Exhibition

Frank Penders
An eclectic exhibition of interior objects created by the participating design studios. At the heart of the exhibition stands a long table, creating the setting for the DDW press dinner on opening evening. Around the table, the exhibition takes shape

Table as a symbol of institutional power

The title ‘Table of Power’ refers to Jacqueline Hassink’s project *The Table of Power*, in which she photographed the boardroom tables of major multinationals as symbols of institutional power. Inspired by this work, SHOW NOT SHOW transforms the table from a symbol of institutional power into a platform for participation and interpretation.
