magazinelove - This Orient

"As we try to explore what the origins of all creative energy are, it is essential to face up to our own roots, and a lot of people already do. Our magazine is called 'THIS ORIENT. The name implies the idea that what we want to share already exists, yet is still waiting to be explored." © 'THIS ORIENT

I'm  a real magazine enthusiast and I love discovering and admiring new magazines!

This weekend I was so lucky to receive the stunning new (and second)  issue of

 this Orient  called "Sirens" .  This issue is dedicated to -  and filled with

 inspiring stories about female creatives that are working in different areas... 

The magazine is all about architecture, its residents and their art in a 

very pretty aesthetic style and I must say the magazine felt great in my hands,  

I really liked it! Besides the beautiful cover (I have this thing with magazinecovers) and

the great stories  I was pleasantly surprised by their amazing photos...

Very inspiring! 

This Orient is a nice addition to the world of magazines in my opion

you will find all about this issue here

It's not a secret that I'm a real magazine addict... 

So yes, I was very interested when I heard that a brand new Dutch magazine

 would come out. A very inspiring magazine on design, architecture, interior design,

 leisure, beauty, travel and food led by Dutch design expert Mary Hessing. 

Besides many interesting articles Mary (the former head of Eigen Huis & Interieur 

magazine and More Than Classic magazine) and her husband, writer Toon Lauwen,  

opened their home (a beautifully converted former milk factory)  for  photographers

 Johan Nieuwenhuize and Alex Profit and shared it in their beautiful magazine "WOTH". 

WOTH came it out this week in a Dutch and a separate English edition.

Today I share some of the snapshots that I made a few months ago 

when I had the change to visit their stunning and very inspiring home during the

 festival Design kwartier at the Hague and I'm still not over it... 

So much beauty to admire at this amazing home...

 I can't wait to have my hand on the paper magazine and admire it again !

Meanwhile you can be inspired and have a sneak peek here

Ik ben echt een enorm tijdschriften liefhebber en toen ik een tijd geleden hoorde dat Mary Hessing (voormalig hoofdredactrice van Eigen Huis & Interieur en More than Classic magazine) een nieuw tijdschrift uit ging brengen over design,  interieur en lifestyle kon ik niet wachten om het blad te bewonderen! Vanaf deze week is het magazine eindelijk verkrijgbaar in de winkels en kunnen we naast alle interessante artikelen het geweldige huis  (een oude melkfabriek in hartje Den Haag) van Mary en haar man schrijver Toon Lauwen in dit nummer bewonderen.  Een tijd geleden heb ik dit huis zelf bewonderd tijdens het festival design kwartier en ik kan niet wachten tot ik de nieuwe foto's - gemaakt door  Johan Nieuwenhuize en Alex Profit kan bewonderen... wat een inspiratie!
