Genre Domestique, a studio based in Antwerp, explores the domestic sphere through an aesthetic infused with absurd and Dada impulses.
The domestic is a theatre, where roles are blurred and the invisible is made visible. GD plays with domestic archetypes and subverts them. Objects, clothes and linens — each act on stage — go beyond their merely useful function.

GD opens its first act: Un repas de fête.

Collars and extra-long sleeves, fragments of a shirt that symbolizes adulthood, engage in dialogue with recurring bows, embodying childhood. At GD, the dad’s collar becomes a bib.

Worn to welcome guests or to embellish an outfit, each garment erases the lines between indoors and outdoors, childhood and adulthood, and gender roles. Curated objects — some too familiar to be noticed — become domestic relics in GD’s poetic world.

Genre Domestique navigates the domestic sphere with both joy and trauma — weaving together intimacy and social appearances, the visible and the hidden, softness and authority.
