The installation will be on view from October 2025.
At the corner of Rue Marguerite de Brabant and Rue Giselbert, on the site of the residential real estate project 1276 Brabant by IKO.
IKO Real Estate, a creator of exceptional living spaces in Luxembourg, expresses its commitment to comfort, beauty, and refinement through a vision of real estate in which art plays a central role. In this spirit, a partnership has been initiated with Luxembourg Art Week on the occasion of the launch of Maison Marguerite, one of the flagship residences of the 1276 Brabant project, located in Merl. The goal is to establish a dialogue between architecture and contemporary creation from the construction phase onwards, offering a first aesthetic and sensory experience in line with the project’s values.
An exclusive artwork to reveal the project’s identity
Luxembourgish artist Franck Miltgen, renowned for his work with light, matter, and trace, has been invited to create a unique work, Marguerite, conceived specifically for this location. Temporarily installed on the construction site, this artwork marks the first steps of Maison Marguerite.
“Marguerite, both a woman’s name and the name of a flower, weaves together several layers of meaning. The work connects a personal memory to a specific place, to the history of a name—that of Marguerite of Brabant."
On this site, marked by the past, on this recomposed ground, the daisy began to grow among other pioneering species. Its geometry, at once modest and cosmic, follows the 8/13 ratio of the Fibonacci sequence and here becomes the foundation of a paving, like a mosaic weaving a link between earth and sky, between raw matter and mathematical language.
The work unfolds in two stages: a first imprint, created from plants collected on site with their roots, stems, and leaves; followed by a second image, also taken on site, drawn from mechanical traces. This layering binds opposites: the popular gesture of spray-stencil and the scholarly abstraction of sacred geometry. Just as the flower connects the earth to the cosmos, this paving articulates rootedness and elevation, intimate memory and the public space to come, the raw and the refined.” – Franck Miltgen
A dialogue between art, architecture, and lifestyle
More than a simple artistic gesture, this work establishes a strong resonance with the DNA of 1276 Brabant: a discreet residential project, with pure lines and noble materials, designed to endure and to offer comfort without ostentation. Franck Miltgen’s intervention embodies this vision: a sober, sculptural, and refined aesthetic that echoes the precision of detail, the strength of volumes, and the demanding spirit of the place.
