Sometimes it feels like the whole concept of a World Expo for countries to showcase their culture, technology and exports is a bit antiquated given cheap air travel and internet. It is however a great opportunity for designers and architects to indulge in some highbrow design statements at the taxpayers expense with pavilions that only serve one goal, make the other countries look out-dated and less appealing. Design duo William Brand & Annet van Egmond will be help dress up the VIP lounge in the Dutch Pavilion at Expo 08 in Zaragoza, June 14 - September 14, with their 'Night Watch' chandeliers. The pavilion is designed by Totems Communication and Architecture and will be decorated entirely with Dutch design.
