History
Base was founded in 1993 in Brussels by Thierry Brunfaut, Juliette Cavenaile, and Dimitri Jeurissen. This was followed by a second branch opening in 1997 by designer Marc Paneroin in Barcelona, a third in New York City by Geoff Cook, a fourth in Madrid, and a fifth in Santiago, Chile (in 2005 and 2009 respectively).
From late 2001 to 2003, Base designed and produced BEople, “a magazine about a certain Belgium.”.[2] In 2005 Base invested in global book-distribution company ACTAR, to form a publishing company. The first book from BasePublishing was a monograph of artist [[Ann Veronica Janssens entitled "Are You Experienced?" ,[3][4] and was released in 2009. In 2007, Base partnered to open BozarShop ,[5] the museum store at the Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels.
