The creations of taxidermist Anne Orlowska in Ixelles, Belgium
Anne Orlowska gives nature lovers a chance to see animals up close at her taxidermy shop in Ixelles, located just a stone’s throw from downtown Brussels.
After its success in Paris on 4 Rue d’Aboukir, Design & Nature decided to open another shop in Ixelles in the suburbs of Brussels. This unique store, whose founder has always been fascinated with the beauty and richness of the natural world, is specialised in creating incredibly realistic taxidermy mounts of everything from insects to large mammals and designing plant- and mineral-themed decor.

All the species present in the shop are grouped and displayed like poetic works of art. Visitors are greeted by amazing sights as soon as they step through the door. The many animals on display reflect the founder’s passion for her work and offer endless inspiration to taxidermy enthusiasts. The store is home to extraordinary collections that are far from anything on display in a simple cabinet of curiosities.
