The exhibit presents everything from furniture and tabletop objects to jewelry by 23 emerging Dutch designers and manufacturers and 1 photographer. Curated by Studio Jan Habraken and Alissia Melka-Teichroew in collaboration with Wabnitz Editions Ltd and Josée Lepage, the work draws an outline of contemporary design coming out of, and shaped by, the unique climate of the densely populated Netherlands, whose designers grow up below sea level and under heavy gray skies.
This video features talks with Alissia, Greetje van Helmond, Rob van Gijzel and Lucas Maassen. With works of Miriam van der Lubbe, Ilona Huvenaars, Willem derks, Frederik Roije, Anouk Omlo, Alexander Pelikan, Lara de Greef, Maarten Baptist, Dave Keune, Lotte van Laatum, Laurens van Wieringen and Jan Habraken.
