photosynthesis

photosynthesis lamp by Meirav Barzilay, the plant becomes the lampshade, creating a unique light pattern.

off

i'll be off for a few days.
On friday 29/4 the documentary film festival starts in Leuven.
There's many films i want to see, like Pina, a 3d ode to
choreographer Pina Bausch or the rough but poetic Living room
of the nation that has these trailers that make me giggle...
enjoy your week!

gumpp

not only a trend in fashion, i just found some fluo in furniture too. design by max and hannes gumpp for abr.

fluo

a little bit of fluo for this summer? i would stick to the belt,
but i like the more daring outfits too.
(rue blanche and essentiel)

mountaineer

a smile on my face. You can actually buy your favorite
mountain here. In a small scale version.

swing

the plantless swing looks horrible, but when your plants
start to grow, it kindof becomes idyllic. Wonder if this could
be made in wood.

beutel

i love these handpainted bags by monja gentschow

IOU

being a blogger has its advantages, i received an email from
Kavita to tell me about the IOU project, in which
unique fabrics and clothes will be created and each
product's story will be shared with the new owner.
Quite like that idea in today's anonymous world.

camper bike

Kaat showed me this eco-friendly travel idea. kevin cyr
built this camper bike. Can hardly imagine the Dutch on the
first day of holidays all hopping on their camperbike to
head to their camping spot :)

zakka nouveau

'london fog' and 'needle in haystack' tea towels by zakka nouveau.

in almost every picture

you might already have heard of kesselskramer's series of
found footage booklets in which he shows a series of
pictures that he (usually) finds in flea markets, that
tell a special and obvious story, no words needed.
In this booklet he shows a series of +60 pictures of a
family's attempt to make a decent picture of their dark
black dog. Unfortunately, due to their limited camera,
the dog always ends up as a black 'blob'.

lost & found in beijing

a stunning furniture shop in Beijing! i found it through
heart charlie, whose boyfriend has opened this store on the
other side of the world.

clé et jeanne

again a poetic collection by vestiaire de clé. I like the beige coat.

mierzoet

today, when i arrived from work, a little sicilian cannolishop
was opened in antwerp central station. I never tried cannoli,
but i love the sound of the word (i hear it in 'the sopranos'
all the time) and i felt like saying it out loud "one cannoli please",
and spoiling myself.

more colours

irregular shaped objects by vasa. Would love to have
one on my bookshelf to see the light fall into it.

blue

i'm a fan of little colour touches, i really love this blue chair
by 'de derriere les fagots'.

Xavier Brisoux

i'm really fond of the verzameldwerk gallery. Last week they
organised the workshop, now they're doing a presale
of xavier brisoux's winter collection. (2 days only)
