OPEN ENDED - LIDEWIJ EDELKOORT
Lidewij Edelkoort exhibited a selection from her personal art and design collection at Kazerne, Eindhoven. An overview of dutch and international autonomous design from 1995 to 2015.
“Composed of work from the most important designers working round the turn of the century, many of them with links to the Netherlands, the collection shows how attitudes to design have changed and are coming of age. The evolution of design as an autonomous discipline is a focus point. The work of a number of local heroes is on display, alongside world-renowned talents, celebrating the creative spirit of the city of Eindhoven and representing a feather in the cap of education.”

ABOUT KAZERNE - HOME OF DESIGN
Designers imagine new ways of living (together). Their concepts, experiments and products concretely translate relevant societal ambitions, introduce new technologies in our world of experience and contribute to the quality of the private and public domain.
Based in former military barracks and adjacent industrial warehouse, Kazerne celebrates the impact of design by welcoming guests to eat, drink and sleep surrounded by recent works by world-class design talents. Renovated with great attention to its original beauty, the heritage has 2,000 square metres of exhibition space - with exhibitions changing every four months, that include eight luxury hotel rooms and lofts, several meeting rooms, a design shop and two restaurants. The industrial Bar/restaurant with Italian touch opened in 2014. The new fine-dining Restaurant Benz at Kazerne, with a Nordic touch, opened in 2019. Imagine a museum like platform, against a backdrop of monumental heritage, that has been transformed into a breathtaking hotel.
"This is where guests meet the local creative community. Here, in an inspiring environment, conversations about food and design take place naturally," explains initiator and Creative Director Annemoon Geurts. "Passionate makers find a springboard to new cross-sectoral networks and business opportunities, while a diverse audience can experience 24/7 in the inspiring hospitality surroundings how the creative industries add value to the world in which we live in."
