New Project: Interior design for police

Recent heb ik dit interieurontwerp opgeleverd.

De rode draad in het interieur van zowel het Pantry als het Home Concept is ontmoeten en je thuisvoelen. Om het ontmoeten te bevorderen heb ik grote tafels met banken en krukjes voorgesteld waar iedereen kan aanschuiven.

Ik heb gekozen voor een sfeer met natuurlijke en stoere materialen als steigerbuizen en sloophout. Functionaliteit is in dit interieurontwerp zeer belangrijk omdat het meubilair snel beschadigd raakt door de koppels die agenten dragen.

Recently I finished this interior design. 

The main theme of the interior of the Pantry and Home Concept to meet and to feel at home. To encourage the meeting part I suggested large tables with benches and stools to sit down to the table.

I have chosen an atmosphere with natural and raw materials like scrapwood and scaffolding pipes. Functionality is very important in this interior design because the furniture by the wapons the policemen wear.

Styling idea: The round mirror

A great benefit of using a mirror in your interior is that it makes a room more spacious.  Beside this it is a beautiful object to decorate your home with. A round mirror is a bit less predictable  and a friendly form. What do you think?

Eclectic by Tom Dixon

I'm very fond of the lighting collection of Tom Dixon. Unfortunately the copper shades were cut of a project recently because of the budget, what a shame....

At Maison et Objet Tom Dixon launched a collection with smaller things, called Eclectic. 

Cool name don't you think? 

I would like to have this beautiful chop board, you can't see it very well but there is a golden detail laid in the board.

Tommy Hilfiger ‘Peoples Place’

You can't find a logo in this restaurant where the people of Tommy Hilfiger have lunch.
I think it is special that a brand doesn't express who they are with a logo but with feeling and atmosphere. Nice place to have lunch if you work for Tommy Hilfiger in Amsterdam.
Marc Prosman is responsible for the interior design.

Fisherman's lights by Mattias Ståhlbom

I like these fisherman's lights designed by Mattias Ståhlbom. Glass fishing floats were once used by fishermen in many parts of the world to keep their nets afloat. We saw these lights this summer at a beach of Lombok at night and we saw the fisherman go into the water, what was a beautiful view.

Caravaggio matt from Lightyears

What a nice surprise that the Caravaggio pendant light is available in matt colors. It looks like concrete and in white like porcelain. So beautiful and a nice example what material can do. In my opinion the form becomes more elegant. Definitely on my wishlist to use it in a project.

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.

Apartment with style

This apartment is my cup of tea! It's raw, graphic and elegant at the same time.  Love the bedroom wall where you can write you're great ideas you get at night or a romantic poem for your love.

color moodboard for one of my projects

I've been very busy with my two first freelance projects lately and will show you a bit of my hard work here. It's one of the moodboards I made for a restaurant restaurant.

Southern comfort

During my search for a nice hotel in Antwerp for a weekend trip I found Hotel Julien. What a great place to stay with all these design classics in a classic environment. Love the patio with the black steel window frames like I used in my design (see my post) for our apartment in our design contest of Kavel 12 (you can still vote for us here)

My new home office

In Septembre I will start my own freelance business in interior design and I'm very busy with my business plan and stuff like that. Very exciting! In the beginning I will work from home so I have to create a bigger space where I can work and store my stuff. I would like to create a big floating worktable, something like the picture in my mood board, but unfortunately that's not possible because of the fireplace as you can see at the picture of my home office as it is at the moment. I will solve this problem by using a drawer from IKEA at one side, that will support the table top.
