Pup up wine bar: 32 days 41 wines.

Thursday we went to the Pop Up Winebar in Amsterdam. Cool interior, it's like a home, with a bedroom where you can smoke, really funny idea. Relaxed atmosphere. I loved the vintage interior with the brick wall.

Here you can see a video of their opening, so you get a bit of an impression.

Steel cabinets by JSPR

I'm really into steel cabinets lately. I love that you can make composition of your favorite things within a frame. This modern handmade interpretation by JSPR is just amazing! How the forms are attached to another it becomes a cabinet skyscraper…

Definitely a piece on my wish list.

Living blue

The theme of the Histor house during the Elle inside design was light, air and space. Everything was painted in different colors of blue and turquoise. I love blue a lot, in fashion as well, it so easy to combine. Blue is my black.

Raw graphic

During my search for graphic inspiration I found the work of Jesse Harris. It's a corporate identity for a fishmonger where the designer combines illustration work with his love for packaging design and innovative branding. I love the simplicity. It's very clear and with a touch of vintage because of the brown paper. Very beautiful.

Capital Kitchen Melbourne

Capital Kitchen is a combination of a café, bar and food-based home ware store in Melbourne. I think the corporate identity design and the interior design form a perfect combination. Love the marble Carrara bar, in this setting it is very modern in stead of classic.

Being Alice in wonderland

This interior is like being Alice in wonderland or like stepping into a cloud! Very special.
I like the soft mint color with the copper lampshades! This interior of the information centre of the Groninger Museum was designed by Jaime Hayon.

Let's make a pitstop in La Belgique

Recently I designed a shop of a petrol station, our concept was to make it a family kitchen. I will show you the drawings later. This weekend I was reorganizing a lot of magazines and articles when I found an article about this petrol station in Belgium, called Roodstop. It opened years ago and was definitely ahead of it's time. It is still very different from the average and it looks inviting to me. Of course I love the concrete flooring and industrial style. They serve Illy coffee and pepper soup, need I say more?

Recently my boyfriend and I joined a design contest here in Amsterdam. The assignment was to design an apartment with the intention of actually buying or renting it later. So we designed our dream apartment with a studio that we can afford at this point in our life. If you like you can help us by voting here and click on the most right star. Thank you very much and I'll keep you posted.

A day at the office: Paint it black

I29 Interior Architects created a new office interior for Gummo, which embraces the 'reduce, reuse, recycle'-mantra.
Neadless to say, the interior design budget was tight.
So I29 Interior Architects decided to reduce, reuse and recycle to create a stylish office space that would impact as little as possible on the environment or Gummo's wallet.
A theme was developped that would reflect the clients personality and design philosophy: simple, uncomplicated, no-nonsense, yet unquestionably stylish with a twist of humour. To reduce costs, all furniture was locally sourced via Marktplaats (sort of a Dutch eBay), charity shops and left overs from the old office. Everything was spray painted environmently friendly paint.
