Pierre Demesmaeker’s Honors:

Interesting Newsflash (September 2008):

Ever heard of Superfly (De Supervlieg) ? This is all about a project from Cultuurnet Vlaanderen, creating cultural awareness amongst kids. The designers we work with - Concrete (from Antwerp) won this contest and had us manufacture the 'Vliegen'. Although not our main focus - virtual manufacturer of electronics - we gladly accepted and here's the result : www.supervlieg.be (take a look at the tab 'Supervlieg in de pers'). A low profit project but definitely fun to do.
