Summary:
Exhibiton in the Arnhem museum of modern art in the Netherlands from June 25th - September 11th 2005. It is quite unusual for a company to use the occasion of its 100th birthday to invite no less than twelve designers to react to its products, production system and image and think about that company's future in their own particular way. Dutch furniture producer Arco did just that. Its director, Willem van Ast, felt the need to do so, as his firm owes its very existence to commissioning designers from outside, something it has done since the 1970s. The project has acted as a perfect mirror for Arco itself in the shape of interesting and valuable designs, as well as eliciting a range of clear signatures from twelve talented Dutch designers, most of whom now enjoy a solid reputation on the international platform.
