An intriguing terrace house, eight Dutch designers: Enlightened Design presents an intimate exhibition that
explores light, time and lightness.
Time takes a leap of almost three centuries: in an authentic Georgian house, eight Dutch designers will exhibit their most recent work.
Designers include Jolanda van Goor, Bo Reudler, Morgan Ruben, Femke van Gemert and Maarten Olden. Natural materials, repurposed techniques and imperfection are some of the themes covered in their work.
