Les Carrières du Hainaut set itself the challenge of taking bluestone out of the world of construction. We asked ourselves: What is the most distinctive thing about bluestone? This gave rise to the idea of a collaboration with a big name in fashion.

Les Carrières du Hainaut has teamed up with an internationally renowned personality from the world of fashion. Imaginative to a fault, she likes to make associations with other universes and other materials in order to apply her know-how in new ways but always with refinement.

Innovation and audacity are the key words of the crazy project led by Carrières du Hainaut. Reinterpreting the blue stone of Hainaut and giving it a touch of femininity and sensuality through the stand for the Xpo Interior Biennial in Courtrai. Haute Couture designer Fabienne Delvigne, as the person best able to understand materials and elegance, took up this challenge.

The realisation of the stand imagined by Fabienne Delvigne is synonymous with technical challenge and technological audacity. The representation of the blue stone in curves and counter-curves is a meticulous, made-to-measure work, carried out by passionate and highly experienced cutters.
