We do many things, but our Bar Omar Expos are where everything seems to come together.

This weekend, we saw a lot of faces: happy, curious, enthusiastic, insecure, proud, overwhelmed, surprised, admiring, loving, tipsy, and even emotional.

Our expos are a way for us to share what inspires us and what we love. We always hope that enthusiasm is contagious—that by sharing it, it grows.

But we also hope for something else: that Bar Omar can be a place where new encounters happen, where humanity is present in all its forms, and where everyone feels welcome.

The Smiley was the starting point for this expo. It’s also the expression we saw most this weekend, and the one we’re wearing ourselves today: the smile.

The exhibition remains on view until October (Open on Sundays or by appointment) Many of the works have already found new homes, but if one of the faces speaks to you, feel free to get in touch.

HELP I don’t know which one to choose! Come pull a face and discover them all this Friday!

PULL A FACE — ANN RIKKERS
Vernissage
29/05 — 4–10 PM
31/05 — 10 AM–4 PM
On view until October ’26
Te Boelaerlei 69, 2140 Borgerhout

At Bar Omar, we show what moves us — what sparks, shifts, or opens new paths. Sometimes things don’t feel planned; they simply unfold. This exhibition grew exactly like that.

Eight years ago, a yellow smiley balloon announced Louisa’s birth. Since then, it keeps returning — a small sign that lingers.

A year ago, Ann created a small smiley tabouret. It was sold, yet never really gone — it instantly brought back a smile.

Because that’s what art should do.
It should move something.
A smile, a frown, curiosity, discomfort — something that makes your face respond.

Ann Rikkers didn’t plan ceramics; ceramics found her. What began by chance became her language: color, form, play. Her work is direct, energetic, fun and alive — an extension of her drawings, made tangible.

That’s the magic of Ann Rikkers. It makes you feel, it makes you “pull a face”.

How was your weekend? 🙂

When we’re in Portugal, weekends slow you down.🧘
Belgian weekends speed everything up. 💥
In Portugal, a weekend can disappear into coffee, sun, food, nothing urgent. Time stretches.
In Belgium, especially now, weekends become a mix of birthdays, art, family, festivals, work, too many plans — but somehow it works…?

Both feel good for opposite reasons.
The difficult part is switching between them without getting tired.

Next coming up: 🙂
Preparing PULL A FACE by ANN RIKKENS.

If you have the perfect chair, finding the perfect table is sometimes harder than expected.

Our standards were high: beautiful design, easy maintenance, outdoor proof, suitable for seaside living… the list kept growing.

But impossible? Apparently not.

Meet the ALU table — the winner of our search for “the one”.

Clean design, indoor & outdoor friendly and made to pair perfectly with our Tucurinca chairs, or the rest of the ALU family if you feel like mixing things up. ☀️
