2 more days to go at Dutch Design Week | DDW 🧡 Thank you to everyone who has visited us so far.

Kunstsilo kulen began as a hands-on, modular DIY system for the opening of the Kunstsilo museum in Norway. Since then, cultural institutions and events around the world have recreated it, including Casula Powerhouse (Australia), THEMUSEUM (Canada), Zuidparktheater and Betovering Festival (Netherlands), and ARoS Aarhus Art Museum (Denmark).
What stays with me each time is that visitors don’t just look, they build.

It also feels like a full circle to show it here. The materials come from our long-standing partner Labro Verpakkingen Eindhoven Kortom Karton, with raw material from Smurfit Westrock Kappa, which we can see from our window in the exhibition space. Local material, local making, local partners.
If you are working on an exhibition, family programme, or event, I’d love to talk about how a hands-on installation could work for your visitors.

Come play, touch, and talk with us at Forward Furniture, open daily until 25 October.

Look up. 👀

This is Kunstsilo - kulen from the inside: a stack of metallic cardboard modules in an autumnal palette, glowing against the concrete above.

Kunstsilo-kulen is a hands-on, modular DIY system we developed for the newly opened Kunstsilo museum. It has since been recreated by cultural institutions and events worldwide, including Casula Powerhouse (Australia), THEMUSEUM (Canada), Zuidparktheater and Betovering Festival (Netherlands), and ARoS Aarhus Art Museum (Denmark).

Why it works for audiences: visitors don’t just look, they build. The system is easy to assemble, scales to any space, and turns a visit into a shared experience.

Materials by our long-standing partner Labro Verpakkingen Eindhoven BV Kortom Karton, with raw material from Smurfit Westrock , whom we can see from our window in the exhibition space.

Working on an exhibition, family programme or event? We’d love to talk about how a hands-on installation could work for your visitors.

Come play, touch, and talk with us at Forward Furniture during Dutch Design Week. Open daily until October 25.

Third year in a row at Dutch Design Week | DDW , and it still feels like the first day of school 🍂
Our interactive exhibition at Forward Furniture is open daily until 25 October. Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend!
📍 Gebouw TX, 6th floor, Achtseweg Zuid 187, Eindhoven
🕚 Daily, 11:00 to 18:00
One detail we love: from our window, we look straight into Smurfit Westrock , where the raw material is made. Right next door, our long-standing partner Labro Verpakkingen Eindhoven Kortom Karton custom-made the materials for this installation in a rich autumnal metallic palette. Local material, local making, local partners 🧡
The installation was originally designed for the opening of the Kunstsilo museum. Since then it has been recreated for cultural institutions around the world, including Casula Powerhouse (NSW), THEMUSEUM (Ontario), and ARoS Aarhus Art Museum. Seeing it come back to Eindhoven, close to where the material originates, feels like a full circle moment.
We’re looking forward to engaging interactions and inspiring conversations at DDW 2026. Come play, touch, and talk with us!

It was a pleasure collaborating with the wonderful team at the MusĂ©e national d’histoire naturelle Luxembourg - natur musĂ©e on an interactive presentation in the Future Living Room, the final room of the exhibition celebrating 30 years of the Natural History Museum in the Grund!

The HEART-board pyramid will be open for visitors to explore and interact with tomorrow during Museum Night! And if you can’t make it tomorrow, you’ll have until mid-March 2027 to experience it.

Wishing the dedicated team many more years of research, remarkable collections, exciting discoveries, and inspiring stories!

Setting up a NEW HEART-board Pyramid today at the MusĂ©e national dhistoire naturelle Luxembourg – NaturmusĂ©e!

The photo below was taken earlier this year at the opening of World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026 World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026, where the same modular cardboard system was used to create part of a temporary exhibition — with a completely different graphic treatment.

It’s always exciting to see how the same modular design can take on a new character in a different museum setting, while supporting hands-on learning, participation and family engagement. Looking forward to seeing the results of this week’s build in Luxembourg!

This week, we’ll be setting up a new project as part of an exhibition at the natur musĂ©e MusĂ©e national d’histoire naturelle Luxembourg

This is our first collaboration with a natural history museum, and I’m very excited about it.

For this project, and in collaboration with the exhibition curator, we recreated the HEART-board Pyramid with a new graphic concept, using the museum’s four visual identity colours along the edges of the polyhedra to highlight the points where the building blocks connect with one another.

I’m curious to see whether and how this shift in visual language will influence the way visitors approach, interact with and experience the design within the exhibition.
