Dara Scully

Simply loving these gorgeous staged photographs by Spanish artist Dara Scully. We also appreciate Dara’s use of poetic language to speak about what influences her photography: “There’s a bird in my left lung, small and fragile, and he always speaks to me about beautiful things. I try to translate all these things to my pictures, his voice, mine.” Her passion is definitely reflected in her work.

A wink from the past

The Nostalgia collection by Dutch designer Bart van Didden is based on present forms combined with nostalgic bases with flower patterns. A wink from the past and forms found when treasure hunting through the collection of lampshades, bottle tops and bowls by his grandmother.

Bart van Didden is fascinated by the uniqueness of nature, translating it’s subtle purity into poetic stories.

The collection of Bart is amazing and his other work is really something to take a look at. Little treasures for your home with a unique and refined feeling.

Recycled home

At Baileys they love things that are well designed, well made and not too complicated or fussy - old or new.

Mark and Sally Bailey wrote 3 books, all of them very nicely done, I particulary like the book: "recycled home"

Pols Potten

Clear, innovative, tongue-in-cheek - every Pol’s Potten product shows its Dutch roots. However, for over 20 years, it’s those very same qualities that make our products feel right at home anywhere in the world. Most products are hand-made by local craftsmen. By producing in smal volumes, we ensure that your eye-catcher doesn’t catch everybody else’s.



De producten van Pols Potten zijn helder, innovatief, ironisch, humoristisch en hebben Nederlandse roots. Al 20 jaar zorgen deze eigenschappen ervoor dat de producten van Pols Potten zich overal thuis voelen. De meeste producten zijn handgemaakt door lokale vakmensen. Elk product is dus uniek.

All you need is less

When my head is spinning with billions of ideas, I long for this.

The simplicity of this office space is truly liberating.

The white oak wooden floors, just a few pieces of furniture and there is peace of mind.

Speaking of Alice in Wonderland, I have to make a post on Maison Moschino in Milan, Italy. Famous fashion house Moschino have created this very luxurious and quirky hotel, a must for any fashionista visiting Italy. The rooms all have different themes, like Little red riding hood, Alice's room, Zzzzzzzz, Clouds or Sleeping in a ballgown.
