Antoine Callebaut colaborated with Jules Wabbes, for many years. He was called the ‘Man of steel’,
like Guillaume Van Achter was called the ‘ Man of wood’.

When Jules Wabbes died, Antoine Callebaut wanted to create his own business. At the moment he died, Viviane and André Vossen bought the ‘ Atelier Antoine Callebaut’. Later it would be integrated in Axis Seventy-One.

The architect André Jacqmain as well as the interior architect/designer Jan Vlug, and garden architect Jacques Wirtz (which many of his gardens are lighted by the Borne model) worked together with ‘Atelier Antoine Callebaut’.
