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 home with home studio, designed by W. van Hagen and J. Hurkmans. The unique style of the home, from a row of nine houses, each three stories high, is better known as the "Bossche School. Space and balanced proportions play an important role in this as does the use of materials such as wood, concrete and masonry.
After Iris and Ruben became the proud owners of this property early that year, they renovated, remodeled and designed a lot themselves, preserving the beautiful windows, voids, steel staircases and special architectural details. "A wonderful 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.
