Designing the SurfaceDesigning the Surface

On 13 July 2017 the last Thursday Night Live! before the summer break celebrated past activities of Het Nieuwe Instituut with a Cocktail Dînatoire for old and new friends. It was an inspirational summer evening that featured food, conversations with design studio OK-RM, Monadnock, live mural painting by artist Thomas Trum, pedalos in the pond, pop-in expo 100 years De Stijl stamps and music.

This evening brought together Rotterdam-based designer Chris Kabel, who conceived the exhibition Designing the Surface during his fellowship at Het Nieuwe Instituut, designer and digital artist Lucy Hardcastle, Jurrien Brouwer from Philips, and design critic Alice Rawsthorn.
