910f8cbe-fd2c-11e3-be35-4b6cb1e1fd8f_originalFortis / ABN-AMRO asked Rotor vzw-asbl to coordinate an ambitious salvaging operation during the demolition of their headquarter in Brussels. They’re tasked to organise the dismantling of the interiors by the notorious Belgian designers Jules Wabbes and Gevers. Part of the materials will be archived or reused by the bank itself, for other (more bulky) materials such as this staircase we are in charge of looking for a proper destination.
