The pattern on the curtains in Sonneveld House was designed by Elise Djo Bourgeois and reprinted by Marina van Tuikwerd. The “contemporary echo,” printed on the outer layer of the Time Tower mesh fabric, was created in collaboration with graphic design firm Team Thursday. https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/Z2174793707021037056842685075818/AS_Tijd-Toren_30.jpg Time changes how we look at our history - we now also see the story of the Land of Hoboken in relation to Rotterdam's colonial past, the private villa Huis Sonneveld with part for the family, and part for their staff. As we reflect on this area being part of our public space for 100 years this year, I thought it was important to highlight those sides too. https://alexesoleil.com/three-pavilions
