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…
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…
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…
And just like that…
…the new issue of Est Mag is now live! Some of the things I liked best: • A sneak peek into the property and studio of Jackson Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner. The studio floor reveals the colors and gestures of almost every painting he did from 1947 to 1952. • Of course there Read article…
Product Power

A few years ago Eastpak already introduced Tyvek bags in black and white but these bags from the "Papier" series by Saskia and Stefan Diez have better designs. They are extremely lightweight and exceptionally robust, both water- and Read article…
This is a couple
For the last few years, Parisian brand The Kooples has been featuring real life couples in all of their ad campaigns. Yohji Yamamoto has been doing this for many years. At early july's V&A's Fashion in Motion catwalk event, real London couples modelled menswear and womenswear pieces from the archive of Yohji Yamamoto. So cute! Read article…
A light breeze
With the mercury reaching temperatures of up to 37°C (100°F) here in France, the world smells so much better. Nothing beats the wonderful smell of fresh air and sunshine, sunscreen, outdoor bbq's, seaside and fresh lemon drinks. This asks for some light and airy designs. Here are a few of my current favorites. J3 Production Read article…
Light & Airy
The Midsummer night celebrations marked the opening of the warmest season with a new slower rhythm. Late nights outside, counting the stars… or sky lanterns! The world record attempt of most sky lanterns flown simultaneously in Poland looks just magical. I wonder if they are using the biodegradable and more animal friendly version with flame Read article…
This ain’t no disco
Why do so many office workplaces look so dull and impersonal? Neutral colors, cheap art reproductions on the walls, an awful carpet, rental plants, and the same standard office desks with matching stationery sets. We spend so much time working, that I think our work environment should be a comfortable, beautiful yet functional place. We Read article…
