The internal laboratory of ideas of Utrecht Provincial House started to increase importance within the institution. Therefore, people in the organisation of the Utrecht laboratory; Utrechtlab, wished for a space of their own. A pop-up structure right in the entrance hall of the building had the intent of recruiting even more people at the same time intriguing and informing about such a laboratory.
The concept for the platform was that people step into a white clean new world, in contrast with the surrounding context, where only people and ideas would stand out. The platform consists of a collection of reused furniture and a cloud of curtains that can completely open up creating a big set up for events or divide the space into multiple smaller spaces depending on the needs of its users.
All furniture were second hand furniture and or repurposed. A bike saddle, documents binders and a repurposed street lamp were integrated into the design of some furniture. Besides, reused fabrics, repurposed towels, scrap materials and second hand objects make the items on Pop Up platform more playful and sustainable.
