Enfin! Finally I went to see the huge Jean Paul Goude Retrospective: Goudemalion at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris. It closes in a few weeks and was still loaded with visitors. It showed an impressive amount of beautifully mounted photos, lots of famous images and some new ones. The only thing missing in my opinion Read article…

Studio Sapique in Ihome magazine
A few months ago the editor of Ihome magazine (from Shanghai) approached me to feature our home in their magazine. Last week I received the hard copy in an over-stamped envelope, which made me smile. Thanks Cindy! It's such an honor to see 4 spreads of Studio Sapique in a glossy magazine. The interview is Read article…
Snow white without snow
With a particularly hot winter (sofar), we have to satisfy our cravings for snow somewhere else. What about a white Tyvek® bag by Maybe Bags? Super light, crumpled up in your suitcase of main bag, it carries everything and makes it a simple & beautiful everyday bag. Another great range of show white everyday products Read article…
Een gelukkig nieuw jaar
A very happy new year to all! For over 30 years my family and I have this ongoing New Years card photo project. Every year we send out black & white photos with our best wishes for the new year, in stead of traditional x-mas cards. It's always very exciting (and sometimes a real struggle) Read article…
Mundane crafting
This week I have been really enjoying Jonathan Lo's updates on his christmas tree ornaments project. He created geo/faceted objects from foam which turned out pretty cool. Most of all I like his style (his gift guides are great too!) and the way he writes&tweets about this project really inspires me. And in case you Read article…
Wrap a gift
People who know me well enough, know that I have a special something for gift wrapping. My workshop is filled with empty boxes, tissue & wrapping paper and tons of ribbons. This time of the year when I'm in the middle of buying x-mas gifts for my family, I'm already looking forward to the moment Read article…
460 Kids
One of my side projects for the past 6 years, is the creation of Christmas cards for an elementary school in the Netherlands, together with my father. I don't fully recall how it started in 2005, but we decided to photograph all the children of the entire school and group them per school class. A Read article…
So Far, So Goude
Before settling in France in 2002, I never heard of Jean Paul Goude. However I was familiar with his work. It is pretty impossible to take a Parisian metro without meeting up with Goude en route. Or to think of Grace Jones without remembering his graphic & avant-garde imagery of this goddess of disco. And Read article…
Pantoufles
When it's cold outside, what's better than cocooning, staying cozy at home? I always want to keep my feet and nose as warm as possible. I haven't found a solution for keeping my nose warm (except from drinking hot tea) but for my feet I found many solutions. My favorite are my pink/grey Camper Wabi's. Read article…
Studio Sapique on Design*Sponge
It is no secret that I am proud of my home. Seven years of hard work, blood sweat and tears, frustration, good news, helping hands, challenges and lots of endurance made it into a very special place. So very special that this week our home was featured on Design*Sponge! It has been very exciting to Read article…
