During Dutch Design Week in 2018, you could ‘wander’ through a house full of design at Studio Thier & van Daalen; the new home of the Designers and curators of this exhibition. They opened their doors to the public and temporarily lived in a design exhibition.
With the expo, Iris van Daalen and Ruben Thier showed their own recently renovated 1960s house with studio, designed by W. van Hagen and J. Hurkmans. The unique style of the house, from a row of nine houses each three stories high, is better known as the ‘Bossche School’. Spatial effect and balanced proportions play an important role in this, as does the use of materials such as wood, concrete and brickwork.
After Iris and Ruben became the proud owners of this building at the beginning of that year, they renovated, rebuilt and designed a lot themselves, while retaining the beautiful windows, voids, steel stairs and special architectural details. ‘A beautiful architectural experiment’, they call it themselves.
The expo also featured work from the Vij5 collection: the Trestle Table by David Derksen, Pigments & Porcelain cups by Alissa + Nienke, Graphic Time clock ‘Dot’ by Raw Color and the Coatrack by the Meter by Maarten Baptist.
