The sun is out, the sky is blue, a great day for an opening! Today we are excited to present to you the grand reveal of the central Tower of the Floriade in Almere, named Flores!

MVRDV, Arttenders and Alex Verhaest designed the gigantic artwork that covers the facade of Flores during Floriade Expo 2022 and long afterwards. The work, titled Sympoiesis, is printed on the forty-three metre high facade of the central tower designed by KLUNDER ARCHITECTEN. The artwork is based on the alphabetically planted arboretum showing the fast diversity of Dutch plants and flowers: the Floriade masterplan designed by MVRDV. This arboretum was translated onto the façade in an artistic and original way.

Flores Tower is a design by Klunder Architecten on behalf of Dura Vermeer and Amvest and is the central hub of the Floriade Expo 2022, which will be held in Almere, the Netherlands, between April and October.

Special thanks to: MVRDV, Alex Verhaest Dura Vermeer,
Gemeente Almere, Amvest and Floriade Expo 2022, we loved working with you!

A sneak peak of what the Benthuizerstraat soon could look like! If this does not brighten up your day nothing will.
Last March we announced that Arttenders will be transforming the Benthuizerstraat in close consultation with our client Stichting Poort van Noord. Why?

The Benthuizerstraat is buzzing with life. The street is located in one of the best-known pre-war neighborhoods in Rotterdam and is characterised by its historical nature. It has huge potential as a shopping street, a community hotspot and most of all as a Poort (a gateway) to other highlights of Rotterdam Noord. However, it could use a little help to showcase its potential and strategic location in the area.
Arttenders selected a local artist to join our team: Xaviera Altena. Xaviera lives and works around the corner of the Benthuizerstraat. In her work Xaviera uses bold colors and black outlines to create her recognizable imagery with her typical feminine and playful touch. Xaviera and our Arttenders team collaborated closely to create a recognizable pattern that emphasizes the identity.
Participation is key in this project, residents could vote for their favorite design and local entrepreneurs are being mobilized to see how the design can be integrated into their business.
Stay tuned for more.
In collaboration with: Arttenders, Xaviera Altena and Poort van NOORD

Watch it now!
Turntable, inspired by a traditional record player, is a moving auditory installation that is driven by its audience in a playful and intuitive way.

In honor of Rotterdam Ahoy ‘s 50th anniversary, Arttenders and Jonas Vorwerk created Turntable: a musical gift to the city.
The interactive installation is a brand-new beacon for Ahoy that serves as a gathering point during events, but also has a natural appeal outside of these that invites physical interaction.
When will you stop by for some outdoor spinning and scratching?!
