Phantom of Design

“The phantom is an architect, a designer, a composer, a magician: : a genius turned to madness.” Exhibition design for Onomatopee during Dutch Design Week 2020. The décor in which this exhibtion takes place portrays the iconography of the theatre and echoes and mirrors the theatricality of today’s levitation of design on display. By playing around with the off- and online stratosphere of design mediation today both literally and figuratively, The Phantom of design highlights the impossibility of physicality in these unprecedented times.
