The Ukrainian project was a success at the world-famous Dutch Design Week

The Ukrainian project Endless Movement took part in the world-famous Dutch Design Week, the most important event in design in Northern Europe, which is the world's most progressive laboratory of modern design.

Endless Movement is a collection of kinetic sculptures Endless Movement from the "Smith & Winken" bureau-laboratory, Ukrinform reports.

"I see that people are delighted. International journalists are enthusiastic about our project. So we are fulfilling the task we set for ourselves. We wanted to combine the experience of science, art, design, layers of world culture, and create something new. We wanted to make this product appealing to children, adults, and professionals alike. Today, Smith & Winken's Endless Movement collection includes 20 items. Only six items are presented at the exhibition. Visitors enjoy watching the movement of objects, which can sometimes be hypnotic. These objects make you stop and think, in particular, about life. Each of us is a well-calculated mechanism. We just need to look at how, for example, birds fly, the flutter of their wings, feel it, and get inspired," said Ukrainian designer Valerii Kuznetsov.

He also noted that after the wild success of the Ukrainian project, a contract had already been signed with the gallery, where the Dutch Design Week was held.

"Of course, it works not only during Design Week. So it's not only participation in Dutch Design Week but also the highest bar. So until January 2022, our work can be seen at the Kazerne Gallery in Eindhoven after the Dutch Design Week. And we've already received proposals for collaboration with very well-known design studios, real stars. The details are still a secret," Kuznetsov shared.

Every year, Dutch Design Week, which focuses on innovation and fresh unusual ideas. More than 350,000 connoisseurs of the beautiful and unusual visit the event.
