Een bloemetje op tafel x DAR
DAR Cultural Agency connects artists and communities. For the first Design Biennale Rotterdam, we’re bringing ceramic artist Yuro Moniz to Een Bloemetje op Tafel, a beloved flower shop in Rotterdam West. Owners Johan and Lysbeth have long admired Moniz’s work, making this collaboration a natural fit.
The shop will showcase three of Moniz’s monumental museum vases, surrounded by floral arrangements. Rooted in traditional coiling techniques learned in South Korea and Morocco, Moniz’s ceramics merge craft, culture and ancestry.

Yuro Moniz will host an opening ceremony where she WIll create a warm space for anyone seeking a conversation and a bowl of traditional Surinamese peanut soup, served with the legendary tomtom. The opening event, Soep op de Stoep, will take place outside Een Bloemetje op Tafel, where Yuro will have a table with a warming pan and soup, ready to welcome anyone passing through the city on their way to the Design Biennale Rotterdam. We will invite interesting people from Yuro’s and DAR’s network to visit the biennale and this opening program, where Yuro will talk about her work in the context of the Design Biennale and being showcased in a flower shop.
Her presentation reflects the space in between things onto the next phase. The beginning and end of a story about burning desire to follow the path of mastering intuitive perception
