I have a few more beauties from Maison & Objet to share with you. Over the week I checked the M&O coverage and realized I didn't get to see at least 80%, but I'm happy to show you the booth of my January crush: Hartô. This time around, this fresh brand from Paris presented a Read article…

Mama mia, Mamama!
A pale pink stand and a brand called Mamama: for an instant I thought this had to do something to do with mamas and children. But mama mia! I was wrong! Mamama is a French design company specializing in innovative tableware. At Maison & Objet they presented their Sfumato collection with 2 cups and 3 Read article…
Kristina Dam Studio
The new botanic photography posters by Kristina Dam are a real treat for Urban Jungle Bloggers with a thing for scandi design. There's magic in the misty posters Kristina made in collaboration with Danish photographer Tuala Hjarnø. For me, meeting the makers behind a product can completely change my perception of the work. When I Read article…
I love Love Reykjavík
It's one of these things that can be a dealmaker… or breaker: product display. At big tradeshows like Maison & Objet you'll see anything between a table and a white table cloth as a background, to stand designs in marble & (real!) gold. And somewhere in the middle you'll find creative people that create magic Read article…
Aufschnitt Berlin Textile Butchery
Yesterday I was at Maison & Objet in Paris and my first crush was a rather unexpected one. It took me two seconds to realize this was fresh and different (and let's admit: a little bit crazy too). Aufschnitt Berlin is a Textile Butchery: they create products that mimic regular sausage and meat products in Read article…
Our bathroom renovation #2
More than two months after the first update, it's time to show you some new images of our bathroom.

Urban Jungle Bloggers #10
This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic is a tricky one for me: creative plant pots – how to dress up your plants. It's tricky because I'm such a Betty Basic! I love plain plant pots with basic shapes and one color. Igor and I shared a few of our favorite plant pots on Facebook this Read article…
Kidimo in Paris
If I'll ever make it to Las Vegas, I want to visit the Neon Museum. It's basically a huge collection of old and newer signs that contributed to the history of the gambling capital of the world. From the pictures I've seen online, it's pretty rad (if you like signs of course). But if you Read article…
Les carrelages de Saint Samson
Last weekend was pretty eclectic. While we spent an afternoon at the races in Chantilly, we also drove to the western part of the Oise, to visit an old factory where they produce terracotta floor tiles. There is something about old factories, the beautiful decay, old signs, red bricks, the history. Remember the Sugar Factory? Read article…
