There are a number of stores I never skip when I am in Milan, and although most of the furniture was shipped to LA because of a Birckenstock collaboration I still enjoyed my visit to Rick Owens’ store. I guess the large furniture pieces, as seen in this exhibition I showed on the blog before: Subhuman […]
There are a few Dutch companies I always visit when in Milan. For many years Piet Boon could be found in zona Tortona and breakfast with the company was part of my yearly Milan design week. So is a meetup with NLXL, who always have the best parties. I have build up a long time […]

Distracted raw walls were the backdrop for the different lighting, including the new Act III series, furniture and objects […]

I especially was impressed by wall light ‘Peel’ that looks as if a corner of a wall were peeling and […]

On the first night I visited the opening of Beacon’s Wild, Weird and Wonderful exhibition in Brera. Later on in the […]
