The Hague Philharmonic commissioned VERVOLMAKEN to design and produce three shop windows at De Bijenkorf department store.

Niels van Hout translated their campaign ‘music touches, music moves, music meets’ in three encounters shrouded in clouds of music.

Two mannequins stand face to face in clouds of sheet music and music stands.
With turning elements of music stands and sheets make the clouds move, and gives it the typical VERVOLMAKEN touch.

Three musical encounters that provide inspiration to the public.

After the success of previous display designs for the museum, Panorama Mesdag commissioned VERVOLMAKEN again to develop a concept and design for windows at department store de Bijenkorf in The Hague.

This time for the occasion of the exhibition "Chansons Grises" with creations by Peter George d' Angelino Tap. VERVOLMAKEN framed Tap’s dresses to create museological windows. The mannequins rotate in the framework to enhance the theatrical experience.

To attract the shopper’s attention to the museum’s visual communication, the text cubes turn into all different directions. A mural sketch by Tap was used as giant backdrop to complete the visual spectacle.

The rotation of the cubes and the mannequins make the display a dynamic eye-catcher.

Operadagen Rotterdam commissioned VERVOLMAKEN to design and produce windows at department store de Bijenkorf, for the 2nd year. The theme of the 9th edition of Operadagen Rotterdam was (R)evolution - Brotherhood.

Niels composed an army of activist mannequins that symbolizes this year’s theme. This massive protest group covered with tape and anonymous masks occupies the windows at the department store. Fans make their large flags wave, attract the shopper’s attention to the festival.

Operadagen Rotterdam commissioned VERVOLMAKEN to design and produce
window displays at De Bijenkorf, for the 3rd consecutive year. The theme of the 10th edition of Operadagen Rotterdam was (R)evolution - Equality.

The window showcases a spatial structure, based on the programmed opera The Game. In this modern play every individual is looking for or demands his place in society.

To design a contemporary display Niels used as starting point his signature design method to create impact with basically nothing. PVC pipes and campaign posters were turned into a life size game structure: simplicity vs. multiplicity.

The window contains many moving elements to show the ongoing process of The Game.
This setting also served as a special " city stage " for various live performances.
NOS news made a reportage from the VERVOLMAKEN window to showcase ‘the out of the box’ programming of Operadagen Rotterdam.

Operadagen Rotterdam commissioned VERVOLMAKEN to design and produce shop windows at De Bijenkorf department store Rotterdam. This year’s theme (R)evolution - Freedom is represented by symbolic and moving elements.

The contemporary world of Operadagen Rotterdam escapes from boundaries, and moves from (R)evolution - left window - to Freedom - right window.

Out of the white box emerges a diverse range of symbolic elements: protest, captivity, music and freedom. Red/white barrier tape makes a symbolic attempt to hold all elements together, but freedom will triumph in this window display.

Jewelry designer Martine Viergever commissioned VERVOLMAKEN to design and produce a display installation for the launch of the MOHS 5.5. high fashion jewelry collection.

Viergever: “The installation evokes associations of an archaeologist’s camp or a gold miners hut. It paints the picture of the design process which became a search for the most beautiful glass fragments. While detecting, digging, sifting and reconstructing, Martine Viergever comes up with her own artifacts. MOHS 5.5 is design experiment that favours the aesthetic qualities of a simple glass splinter.”

VERVOLMAKEN constructed the MOHS 5.5 display with recycled window frames, glass and tentpoles perfected with styling accessories and lighting.

The installation went on a successful tour calling at Options! shop Amsterdam, Humanoid Arnhem, Objet Trouvé Rotterdam and Kazerne Eindhoven during Dutch Design Week.
