Vivid Centre for Design Presents Wieki Somers

Vivid Centre for Design Presents Wieki Somers
Wieki Somers belongs to the second generation of Dutch designers who have gained international recognition for their products.

Whereas Dutch design for many years was focussed primarily on the power of concepts, this generation is at least aware of the necessity and importance of aesthetics as well.

VIVID therefor gladly shows a first overview of Somers' work.

In the VIVID exhibition space Somers shows not only the products and objects she designed in these past years, the visitor is drawn into a total experience, designed by the designer.

For the time being the space is transformed into a neutral living-room, who could be anyone's, with windows overlooking an illusory outside world.

This living-room seems to be under construction.

Almost all furniture items are covered with a white veil, except for the products of Somers which can be viewed unveiled.

The visitor can imagine himself to be a guest in a living-room like the one he has at home, while slowly discovering the dreamworld of Somers.

Because a living-room is not only the special domain for objects but also the center for social encounters, the guests are also welcomed during some special events.
