location

firma I is located in an industrial growing area in vilvoorde next to the famous channel. the bright spaces and hangar were freshened up whilst keeping the industrial character alive. with its convenient connection to highways and available parking spots firma I is easy accessible and serves as an ideal location. 

firma II is located in the city centre of brussels. a spacious floor in the large building was transformed into inspiring white and bright areas. with its broad windows and view on la bourse firma II radiates the historical and industrial character of the big city and serves as the perfect location.

design

every firma location carries something unique and non-ordinary. we want your visit to firma to be an exclusive & memorable experience, whilst still leaving you with a feeling of familiarity and intimacy.

firma and cantine founder Anne, has a career as an interior and furniture designer. she works internationally with her company Baroness O. as a curator and set designer, this for different organizations and museums. 

the team is trained to make all locations look spotless and intact. an eye for detail and communication both in general and towards storytelling, is key at firma.

the concept and design of each location is always thought out carefully and elaborated in detail. the architecture at firma must work as a base for inspiration to every visitor, where he/she is able to create and work productively. 

coffee & food

cantine is our very own in-house lunchbar and catering company. our chefs serve a balanced, vegetarian menu full of healthy treats, different flavours and dishes, to enjoy a bit(e) of everything.

next to preparing daily brainfood - think hearty plates, uplifting cappuccino’s and fika as it should be - we know how to cater a party and host fancy dinners. 

we strongly believe there is no need to harm animals to serve you a delicious meal so our own kitchen is exclusively vegetarian.

how it all started

the firma story started in 2015. Anne founded firma and turned an industrial building in vilvoorde, next to the famous channel, into a versatile space, dedicated to creating and making. she got inspired whilst studying abroad in sweden. the experience of meeting and uniting with other designers made her dream of her own concept where young creators join a space together, feel inspired and form communities. 

later, she still missed a place to welcome people and make the step to creativity and imagination a bit smoother. after looking for a bridge that was able to bring people together, whilst complementing the strong vision of firma, cantine was born in 2016. 

and then came 2019, the year when firma ii brussels was founded. Anne saw an opportunity to open a second affiliate of her co-working and event space with in-house lunchbar. a spacious floor in the former actiris building was transformed into inspiring white and bright areas. with its broad windows and view on la bourse firma ii radiates the historical and industrial character of the big city. 

firma is always driven by the industrial building itself, where simplicity and non ordinary meet.

at the moment, we’re all working in uncertain, often stressful times.
that is why firma’s goal stays solid: creating small communities whilst inspiring and motivating young creators, designers and entrepreneurs.

we hope you want to be part of our story, by being a steady firma member to renting a desk for half a day, or by simply passing by and getting a glimpse of our co-working space.
