Curves and Craftsmanship at Aesop Rue des Francs-Bourgeois

When I walk through my hometown Amsterdam, I can’t help but notice that one shop after another seems to be slowly disappearing.

A new dining concept by Marie Michielssen for Serax | Jeanne

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 […]

My Paris guide | The Caravane house

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.
