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. '

Chalet Style

Mountain inspiration in the Savoie, Tarentaise. 

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.

Stapelen

Of het handig is... maar ik ben er wel dol op, stapelen. Dozen, kistjes.... wat onderop staat, heb je niet nodig... hoop ik.

Back home

New York, you made me smile and sparkle.... 

Rio de Janeiro

Rio on my mind. Beauty these abstract stone mosaic sidewalks of Rio, seen in The New York Times

At home

There is this weekly article in a Dutch newspaper about interiors which i like to read. One of the questions: 'what's from Ikea in your home?' Undertone, eeks Ikea... I happen to like my Ikea PS items at home, www.ikea.com.

CookBook

Some of my favourite pics from Janneke's cookbook 'Comfort Food'. Foodstyling by Ingmar Niezen and Ulrika Gustafsson, pictures by Sean Fitzpatrick.

Janneke and i go way back, secondary school, Au Pair in Brussels. We lived in the same dorm during university, where i experienced her cooking skills. Good food 24/7, midnight pasta with friends, making serious diner for our parents. If that wasn't enough, at that time she dated a German guy, whose father had a Konditorei!

More about Janneke and her (Dutch) cookbooks on www.etenenzo.nl/comfort-food.
