The exhibition ‘Living in the Amsterdam School’ focuses on the interior design of this expressive, influential movement at the start of the twentieth century.
Visitors can get filled with wonder through the sculptural lines, the colourful palette and intricate patterns, shown in the over 500 objects on display, like furniture, lamps, ceramics, textiles and stained glass. We created an engaging environment for this collection through a graphical setting of extremely enlarged details on the walls; blow-ups, which surround the visitor and emphasize the exceptional form language of the Amsterdam School.
Interior design 1910-1930
Following previous successful collaborations on the exhibitions Designs for children (2002) and Kramer vs Rietveld (2004) we had been invited by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam to design the new temporary exhibition Living in the Amsterdam School. Designing for the interior 1910-1930. An immersion in details, shapes and craft, particular for this movement in the Netherlands.
