“Boeken als…/Books as…,” a new exhibition at Huis van het Boek in The Hague, explores the diverse roles books play in both societal and personal contexts. The exhibition features a selection from Huis van het Boek’s collection alongside contemporary works by artists such as Shani Leseman, An Onghena, Jorge Méndez Blake, and Hans op de Beeck. Housed in the former residence of Baron Van Westreenen van Tiellandt (1783–1848), the museum retains an intimate, historic ambiance. Drawing inspiration from the building’s history, we envisioned the exhibition as a “wunderkammer”—a personal space filled with books and wrapped furniture. This concept shaped the visual design, where typography bridges historical references with contemporary elements, complemented by a rope motif that adds both graphic and tactile qualities. This approach highlights the connection between tradition and modernity, seamlessly tying the old and the new together.
