The only fair in Holland dedicated to original design from the 20th century. It will be a unique trade show about modernism. About authenticity, form or function, about the history of the design icons that inspire us up until the present day.
At Design Icons Amsterdam 60 dealers will present their stock. All are original designs pieces from the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's. Appreciators of vintage quality furniture and an individual style can enjoy the offer that will vary from exclusive designers pieces (Eames, Arne Jacobsen, Mies van der Rohe, Bertoia) to more affordable items. Expect to see rocking chairs, French appliques, Scandinavian teak cabinets, Dutch design, industrial chairs and wall units and all kind of interior accessories.
The very first edition of Design Icons will take place the weekend of 11 + 12 February 2012, in the north of Amsterdam in the venue of "Bedrijfsterrein De Overkant". The hall called “De Kromhouthal” is a former shipyard that has been restored completely into a charming event location. Directly situated to the water of 't IJ, there is a view to the city center. The industrial atmosphere is the ideal setting to showcase the design classics of the 20th century.
