Tête-à-Tête design

Working students taking a Professional Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design in Open Higher Education at Thomas More University of Applied Sciences in Mechelen (Belgium) are exhibiting their work in the Dutch Design Week 2023. “Although this is the fourth time we have participated in the Dutch Design Week, it is still an honour to be here. This year we are exhibiting tables designed by third-year students,” explains the course lecturer Wim Valvekens. “They were given the assignment of working on the theme of ‘reflection’. Their interpretations are both literal and figurative, resulting in a highly diverse body of work. The items of furniture were constructed on the basis of a specific concept, and designed and created individually by the students. Each object has its own story and character. We are also exhibiting a series of conceptual knives by fourth-year students. Their assignment was to design a ‘knife’ in the broadest sense of the term.”
