Kun jij de verleiding weerstaan?

Gisterenavond opende de tentoonstelling ‘Om de tuin geleid’ in Het Noordbrabants Museum. Behalve dat ze in Den Bosch wel weten hoe ze een opening goed moeten vieren, was het ook weer een feestje om ons ontwerp tot leven te zien komen. De tentoonstelling nodigt bezoekers uit om te genieten van kunst, al dwalend door het paradijs, een doolhof en verborgen tuinen, waar niets is wat het lijkt.

Veel dank aan het museumteam voor het vertrouwen en de fijne samenwerking. Samen creëerden we een beleving waar iets te halen valt voor iedere bezoeker. Vanaf morgen te zien tot en met 4 januari 2026.

✨34 YEARS OF WONDER✨

We’re celebrating Tinker’s birthday with the revised edition of WOW – Worlds of Wonder! In recent months we’ve been working dedicatedly on this new edition, now featuring updated chapters and new visuals!

From Stan & Erik’s very first project in 1991 – a life-size computer with emotions and deviant behaviour (before AI, even before the web! ;) – we’ve been hooked on creating narrative spaces that engage all senses. For three decades we’ve designed immersive worlds that spark curiosity, inspire imagination and create meaningful connections.

The WOW book brings together these years of experience, showcasing how story, space and design can transform everyday encounters into extraordinary ones. Created for clients, designers, makers, and anyone who believes in the power of wonder.

We have been working closely with De Haar Castle for some time now, and this year included a new addition to their annual September tradition. As the plans gradually took shape, they evolved into the concept Salons: evenings with renown guests in which we talk about themes such as emancipation, art, and social responsibility while enjoying an elegant dinner.

A wonderful public event, created together with Kasteel de Haar and Out Of The Rat Race (OOTRR), where visitors are invited to engage in conversations about the themes of the past and the questions of today. The idea is inspired by the historic Salons of former Baroness Hélène de Rotschild. The first evening has already taken place and was a great success!

And an awesome detail: the episodes can be listened to on Spotify, ensuring that something of this unique part of the September tradition is always preserved.

Friday just got even better: Ensor is up for an award! Last year, we had the pleasure of working on the major Ensor exhibition at the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA). And just in: the project has been nominated for the SBID International Design Awards 2025!

Together with KMSKA & brilliant partners, we brought Ensor’s world to life through theatrical scenography, layered storytelling, and playful contrasts that reflect his unique vision. Every element was crafted to draw visitors into Ensor’s head and heart. We're proud to see this immersive exhibition receiving international recognition once again.

You can help us win – public voting is now open!

New milestone: big steps for ancient stones!

Together with RYSE and our client, we developed the masterplan for the future ‘Hunebed Museum Geopark De Hondsrug’ in the north of the Netherlands. In this new museum, geology, archaeology and landscape come together in a powerful experience. One that starts in the ground and leads you out into the land.

A future-proof, sustainable and inclusive museum that tells the story of the region – from the Ice Ages to today – in an immersive and compelling way.

Last week, we proudly presented the plan to the Provincie Drenthe and the Municipality of Borger-Odoorn, together with Hunebedcentrum, Het Drentse Landschap & Geopark De Hondsrug.

About last week!

We traded our desks for the beach, chatted and laughed, built questionable rafts, tried to beat our beach volleyball record, gave slacklining a go (some more gracefully than others), and raced tricycles like pros.

Good food, good vibes, great team 🤩

The Counterplay exhibition at Paleis Het Loo - one of our most recent works - is on view until the end of August.is on view until the end of August. Here’s another glimpse!

How do female monarchs navigate power, tradition, and change? The exhibition explores how Wilhelmina, Juliana, and Beatrix shaped their reigns, and how public perception and societal shifts influenced their leadership.

Tinker designed an immersive experience featuring audiovisual and historical elements that invite reflection on gender and power.

And here's another project we wrapped up this season: step into the story of Utrecht in the Netherlands!

On the 2nd of June, exactly 903 years after Utrecht became a city, Lofen palace officially reopened with a brand new finale, an immersive film that brings the city's founding to life. A few years ago, we had the honour of designing the rest of this remarkable site, and this final piece was part of the long-term plan. Now the time has come, journey back to 1122, to the very spot where history was made.

Explore hidden ruins beneath the Domplein, join a guided tour, and experience the moment Utrecht was granted city rights like never before.

Thanks to Ondergronds Domplein (DOMunder) for another great collaboration!

New layers of experience at the European Hansemuseum in Lübeck! On 27 May, the European Hansemuseum celebrated its 10th anniversary with the festive opening of an enriched visitor journey — featuring a new immersive finale film and subtle experiential additions in key transitional spaces. A fresh perspective on Hanseatic history, ten years on.

We were entrusted with the task of enhancing the museum experience through storytelling that bridges past and present, showcasing the Legacy of the Hanse. Congratulations to our client on reaching this exciting new milestone! Haven’t visited the museum yet? Now is the perfect time to (re)discover this unique place.

At Tinker, we not only design narrative spaces, we often develop the underlying concepts as well. As a strategic partner of De Haar Castle in the Netherlands, we created a conceptual masterplan to enhance their visitor experience. Together with the castle, we are further developing and implementing it, one part at a time.

One of the steps is a new hospitality concept. Designed to reflect the unique atmosphere of the castle, it completes the visitor journey, making guests feel like the castle's guests of today. A key part recently opened: Tuynhuis Gabrielle (formerly an aviary), with Gabrielle as its inspiration and figurehead. It was officially inaugurated by Vanessa, Baroness Van Zuylen van Nijevelt. A wonderful milestone in the ongoing invigoration of this remarkable place.

Proud to keep shaping the future of this iconic site. Our collaboration has already introduced several immersive elements, such as animated storytelling throughout the rooms and the newly revamped pavilion. And there's more to come: we're currently working on a dedicated children's layer (more on that soon!).
