Edvard Mirror : JEAN FRANCOIS D’OR

Starting from a simple geometrical shape, this truncated conical mirror allows different positions for different kind of functions. Fixing on wall, the mirror is a sort of megaphone that makes the wall scream for reflection. Hence the name EDVARD, after the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch, the man behind the painting ‘The Scream’.

Iskos Berlin : Under the Bell

While searching for a new pendant lamp for our dining table I stumbled across this big fat lamp, Under The Bell. Really great, but, what do you think, do we need a loft ceiling height for this lamp? I'm really unsure.... They write: Under the Bell is not just a lmapshade, as it hangs over the table, it creates a room within a room - like a dome encasing a building...

*update: ordered

 

 

The exchange : supermodels

How do you say it in English: to kill two birds with one stone?! In Swiss German we only kill flys, but anyway: the new hotspot in Amsterdam is the hotel THE EXCHANGE. Students of the Amsterdam Fashion institute dressed the hotel rooms like models on a catwalk. Smart idea?! Why am I talking about birds? The link is from a (for me) new blog April and May, wonderful creative moods... Thank you!

First of all, I need nice things : created to make contemporary art collectable and affordable. It's really hard to choose.....

 

open space : Fred van't Slot

To be honest, I'm a big lover of open space houses or flats, but i'm also bear in mind that this is a big challenge for the interior conception. When I saw pictures of this flat, I was really impressed, I think this open space concept is really good!
