The “cold storage” project – initially suggested by Hilke Arijs – emerged again and made it possible to evaluate the measures and actions previously taken during the “SOS Negatives” campaign and in everyday collection management. 77An awareness today of the significance of the KIK-IRPA’s interior and its acknowledged value as a historic ensemble has led to a change in perspectives. Since 2007, the building and a part of the interior have a protected status. The KIK-IRPA’s interior is divided into several sub-collections such as, for instance, a collection of chairs, a collection considered as a total design for one specific room, or a collection of artworks still displayed as foreseen in the building. To maintain and to conserve this whole collection that is still in use, it was essential to set up a collection plan.
The building was conceived by modernist architect Charles Rimanque, while the interior was designed by the leading designers and companies of post-war Belgium. Interior designer Stéphane Jasinski and his Atelier, renowned for their stylish and high standard contemporary interiors, created a design implementing a progressive vision on the American inspired so-called Corporate Design culture. The Ateliers Jasinski were responsible for the institute’s public spaces, and especially the boardroom and director’s office [fig. The iconic furniture manufacturer Kortrijkse Kunstwerkstede Gebroers De Coene completed the interior. Until the early 1980s, the furniture was maintained annually with special treatments for different leathers, lacquers and woods.

Even so, in any particular project, strict adherence to the framework may potentially prove insufficient, notably because of the significant difference between sudden and slow agents and the importance of the human factor. Once the risks are identified, they must be analysed through a risk management approach in order to identify the preservation priorities in the project. This systematic procedure has been implemented in every project led by the Preventive Conservation Unit since its creation.
