Bye Bye Antwerp!

01/06/2024

After 28 years running Copyright Bookshop in Antwerp, we’ve decided to focus on Copyright Ghent and our webshop. We look back fondly on our six years in Haarstraat and 22 years in Nationalestraat. At both locations, we commissioned architect Vincent Van Duysen to design the store. The shop, located in front of the Momu Fashion Museum, was a true showpiece. We rented this space completely shell-out in 2000; the only remaining was a broken concrete floor. Van Duysen designed a bookshop for us with metropolitan flair and mezzanines, and we gave him the opportunity to use the famous Spanish, brown-marbled Emparador marble for the floor and built-in furniture for the first time in Belgium. We entrusted the design to the Fashion Museum entirely free of charge!
