Since their training, the two men had developed a keen interest in industrial design, which had led to them being appointed to oversee the Industrial Design exhibition at the Li\u00e8ge Fair in 1956. That exhibition had turned Charles Vandenhove\u2019s life on its head when he met Jeanne, his future wife, who was then working as a secretary at the Fair. It was on the strength of this highly acclaimed contribution that the two architects were warmly recommended to be the architects for the 11th Milan Triennale. The exhibition space, a quarter-circle, is organised into different sections. The architects establish links between architecture and natural forms. As Lucien Kroll points out: \u2018To analyse the fundamental principles of architecture or industrial design, one must show that form is merely the outward manifestation of an internal and external organisation, and first and foremost present the forms found in nature. \u2019 X-rays of a flower and its stems by Kessel thus accompany a selection of objects such as furniture by Jules Wabbes, designs by Pierre Caille and Val Saint-Lambert, and Olivier Strebelle\u2019s sculpture of the Bayard Horse. Another highlight of the exhibition is the column that the architect first installed in Eupen, then reproduced for the Li\u00e8ge exhibition, and which now features once again in Milan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":342,"template":"","collection_type":[31],"class_list":["post-8783","collection","type-collection","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","collection_type-archives-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Milan Triennale - Fondation Jeanne Charles Vandenhove<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/fondationvandenhove.be\/en\/collection\/triennale-de-milan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Milan Triennale - Fondation Jeanne Charles Vandenhove\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Charles Vandenhove and Lucien Kroll\u2019s participation in the 11the Milan Triennale marked the last collaboration between the two architects.
