Netherlands Broadcasting Company: colourful pixel landscape
New interior design for the
head office of the National Broadcasting Channel, located in three existing,
dark buildings at the Media Park in Hilversum: this office space was re-created
by COEN! to form a light, colourful and attractive working environment, with an
ambience appropriate to a media concern. The design was based on the following
points of departure:
- The specific identity of
the National Broadcasting Channel is evident throughout the head office.
- All three buildings have
been integrated to form a coherent and recognizable environment.
- The characteristic items
used for the design are at the interface between applied and autonomous art.
- The interior design is
timeless with colourful accents.
- In spite of the limited
budget available, it was possible to create a powerful concept.
In 2006 COEN! redesigned the
TV test picture to symbolize the National Broadcasting Channel. The well-known
test picture was translated into colourful art forms on wall panels and window
accessories throughout the media building. Based on the same design, a series
of 16 colourful giclees was produced, which when taken together form the
complete test picture. Each giclee is available in a limited edition of 50
prints. Each print is signed, numbered and framed in aluminium behind glass.
