SOMETHING NEW

Let’s end 2013 with something new! 

CUSTOM MADE JOURNAL

 A lady with a special request; she's had a Filofax with leather cover for many years. But she was looking for something special that no one else has. She saw my work at an event and ordered a custom made journal for 2014.

HELLO FROM COLOGNE

About 3 months ago I received a mail from Smilla Dankert, she was looking for an architect to get to know the view of a modern thinking architect living and working in Bruges, a UNESCO world heritage site. 

FROM THE KNEES OF MY NOSE...

‘From the Knees of my Nose to the Belly of my Toes’ is the full title of this surrealistic installation by Alex Chinneck. It seems like the façade is sliding down into the front yard.

LOCAL TALENT

Dit weekend is het opnieuw ‘buren bij kunstenaars’. Een goeie gelegenheid om lokaal talent te ontdekken. Gisteren ben ik er zelf op uit getrokken om een paar ateliers te bezoeken met mijn lijstje op zoek naar moois, een selectie …

BUREN BIJ KUNSTENAARS 2013

Me and many other designers, artists, craftsmen will open our doors during 'buren bij kunstenaars', from Friday 18th until Sunday 20th October.
The doors of my studio will be open on Saterday 19th and Sunday 20th, 13h30 - 18h.
Everyone is welcome!

K-BENCH

Recycling has become a key issue in our society. Recycling of waste, energy, water … In the design of the K-BENCH recycling is the keyword.

In the latest edition of A+ (renowned magazine about Belgian architecture) there’s an article about innovative material applications and they talk about my K-BENCH!

ENDLESS STAIR

Endless Stair was the Landmark Project for the London Design Festival 2013.

SERWEYTENS TURNS RED

PREPARING for OEVERTURE

These preparations are for Oeverture, a design circuit in the city centre of Ghent along the Leie.
I’m not exhibiting alone,

HOLIDAY TREASURES

A personal view on our trip to Munich, things I spotted or found … my holiday treasures.

MUNCHEN part 3: CITY CENTRE

You can't visit the city centre in 1 day, here a selection of our highlights:

MUNCHEN part 2: SILENT WITNESS

If you travel to Munich don’t forget to visit this silent witness of cruelty,
the concentration camp of Dachau.

MUNCHEN part 1: SUBURB

We spent our holiday in Munich. Munich is the third biggest city of Germany (after Berlin and Hamburg) and has a lot more to offer than the Oktoberfest, Munich’s beer Festival. We went for the architecture …
This is part 1 of our trip to Munich, the outskirts of Munich.

SUMMER*GARDEN*BIRTHDAY

Summer is great so far!  Spending summer in our garden ... celebrating my birthday mid-Summer...

Plenty of sunshine, surrounded with flower, my square feet garden is growing and growing...

Enjoy a small tour in our garden! 

A MAN'S WALLET

In an earlier post I promised you some pictures of a custom made wallet, because a wallet is rather important for a man! In that post I also explained the making of a man's wallet. Now I give you some examples of different wallets I make.

CLOUD OF STEEL

For the 13th time, Serpentine Gallery selected an architect to design the 2013 Pavilion.  This year the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion was designed by the multi award winning Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto.

MOVIE for CURE

Quartier Bricolé will present a movie during Summerschool in Utrecht ...

HANDMADE FOR HIM

A wallet is rather important for a man. It has to be presentable and functional at the same time.
It has to have the right size; it shouldn’t be too big or too small. Some want a bi-fold, some a tri-fold, black leather, brown leather …

IN BETWEEN

Just something in between ...

ON A ROOF

An attic converted to a cosy lounge with a marvellous roof terrace! I designed it in 2012.
Do you want to know the story behind it?

EXPO in GERMANY

As part of the CURE business lab project, my work was presented in Dinslaken (Germany) at the end of April, begin May.

RED

Red is absolutely my favourite colour!

LOUVRE LENS

I simply love Japanese architecture because everything is so serene, harmonious and with great respect. 

COLCHESTER

A few months ago, my husband and I visited Colchester as part of the CURE European Business Lab.

GOLDEN HANDS

I was a guest at Anne Perneel her pottery during crafts day. On that day craftsman from all over Belgium open their doors. (Nederlands onderaan)

GET ORGANIZED IN STYLE

I’ve had many different planners before. None of them worked for me.

METROPOL PARASOL

The Metropol Parasol is the largest wooden structure in the world. This fascinating parasol is designed by Jurgen Mayer H. and received a red dot design award.

GET ORGANIZED

I’m making my own weekly planner/ organizer/ notebook/ scrapbook. Everything is prepared and I use it already, but I still have to put it together...

Read all about in this next post.

ICY TREES

Until yesterday, everything was covered with snow. The light is so special when everything is white and icy. Snow, a frozen canal and icy trees look always nice on a photo. Unfortunately we couldn't skate on the ice.

NICE TO MEET YOU

A contemporary craft fair is a nice way of meeting new people ...
