Calling on our readers

It's been a while since you last heard from us, but at the beginning of a new year it's always a tad busier. Apart from that, I realized inspiration is not something you can automatically invoke. You have to feed it. And that is why I'm calling on you, my dear readers. If there's something you want us to write about, feel free to leave a comment. Or if you've bought something in our online store and you have remarks or questions, we're always happy to help you via our blog as well.

In our search of beautiful, original or even bizarre decor items we bumped into some very interesting products. The Festival Chair or Dutch Design Chair - which has just celebrated its Copper Jubilee - is quite the invention:



In the picture you see an example of how it can look like, as companies choose the design themselves. It's excellent for events and music festivals. Tim Várdy - who is originally a pianist - is the designer of this carton board stool. We might order it this summer:)

Something else we bumped into and really liked is the Après Lamp by François Chambard:




This lamp is part of a collection that was created by salvaged and reclaimed parts of a devastated store right after Superstorm Sandy crossed the East Coast of the USA. The result is amazing, don't you think?

That's it for now! We'll get back to you this week with some great news.

See you then!

New beginnings

2013 has kicked off and we hope it may bring you everything you wish for. Apart from new dreams, resolutions and ambitions, a new year also means new trends in basically every area. But we're gonna stick to the ones in interior design :) 

As we've mentioned earlier on our Facebook page, the colour of the year 2013 will be:


Except for this Emerald Green, other highly fashionable colours are soft pastel pink, cobalt blue, turquoise, copper and gold yellow.
According to Stijlidee you can use these colours to accentuate certain areas in a room and they go very well with basic colours such as white, grey, black and earthy shades.

This rather sleek colour trend suits the popular Scandinavian design perfectly. The minimalistic approach that has its roots in the 50's and 60's is back in a new and more modern version: 




In our last blog message you could read that we're preparing our new collection. The new products will be available soon, but we would like to show you a little preview of what you can expect in the very near future. Of course we took the 2013 trends into account ;)
So here it is:


Feel free to post a reaction with your opinion.

See you next time!
