A graduate of the Conservation and Restoration of Art Works study programme at the Kauno kolegija Higher Education Institution (HEI), Faculty of Arts and Education, and furniture designer Tadas Baukus has created special kitchen furniture set for the Amsterdam School Museum.

Graduate T. Baukus rethought the architectural style of the Amsterdam School and created a unique interpretation, a kitchen furniture set, for which he used old, no longer usable furniture and four doors from Kaunas Town Hall, which he made after cleaning work. All of this will not lie in any archive after the exhibition but will be seen, used, touched, and loved during each excursion.

The furniture shapes were dictated by the facade of the house itself, the only building in the Amsterdam School architectural style in Lithuania. Along with the kitchen furniture, the height of which reaches 3.3 m, a smart Swiss Therma electric stove used and restored in 1936 in Žaliakalnis, an impressively large-scale enamelled cast iron sink in the Art Deco style from 1930, and of course, a variety of hidden functions, which you will not only see but also experience during unique experiential excursions.

We are pleased that the professional and harmonious team of lecturers of the Conservation and Restoration of Art Works study programme implemented at the Academy of Arts transfers knowledge of art and science disciplines to future specialists who contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage and create unique interpretations.
