Yesterday I visited the second edition of Design Passage. A project organized by Embassies of Design x WOTH Studio in the former telephone exchange in The Hague, I just always love exhibitions in this kind of buildings.

If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen some of the places I visited during Glue Amsterdam. On the blog I want to show you some of my favourites, keeping in mind I did not visited all locations, some just did not had the right opening times and some were to far out […]
Over the last years I regularly wrote about Dutch brands, and recently I teamed up with BRYCK. Their approach to indoor and outdoor lounging, combining style, comfort, and durability fits perfectly with my own aesthetics.

Na verschillende mooie perstrips de afgelopen maanden waarbij ik mocht afreizen naar mijn geliefde Italië en het mooie Kopenhagen en de recente beurs bezoeken, is er weer een wat rustigere periode aangebroken en zijn we aangekomen bij de laatste maanden van het jaar.

Outdoor season is almost here! I personally can’t wait for the days to get longer and the sun to show itself more often. When spring arrives, outdoor living starts with a thorough cleaning of my patio and taking care of the plants. I fill the large black containers with new plants and others are trimmed […]
My grandmother on my father’s side was a strong lady with her own shop in the Amsterdam area ‘De Pijp’. Descended from Frisian ancestors, a beautiful portrait of a family member in full costume hung above her bed at her apartment in one of the characteristic streets of Amsterdam South. Having Frisian roots myself makes […]
You might have seen the sneak peek from my patio on Instagram, where I shared my new BRYCK Two- Seater. A design couch by Dutch label BRYCK that is suitable for outside, but will also look perfect inside your home. My patio is not really big, and after some measuring, a two seater with hocker […]
