EXHIBITION
Something fake opens tonight at Platform 21. Although you’ll get to see products, photos, flowers, food and people that look like other products, photos, flowers, food and people, there’s no guarantee that what you see is actually real. It is only a reality check, it's ‘Something fake.’ The exhibition’s opening night sees a discussion with high-end designers, trend watchers and media experts including socially-conscious designer Bea Correa, trend forecaster Annemarie Commandeur, and designer Björn Franke.
