Iconic Dutch Design is recontexualized by a younger generation in the jubilee exhibition of contemporary design publisher Thomas Eyck. In collaboration with Zuiderzee Museum and curator Jules van den Langenberg this section is first to publish a series of new projects.
 
To mark his jubilee ten product series were selected from Thomas Eyck’s collection, which are exemplary for the collaborations the publisher & distributor has developed with designers and producers since 2007. Accordingly, ten young designers, artists and architects were invited to create a project in which the iconic t.e. objects are studied and recontextualised. The retrospective exhibition reviews the past decade and forecasts a potential future for the t.e. collection. Installation 0/10 by artists and filmmakers Lernert & Sander is a reflection on the craft businesses with which Thomas Eyck has collaborated in the past decade.
 
Artists and filmmakers Lernert & Sander reflect on The work serves as an introduction to the exhibition. It consists of a film projector that projects its own birth using tangible 16mm film. The film shows a number of the workshops where the parts of the projector are re-created, in wicker, porcelain, flax, copper, oak and leather. Pewter, glass and paper are also used, but are not shown in the film.
