Victoriapark Eindhoven
oktober 2025
Andreas Hetfeld was commissioned by Philips to design the artwork 'Poort naar de Toekomst' (Gataway to the Future). This statue is a tribute to founder Gerard Philips as well as a monument that stands for humanity and innovation.The Monumental Statue that Andreas Hetfeld devised for the park and the residents of Eindhoven is a life-like Bust made of corten steel.
The Monumental Artwork was placed in mei 2023 in the 'Gloeilamp-plantsoen'. (Light Bulb Park)
The Sculpture will leave this temporary location to move to its final location in Victoria Park Eindhoven in October 2025. It will connect Gerard Philips with the newly by architect Adriaan Geuze designed Park .
The Bust will be located near the old Philips factory: the origin of the company based on research and technology. Before the move, the statue will be disassembled, transported in three parts and then reassembled with a large Crane. The exact date is yet to be announced.
