Philips Museum

At the Philips Museum, there is always attention for the diverse aspects of Philips related design. From the arrival of Louis Kalff at Philips to the start of the twentieth century, to contemporary trends like co-creation or design thinking.

 

During the weekend, Sean Carney, Philips' Chief Design Officer, talks about design at Philips now, Dutch Design Foundation presents a new design challenge, and the curator of the Philips Museum elaborates and provides a tour of the current exhibition on Space Age Design.

 

Kazerne

Exhibition restaurant Kazerne shows work of world-class design talent all year long. Often these designers have a link with Eindhoven, and this time, also with Philips. The Philips light installation Lightfall is on show, as part of the exhibition ESCAPE, on the journey into intriguing beauty.
