What do we need? Really need?

What do we need? Really need?

A connection requires focus when distraction is everywhere; In our pockets, over our shoulders, at our feet, inside our head. To see the unseen we must simply focus on the present.

Salone de mobile is an intense week of busy installations therefore architecture firm Space Encounters designed 'The Museum'. A space of harmony that stops noise and distractions from the outside world. A space that allows the visitor to focus and create a memorable experience. 

The decisions in 'The Museum' are predetermined. You do not have to think, just connect.

'The Museum' is similar to no other museum. Nothing is imposed or explained to you. It is a journey through a collection of spaces that changes your perception of time. A single journey that completely resets your focus, because it's only when you are truly focused that everything becomes clear.

A world of Dutch creativity - within one experience.

'The Museum' imitates a typical museum but its qualities are clear and condensed. Exactly what you need in this cluttered world.

"The Museum" is supported by Creative Holland and various partners.
