The first fair of the new year, Maison & Objet. I loved last years January edition and spending three days in Paris the first day I visited the actual Maison & Objet Fair. Next to getting a glimpse at the many exhibitioners, the fair is also a place to network. Meeting new brands that are […]
When in Paris for Maison & Objet you don’t want to miss the simultaneous Paris Déco Off and Paris Déco Home, where you can explore the latest trends in interior design. These events were held across numerous galleries, stores, and special locations, with Hôtel de l’Industrie at Saint-Germain-des-Prés standing out as a key venue. The […]
A real highlight last week in Paris was visiting Boon Room again. The edition house of Boon Editions, a design studio of functional art & limited edition designs that brings together contemporary aesthetics with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship. Their commitment to contemporary, bespoke furniture, and avant-garde design is evident in each edition, showcasing a […]
Last week, when in Paris, I visited several galleries in the area and like each time, I am overwhelmed by the amount of galleries, stores and overall beauty. Charles Zana showroom was one of my favorites, impressed by the use of black wood and brass partitions in the gallery, I snapped a few images to […]
When I walk through my hometown Amsterdam, I can’t help but notice that one shop after another seems to be slowly disappearing. Rents are high and for many shops it’s payback time, after they received help from the government during the pandemic. I enjoy beautiful shops and even started an entire website about interior shops […]

This refined philosophy blends the romance of historical craftsmanship […]
Before heading to Milan for Milan design week, a last update from when I visited Paris last January. After reading an article about Rozemarijn de Witte and Pierre Traversier’s Parisian gallery, Arrogant Verneuil I was curious to visit their boutique and Open House and get a sneak peek into their world. I previously visited their hotel […]
It was not that I was not familiar with the Leclaireur stores, when in Paris I often visited the store in the Marais at Rue de Sévigné. But it was by accident when walking in Rue Herold, two men stepped out of an enormous door and I got a glimpse of a beautiful entrance… only […]
It was love at first sight when visiting Pierre Augustin Rose last month in Paris. Over time I have created a long list of places I love to visit when in Paris. And the gallery was on my list for some time. Next to visiting the Maison & Objet fair, I stayed two days in […]
At the beginning of January I also visited the Serax showroom in Paris, where I was deeply impressed by ‘Jeanne’, Marie Michielssen’s new furniture line for Serax. In recent years she has focused more on designing furniture and objects with which she herself has a deep connection. Her furniture collection Jeanne and her first tableware […]
I was happy to have booked a few days more when I was in Paris for Maison & Objet and Paris Design week. Although I love being in company and it is always more fun to explore all the old and new Paris has to offer. I do not hesitate to travel alone or hop […]
Let’s talk about Paris this week! Through the years the name of my blog makes many of you thinking I live in Paris, but it’s nothing more than a nickname I created on an interior design forum in 2007 which expressed my affection for the city. When discovering blogging that same year I just continued […]
