One of the things that I was looking forward to in Italy, was the delicious food. Not that I lack of delicious food here at home: we have so many beautiful French products and of course I have my own private chef. But still: Italian food also has a reputation 😉 Of course our lovely Read article…

Hay Mini Market in Milan
You didn't need a map to find the Hay showroom during the Salone del Mobile in Milan: you could simply follow the cool folks sporting the limited edition Wrong for Hay totes to get there. It's the first time since 2008 that Danish furniture & accessory brand Hay and sister brand Wrong for Hay were Read article…
Italian Wisteria
The number of times that we sighed and smelled wisteria during our Blago trip, were countless. I haven't seen any wisteria here in the Oise yet, but in Italy they were blooming on every street corner. And because unfortunately I cannot include perfumes on my blog (yet!), I tried to capture the purple flowering plant Read article…
Patterns in Milan
My five days in Italy with friends were bright and colorful, just like the tiles above at Temakinho in Milan. We walked for hours along several lakes, enjoyed the abundant sunshine, ate the most delicious Italian food, had many interesting conversations, laughed a lot, smelled the blooming wisteria on every street corner, got our design Read article…

Behind my desk
It almost feels like I have to earn my trip to Italy for #blago2014 next week: I've been working around the clock these past few weeks. Working from home, I get to design my own home office and it's not so bad: my ever growing and changing moodboard reminds me of previous trips and beautiful Read article…
Going back to Italy
In a week from now I'll be on a plane to Italy! It has been well over a decade since my last visit and I'm super excited to go back. When I was 16 I was very impressed by the Italian guys and Italian shoes. At 17 it was lambrusco that made my head spin Read article…

The Broken Arm in Paris
My days in Paris are always packed. I try to get most out of my time in the city, before taking the train home to our just-outside-the-banlieue city. This means: meetings with clients, a visit to an exhibition or conference, random walks, a little shopping at Uniqlo or COS and the best part: meeting with Read article…
