The shown pieces of furniture are end- and yearprojects from the students of Thomas More Mechelen (Belgium) – Interiordesign OHO-IV – Open Higher Education Interior Design. The furniture is made starting from a specific concept, individualy designed and realised by the students.

Tête-à-Tête design

Working students taking a Professional Bachelor’s degree in Interior Design in Open Higher Education at Thomas More University of Applied Sciences in Mechelen (Belgium) are exhibiting their work in the Dutch Design Week 2023. “Although this is the fourth time we have participated in the Dutch Design Week, it is still an honour to be here. This year we are exhibiting tables designed by third-year students,” explains the course lecturer Wim Valvekens. “They were given the assignment of working on the theme of ‘reflection’. Their interpretations are both literal and figurative, resulting in a highly diverse body of work. The items of furniture were constructed on the basis of a specific concept, and designed and created individually by the students. Each object has its own story and character. We are also exhibiting a series of conceptual knives by fourth-year students. Their assignment was to design a ‘knife’ in the broadest sense of the term.”

About Thomas More - Interieur, Design & Architectuur (B)

We are Interior & Design. We are part of Thomas More, the university college with over 15.500 students and 1.400 staff, and 11 campuses in 7 cities. But our 1000 students and 100 colleagues are also the creative ‘odd man out’ in this college, while keeping our feet firmly on the ground. We look forward to the future world (of design) with Mechelen - the historic heart of Burgundian Flanders and the birthplace of a rich furniture tradition - as our home base.
