Opening. Klarenbeek & Dros. Design of the Unusual


The Dutch design duo are guests at the Paternoster Hall

Klarenbeek & Dros were the first designers in the world to 3D-print mycelium, a living material consisting of the thread-like root structure of fungi. They are now combining this material with the properties of algae, seaweed and moss.
Maartje Dros and Eric Klarenbeek are pioneers in the field of material innovation and are setting new standards. Die Neue Sammlung presents their first monographic exhibition.
