Arpin 1817

In the Savoie last week, our friends told us to go to Arpin 1817. The factory has been classified as a living heritage company. 14 machines are listed on the National heritage register and in active service....
'It is these machines, and the hands that operate them, generation after generation, which give Arpin fabrics all their individuality and their unique qualities, as striking to see as to touch. Master wool worker, Master weaver, overseer, upholsterer, quilter…. these noble, ancestral trades continue to live on within the Factory. '

Volkskrant Magazine

 

 

Last Saturday in Volkskrant Magazine, the house of Marina van Goor. I am not going to try to catch her interior in words, her talent for beauty, eye for old and new. Enjoy. Ontwerpstudio Marina van Goor. Pictures by Jeltje Janmaat.

Marian Cramer

Dutch photographer Jeltje took these photos at Marian Cramers house which resulted in an article in the Residence, March 2012. Styling by me. Marian's family home is, apart from an amazing mixture of antique, design and art, also a home gallery. An inspiring and sophisticated place. Do visit her website and gallery,
