During the summer months DesignMarkt takes place at the Rubens Square in Knokke-Heist which is recently renewed by artist Franz West. With sea view, 50 carefully selected dealers in vintage design and vintage designer clothing display it will be an attractive and unique selection.

The range covers both useful commodities as exclusive creations from the 20th century. For fashion lovers, timeless classic designer clothes from top vintage brands like Chanel, Dior & Courrèges will be offered.

Terraces on the dike, the unique location and the summer weather provide a comfortable atmosphere. Knokke-Heist is also the only city where all the shops open their doors on a sunday.
