An office designed by Vincenzo De Cotiis

Nonostante Marras concept store | Fuorisalone 2017

I kept this store a bit as a secret for myself and have to admit that beside a picture in an editorial I made together with a friend and some photo’s on Instagram I have never posted any of last years pictures, it was an exhibition that made me cry, as it felt so close […]

The bunker liking 5,500-square-foot rough concrete cube was bought it in 2012 as his weekend home and he and a group of friends spent a day hacking away part of the upperfloor walls till they had four […]

Rick Owens New York City store

Being a huge admirer of the Milan store of Rick Owens I love to share some pictures of the new New York Store at 30 Howard Street that recently opened it’s doors. Just like in Milan we see lots of concrete and even more minimalistic white, which is also my favourite combination. The New York […]

BURNING EGO | WDSTCK

  Yet another great piece of art made by WDSTCK, the Burning Ego is made with an ancient woodworking technique from Japan that burns away the soft parts of the wood. The design of the lamp arose from a search for balance between the cultivated and the a-symmetric design of Mother Nature. By letting the […]
