Donald Judd’s Parquet

Donald Judd’s Parquet

Donald Judd (1928 - 1994) was one of the foremost practitioners of minimal art. This was primarily an American movement that around 1965 designed objects using basic industrial materials such as sheet metal, wood or plywood. In 1992 Judd designed the parquet for The Palace.

Chandeliers by Hans van Bentem

Chandeliers by Hans van Bentem

Dutch sculptor Hans van Bentem designed for the former Royal rooms on the ground and first floor very special chandeliers like a skull, a spider and an umbrella. The objects from the big chandelier in the central hall, the globe, the pair of compasses and the bow are all taken from the white wall decorations in the entrance hall.
