Dutch Design Week’s Table of Power: Collectible Furniture as Cultural Critique by Show Not Show

Show Not Show, a design collective known for its critical take on contemporary culture, is presenting a provocative exhibition at Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven. Titled ‘Table of Power’, the show reimagines a classic project that documented hierarchies of influence, now transformed into a series of collectible furniture pieces. The exhibition highlights how design can interrogate power structures, using the domestic object as a medium for social commentary. Visitors can expect a blend of craftsmanship and conceptual rigor, with each piece inviting reflection on who holds authority in today’s world. The event underscores the growing role of collectible design in cultural discourse, attracting collectors, critics, and the design-curious alike. As Dutch Design Week continues to champion experimental work, ‘Table of Power’ stands out for merging aesthetic appeal with sharp cultural critique, making it a must-see for those interested in the intersection of art, design, and politics. The exhibition runs through the duration of the week, offering a timely meditation on power in the 21st century.
