SALON/Kant; at the Launch of You Are Cordially Invited

Launch of the art magazine "You Are Cordially Invited" Including the Wooden floor dress by Antoine Peters which is part of SALON/Kant.

Discovered in one space, embraced in the other, Antoine Peters gives the floor a leading role in his newest project. With the parquet floor as reference the designer created the Wooden floor dress. Playing with the notion of 'normal' en how the world of art brings new perspectives, Antoine lifts the floor up and elevates it to a dress.

Peters created the Wooden floor dress especially for the cover of You Are Cordially Invited, a two dimensional exhibition space for contemporary art, which is manifested in a glossy magazine. The goal is to discover the context and meaning of modern art and its surroundings.

Antoine Peters: "I am proud of my Wooden floor dress. In this project I could let my creativity run free. With a certain visual approach the magazine focusses on touching a wide audience with contemporary art. My Wooden floor dress is a part of that ambition."

Until the 18th of August you are able to visit ViaHenri where the Wooden floor dress is exhibited.
From Wednesday to Friday from 13.00 - 17.00.

Installation MENSCH MADE

"Every product has a front and a back. The front is what one sees and feels. The back tells us about the way a product is manufactured, who it made, where it was made, from what it was made and under which circumstances."

Based in Eindhoven, Mensch Made design believes that intelligent design puts as much effort in the back of the product as it does in the front. Mensch Made makes interior products, accessories and gifts while considering human and environmental issues. 

This beautiful piece hangs in the courtyard of Amsterdam Museum.
