Open Field

The Open Field emerged as an idea formed by a collective of alumni of the Interior Architecture and Furniture Design Department 2018 at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague. It serves as an introduction platform where each designer, besides their own work, introduces their qualities and fascinations to the public. The collective does not necessarily speak with one voice, nor works as a collective challenging one unifying topic, however it respects and engages with each other’s otherness. Hence the meaning of the open field.

The collective comprises of Interior Architecture & Furniture Design alumni Rachel Borovska, Kornelija Chaleckyte, Daniel Kuiper, Anastasia Izotova, Konstantin Maksimov, Bagdat Sert, Maarten Slog, Manon Stoeltie, Luuk Wezenberg, who will present the exhibition Open Field under the supervision of Tatjana Quax (Studio Aandacht).

Location: De Kantine, Campina

DDW 2018 campaign

Alumna KABK Graphic Design Jamie de Rooij was part of this year's DDW design campaign team. She translated the theme ‘If not us, then who?’ into a concept that refers to the butterfly effect; one small act can have a big impact in the future.

With this idea in mind, she developed a concept that is a call for action, plus a message people could relate to.
