The Netherlands Pavilion
World EXPO Osaka 2025
As part of my job at Tellart I took on the role of Lead Designer for the Dutch pavilion. First to lead the tender, directing the creative process and responsible for the deliverables and presentations. Once won, I led the Tellart project team, managed the client and stakeholders, and ensured a user-friendly design.
From the high level narrative, interaction concept up to the details of multiple multisensory interactive installations. The design phase of the project is finished and the pavilion is now in construction and will open in April 2025. Until then I cannot disclose all the experiences visitors will have once entering the pavilion.
At a press conference in June 2023 we had the pleasure to present the winning design for the Dutch Pavilion 2025. Together with Thomas Rau (founder of Rau Architects) Paul van Bergen (holding director at DGMR) and I, we introduced the building to Liesje Schreinemacher, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Aid, a delegate of the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the press.
