Foto styling workshop @ Tine K Home

Zaterdag heb ik een fotostyling workshop gevolgd van Paulina Arcklin. De workshop werd gegeven in de showroom van Tinek K Home Nederland waardoor we prachtige producten en materialen voor handen hadden om composities mee te maken.

Hier een aantal van mijn foto's:

Industrial italian: Vicini Rotterdam

Vicini is a new italian restaurant in Rotterdam. I like the industrial interior style, with the raw materials and the fabric fishes that are hanging in the space. They remind me of the work of Paola Navone and give the interior identity.

It's time to go to Rotterdam to eat good simple italian food!

Amsterdam inspiration

Last weekend I made some pictures during a walk through Amsterdam. In the harbor area I saw this drifting wooden house, isn't it beautiful?

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.

Wasteland: an inspiring documentary

A friend recommended to see this documentary and I'm glad we did. I watched it a few weeks ago and I still think of it often. It's so beautiful to see how art can change peoples life, and in this movie literally. It's a very moving documentary about the people who work in the world's largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. Together with artist Vic Muniz they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage (around 50m2 on the floor), that reveals both the dignity and despair of the catadores as they begin to re-imagine their lives.

View down onto Irma’s portrait on the floor, here you can see the scale very well.

Inwards and Onwards

Last friday I went to the exhibition of Anton Corbijn in FOAM in Amsterdam. The work that is shown are pictures Corbijn made of artists he admires.
I met him once in the interior shop I was working and told him I liked the picture he made of our queen because of the composition and color, so he thanked me. That was such a big thing for me at that time that I had the guts to compliment him and it felt so good!

Here are a few of the pieces that are shown at FOAM

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)

Colour hunting

I was immediately fascinated by the subtitle of the book "How colour influences what we buy, make and feel" and this sentece of the advertisment at framemag.com "This book takes us on a colourful journey, hunting out and broadening our horizons into the immense potential of colour. With an appreciation of every nuance, tone, tint and shade, the possibilities are truly infinite." 
I can really recommend this book, it's true inspiration! The book contains beautiful quotes from great artists, a lot of beautiful pictures and interviews with well known professionals like Claudy Jongstra, Piet Oudolf and Scholten & Baijings. Fore more info check this link
