Maison Optician / Huize Opticien

About this location

The living room at Maison Opticien is frozen in a slow collapse, its peeling wallpaper and worn-out furniture softened only by the dusty glow of a chandelier still hanging overhead. An intricately carved wooden cabinet stands rotting against the wall, its damaged face a stark contrast to the faded landscape painting that watches over the decay from above. In another corner, a grey metal filing cabinet has been pried open, its upper shelves sagging under the weight of forgotten folders while the parquet floor below collects scattered papers, a yellowed booklet, and even a black rubber inner tube. Every surface is buried under a layer of dust, and the whole place feels like a business that simply shut its doors one day and never came back.
