A multi-sensory installation with pyramid structures, texts, sound, taste and smell. A space to slow down, reflect and do nothing for a while.
A makers’ collective of designers and artists creates a spatial and sensory experience in a high industrial living-work space on Strijp R, as a gentle protest against societies driven too much by notions of efficiency and economic prosperity.
Location: Strijp R, Kathodelaan 12
Do nothing and recharge
Re-charge draws attention to the importance of regeneration and rest in the overstimulated, consumerist surrounding of contemporary world, reminding about the alternative ways of being. It combines various design disciplines and uses them as tools to create a moment of recharge, a place where visitors can slow down, reflect — and hopefully — finally do nothing for a while.

Five different subtle scent landscapes that stimulate a collective state of mind, a sense of unity and connection – Mandy Shah
Sparkling water with flavors of different herbs. The drinks have a calming effect, provide relaxation and focus – Georgia Janssen
