curatorship

With our way of looking at our materialized world we are able to question societies' changing roles.
We are well aware of the latest trends in design and technology and have experience in how to visualize ongoing new developments to different exhibition audiences. You will find here the exhibitions we have curated in assignment.

designing circularity

This exhibition brings together inspiring circular design examples from The Netherlands and Hong Kong that show how – right now–designers, architects and entrepreneurs are making the circular economy a reality. By rethinking how we make and use the Built environment, Fashion apparel and Everyday goods. For an economy that produces zero waste and zero carbon, which uses renewable materials, reuses non-renewable materials and keeps them in use as long as possible.
