 I really don't know which room I prefer...

In this stylish loftapartment I found everything that I could possibly like

the high wooden beamed ceilings, the fireplace, 

the black tipped parquet, the serene light,  the furniture, 

 the stunning contrast of black and white in combination with

 the grey shades and ofcourse the stunning loft with all its great possibilities

there are so much details to admire...

Starting this Monday with this inspiring and perfect apartment for sale

serve & store

my love for different kind of ceramics is still very strong

last week when I received the latest issue of the ELLE decoration.nl

my attention was instantly drawn when I saw the inspiring portret of Dutch
 philosopher, writer and designer Merel Kamp.

Merel was nominated for the Rijksstudio Award 2014, hosted by the Rijksmuseum
with the design of her Lamp Pouring Light (photo 3),  inspired by "het Melkmeisje",
the Milkmaids jug,  the famous painting of Dutch painter Vermeer 

Beside the beautiful lamp I was also attracted 
by her beautiful "Serve & Store" tableware collection

I really love the sober and matte design of this a great mix of 

plates and bowles in different shapes and sizes.

The tableware collection is designed to reduce the use of 

plastic film in the household,  each part of the set can be closed

 with another part of the set so there will be no plastic waste. 

see and read more about the work of Merel Kamp here or here

ps. unfortunately the tableware is not yet widely available. For a long time Merel has produced the collection
 by herself but now she is looking for a producer. Ofcourse you can always send a mail to Merel
 if you are interested in her work or if you would like to order something

                                                                                                      photos by Merel Kamp with thanks!

location love - "lasloods"

photos elvs

after a fantastic and sunny 

long weekend  at the dutch coast 

 it's great to start with this stunning workspace

I made these pictures this weekend 

while visiting a temporary (13-14-20-21 june) exposition

 in an old whellingfactory in my birth place Vlissingen.

I discoverd the expososition by coincidence

but I was attracted  immediately by the beautiful raw atmosphere 

just loved the inspiring industrial elements 

(as the concrete floors and walls, original details and vintage furniture

 made of used materials) of this gorgeous location in combination with

 the art works/photo exibibition,  mostly made of used materials

 found in- and around this historic industrial building

the building will be open for public on the 20th  and 21th of June

the project: ' If paradise is half as nice #4 ' is the art project of Dutch and German artists in different configurations.

They claim empty expired factory complexes for a short period to work and exhibit. The artists are inspired by the building and the surrounding area and in this way they create large installations, sculptures, wall paintings (often) specifically designed only for the building. The artist have worked together 3 times before in Leipzig (Germany) and this spring, they  work in the yard at the invitation of Culture Lasloods in Vlissingen.
