The museum complex comprises an 18th-century mansion and a modern wing, holding a collection of Belgian design, supported by international objects. The museum applies a broad definition of design, based on criteria such as contemporaneity, innovation, ergonomics, durability, and aesthetic relevance. The collection has evolved from 17th and 18th-century applied arts towards modern and contemporary design from 1860 to the present
