Panta Rhei School in The Netherlands by i29 Interior Architects

Panta Rhei means “everything flows”, “everything is in motion”. This name represents the imaginative, fluid design, which sparks creativity and interpretation.

Poems by Erikjan Harmens have been applied to the linoleum floors and the furniture, as commissioned by i29.  i29 modeled the poems in “carpets of text” where the letters stick together. This imagery has been implemented by i29 in the new school logo, the facade and the signposting throughout the school.

The furniture is strong and robust, but does not look bulky against the neutral structure. The Grcic chair is clearly a bold but fitting choice for a vocational school because it recalls the production of design.
