Visiting a Designers Playground

In Kade Clubhuis we play together! To get further, to mean something to others, to be able to keep playing now, but also in the future.

The Kade Clubhuis is a maker space with eight different design studios, young and old, beginning and more advanced. A place where we work on a better, more beautiful and more sustainable future for ourselves and for others. During the Dutch Design Week 2022 we present A Designers Playground. An interactive group exhibition where we provide insight into: where and how we play, but especially what the results are from playing.

Collaboration with Vitalis

Ideas never come magically. It takes time and a process that involves the right people along the way, the most important being of course the users! For that reason, I have been collaborating with Vitalis Berkelhof, a senior residence close to my studio. We have been trying out different activity setups to explore Moving Memories with the residents, the day visitors, and the caregivers. Our goal was to discover what kinds of activities fit different groups, as well as get an idea of how other activities take place.

Vitalis is setting up an exhibition of all the projects they welcomed for collaboration this year. Visit them between 22 October en 25 November to see beautiful pictures of the participants during our research.

And you, what is your time-proof moving memory?

Have you ever been daydreaming while folding socks or finally relaxing after a long day while peeling potatoes?

Habits and functional routines turn into relaxing rituals, because of their familiarity. While dementia can erase memories, the memory of movement stays longer.
These routines can procure comfort and relaxation while stimulating the senses.

This year for DDW we propose you join us and explore what your time-proof moving memory is.

Come along to try the intriguing objects of the collection Moving Memories. You are welcome to touch, hear, feel and share!
