INTERSTICES
An exhibition exploring how designers with hybrid and transnational identities are reshaping contemporary collectible design. Bringing together an international selection of practices operating across cultures, the exhibition examined how personal histories, heritage, migration, and lived experience inform objects that move beyond function to become carriers of narrative, memory, and cultural expression. Positioned at the intersection of design, identity, and belonging, INTERSTICES highlighted emerging perspectives that challenge conventional readings of contemporary design. Featuring works by: dach&zephir (FR), Ciro Duclos (NL), Alan Hernández (MX), Marcos Kueh (MY) × Ritvik Khushu (IND) × Funda Baysal (TR), Jirah Joshua × Sibling Studios (US/UK), Kalo Rakoto (BE), SaI.E STUDIO (KR), and Giles Tettey Nartey (UK).
DUTCH VACATION
An exhibition examining contemporary notions of Dutch design and the evolving identity of the Dutch designer. Bringing together established figures including Richard Hutten, Joep van Lieshout, Sabine Marcelis, and Laurids Gallée alongside emerging graduates and long-term Netherlands-based practitioners, the exhibition questioned national identity as a fixed category. Through a dialogue between generations, backgrounds, and practices, DUTCH VACATION explored how Dutch design continues to be shaped by migration, international exchange, and changing cultural perspectives.
