Peter Slavenburg
Director
NorthernLight

A creative designer and respected project leader who never loses sight of the initial design goals of a project, Peter Slavenburg is the co-founder and director of NorthernLight. Slavenburg has worked on more than 25 projects, amongst others the Glasgow Science Centre, the Hidrodoe in Belgium, the Rotterdam Historic Museum, the Sound and Vision Experience, the Guang Dong Science Centre, the Hong Kong Science Museum, the Science and Technology Museum in Beijing and the Earth Galleries in the Macao Science Centre.

Based in Amsterdam, NorthernLight is a dynamic young company that develops, designs, builds and installs exhibitions and experiences for a wide variety of exhibitors. Clients include museums, science centres, brand centres and world expos. Action and interaction are central to the NorthernLight approach, turning visitors from passive observers into active participants. NorthernLight creates exhibitions that tell stories, not merely present objects.

In recent years, NorthernLight has established itself as a world leader in the field of museum and expo design and handling complex projects involving many parties is a particular strength of NorthernLight. The company’s portfolio includes over 50 projects, in Europe, North and South America, the Middle East and the Asia Pacific region. In-house, there is a team of interior designers, exhibit designers, multimedia designers, project managers, fabrication managers, researchers and education experts.

NorthernLight has just opened its Asia Pacific office in Beijing, China and has established strategic partnerships in Canada and Spain. The focus of NorthernLight’s designs is on interaction and experience; to lead visitors into the process of exploration and discovery.
