COVETED MAGAZINE PAGE 117.
Hayon’s dedication and knowledge of artisan skills, in addition to
his inherent creativity, have allowed him to push the confinements
of several mediums and functions within the industry, and
consequently, he has produced a wide variety of collections and
designs that attract an extremely diverse clientele.
Regarded as a crucial part in the Museum, the interior of the
centre has been completely renovated and is now composed of a
small theatre where films and documentaries related to running
exhibitions can be viewed. Instead of developing a conventional
impersonal atmosphere that is quite conventional in this sort of
setting, the idea behind the Info Center was to concede a cosier
yet functional approach that is more flexible. The designer also
incorporated a series of objects that are reflective of the latest
technological achievements.
The aim was also to create a truly exceptional space that was unlike
any other one could possibly visit in a museum, thus the reason
why every furniture design is custom-made and manufactured
exclusively for the centre, including the magazine stands, the
mirrors that replicate the rippling canal of Verbindingskanaal, the
tables with niches that allow visitors the chance to have more
privacy and concentration as well as the striking marble floor
which is cut in hexagon shapes and has an extremely royal like
appearance. The copper lights, display cases and custom cinema
elements also grant a fresher atmosphere that brims with light
and energy. In the centre of the room, a unique art piece of a
gigantic handmade and hand painted vase gives a bright and
aesthetic expression, in a beautiful homage to the country. It
instantly developed into an attention-grabbing area not only due
to its bespoke residential feel but also to the visible quality of craft
present in every single piece.
