  2. The meaning of the photograph of mother with new-born child was clear to everyone. The rebus was less obvious: the noose represents Ghent, the hand Antwerp.

  3. The facade was altered to look like an English bookshop and painted a greeny-brown colour.

In 1996 we took Copyright to Antwerp. We found a location in Haarstraat, in the historic centre close to the Grote Markt. Architect Vincent Van Duysen converted two little houses into a small bookshop. To our pride and joy, several Belgian and foreign architecture and design magazines featured the design for its simplicity, functionality and attractiveness.
