The task was to create a design that would above all reflect the innovative nature of the current activities of DSM. The surrounding landscape of South Limburg, home of the chemical giant, was the starting point for Mentjens’ design. Mentjens took inspiration from the Adoration of the Mystic Lamb by the medieval painters Jan and Hubert van Eyck as well as the visual structure of micro-organisms which cover the walls of the room. Also reflected in the design is the history of the company itself.
