- For TextielLab in Tilburg, we developed a layered information system.
- At TextielLab, artists and designers collaborate with specialists to create contemporary textile works, often pushing the limits of techniques and machinery. As part of the TextielMuseum, the Lab is also open to the public.
-
The challenge was to guide visitors through the Lab—explaining the programme, machines, and techniques—while respecting the working environment.
-
We used the structure of the main hall as a framework, taking the existing pillars as reference points. Inspired by functional, factory-style signage, each machine is identified by a high-mounted sign on a pillar, visible to both artists and visitors. Below, a small text explains the machine’s specific function.
- At the entrance, an information panel with a floor plan and a short introductory video welcomes visitors.
- Central to the project is an audio tour in seven chapters, following the work and process of two artists to explain how the Lab operates.
- Audio tour created with Anne Dilven, hosted by Vinny Tailor

- Printing and installation by Rutjes Reclame

- This year, we had the opportunity to collaborate with Estúdio Campo on the visual communication for the Venice Biennale 2024. This large-scale project encompassed the entire visual identity of the main exhibition, both in the Giardini and the Arsenale.
-
The team, comprising just three individuals – Paula Tinoco, Roderico and Carolina – from Estúdio Campo and Studio Kader, was responsible for developing a cohesive visual identity. This included the designing of posters, catalogues, animations, signage and promotional materials. The work involved intense research and development of graphic concepts that could dialogue with the curatorial proposal and the Biennale. Coordination with different design and production teams was essential to guarantee the consistency and quality of all the graphic materials.
