• Set design - Friesland carpet

    At the Rabobank in Heerenveen, a 10 floor high building, there obviously was a top floor. My client Anne Douwe Knobbe wanted a ‘place for philosophers’ on that spot and he pulled it off to get a free pass to experiment from the director. Anne Douwe asked me to design a 16 meters long carpet (produced in east Germany with 6 inks and transported to Heerenveen) and i made a map showing the connections between Heerenveen and places of influence. Note the ‘bell’ logo i also designed for ‘Frysian Quality’.

    The carpet was laid on the ground and stuck to the walls, and the dark part was for projections during speeches. The light part had a meeting table designed by Flat Architects.
