For the second time the Rotterdam based design fair OBJECT Rotterdam takes place at the monumental HAKA-building. The upcoming edition, grom Friday February 8 until Sunday February 10, this impressive building will be completely filled with design. Visitors can even take a look and have a drink at the rooftop, with an amazing view over the city. More than a hundred well known and upcoming designers will be presenting limited edition furniture, interior and light objects, as well as jewellery, textile designs and large architectural installations. OBJECT Rotterdam has grown into a renowned interdisciplinary design platform.

After a very successful edition in 2018, OBJECT Rotterdam is back at the industrial HAKA-building in the bustling Vierhavens area. The former trade building is a fine example of modernist architecture, designed in the thirties by the Dutch architects Mertens and Koeman. The HAKA is owned by Dudok Groep and will be transformed into a dynamic office building with an attractive restaurant. OBJECT Rotterdam gives visitors the opportunity to get a sneak peek into the building before it will be fully transformed and redeveloped. During the fair creative caterer Alya is opening a pop-up café on the ground floor and there will be a scenic rooftop bar. The unique location makes a visit to OBJECT even more special. On Friday the 8th the fair is hosting a program for professionals with inspiring studio visits in the surrounding area. Top designers such as Daan Roosegaarde, Atelier van Leishout, Wieki Somers, Richard Hutten and Sabine Marcelis will open up their workplace and welcome visitors by appointment.
