Das Boutique

Das Boutique started from a simple idea: creating space for makers, artists and curious people to meet, share work and inspire each other. Not inside a white gallery cube, but inside our own studio. The place where we normally work on brands, ideas and campaigns now becomes a temporary home for art, illustration and experimentation.

We believe good ideas deserve visibility. That’s why we invited a group of artists we admire to showcase their work during Agency at Night.

From prints and paintings to objects and unexpected discoveries. A place to discover something new. Or leave with something you want to take home. The price of prints and objects vary from 10 euro to 1.500 euro’s.

Together we create a night filled with creativity and drinks are on us.

Below you’ll find a short introduction to the artists featured during Das Boutique on May 29, 2026. Curious to see the full collection together? Come by Das Buro and experience it in real life.

Maaike Canne is a Rotterdam-based illustrator and visual artist whose vibrant, colour-driven compositions reimagine everyday spaces with a cinematic stillness. Inspired by modernist architecture, interior design, and the natural world, her work explores the interplay between inside and outside. Rooms that open onto landscapes, structures that merge with their surroundings, striking a balance between graphic boldness and a quiet, almost nostalgic warmth.

Her scenes often feel like the moment just after someone has left the frame. That deliberate absence gives the work its pull: spaces rich with suggestion, inviting the viewer to step in and complete the story.

She works across digital illustration, gouache, oil painting and large-scale murals, moving fluently between editorial commissions, packaging and brand campaigns.
