The idea of The Mussel couch design was originated at our office, which is very close to Scheveningen at the seahore. It was specially designed for the Admiraal de Ruyter Hospital in Vlissingen of which Atelier PRO made the revitalization design and the interior design. 


The spaciousness, the finishing and the layout of the new atrium makes waiting, in often stressful circumstances, less unpleasant. This atrium is light, the view is green and you can take a seat on this striking piece of furniture, the mussel bank.


Vlissingen is in the Dutch province of Zeeland known for its delicious mussels. That’s where the idea came from; designing an interior with a strong regional character. This can also be found in the rest of the interior with the choice of colors, materials and shapes. The separate furnishing elements have been designed by atelier PRO in collaboration with project designer Weststrate from Middelburg.
