big stones which are protecting the corners of your garden? A simple solution: install a marker that is high enough to be seen from inside the car. This one on Avenue Charles Woeste is elegant and efficient at the same time. Box with […] more…
Box with visibility pole
Rue Léopold 1, Laeken At the edge of a parking place, this box with sprouting seeds has been placed. Because it is so low, car drivers will not see it; the solution here is the pin with reflector strips and blingy textiles that is stuck in the corner of the box. Stick it up more…

Don’t crash my green spot
Rue Vandenbogaerde, 1080 Molenbeek Bad parking often means a sudden death to many improvised green corners in the area.

Because the cord with which it is […] more…
