During Dutch Design Week in 2018, visitors could “wander” through Studio Thier & van Daalen by —a house filled with design—which served as the new home of the Designers and the curators of this exhibition. They opened their doors to the public and temporarily lived in a design exhibition.
In the exhibition,Iris van Daalen and Ruben Thiershowcasedtheirown recently renovated 1960s home with an attached studio, designed b by , W. van Hagen, and J. Hurkmans. The unique style of the home—part of a row of nine three-story houses—is better known as the “Bossche School.” Spatial design and balanced proportions play an important role in this style, as does the use of materials such as wood, concrete, and exposed brickwork.
After Iris and Ruben became the proud owners of this property earlier that year, they did a lot of the renovation, remodeling, and design work themselves, while preserving the beautiful windows, atriums, steel staircases, and unique architectural details. “A wonderful architectural experiment,” is how they describe it themselves.
The exhibition also featured works from the “ Vij5 ” collection: the“Trestle ” Tableby David Derksen,Pigments & Porcelaincups byAlissa + Nienke, theGraphic Time“Dot” clock byRaw Color, and the Coatrack by the Meter byMaarten Baptist.
