The Home of Annebet Phillips

Bloesem Living | GetYourKicksOn

 

Do you remember the post 'Get Your Kicks on' … well today Anke and Kim are showing us this housetour shot in the interesting home of Dutch designer, Annebet Philips. Not only does A have the most quaint home, her works fit right into that space. We love how her designs have literally found their homes, in her home!

As a Delft University of Technology student a few years ago, Annebet took the time to pursue  her own design projects and set up her studio in 2012. Her works are recognizable by their bold shapes and graphic features like the outlines on her My couch, my canvas. Another one of my favorite works of hers is the Knotted lamp! 

Firstly, it is so unusual it wouldn't strike you that it was a lamp at first glance. Also, its exaggerated size gives me a sense of fantasy and imagination. 

Annebet has shown us how her works have come alive in her home. The red and black accents in her pieces create a visual 'pop' in the space. They remind me of something out of an illustration, the graphic effect and the lines in her designs look like they have been drawn into the space itself. Simple yet eye-catching and wonderfully captured by the ladies from Get Your Kicks On!

Paper-flowers and Bubblevases

Bloesem Living | Jorine Oosterhoff

Hi, morning everyone! It's Zara starting a new week here at Bloesem Living … everyone loves having some fresh flowers around the house, they brighten the house up and make us happy when we catch sight of them while we rush about through out the day. Sadly, no matter how well we take care of fresh flowers, we have to face the harsh reality that they don't last long and soon we are left with a brown unsightly arrangement.

This year the Jorine Oosterhoff has came up with Paperflowers which were based on the concept of flowers you can keep forever… and that is exactly what I would do with these beautiful designs! They come in so many colors, designs and patterns, and would look gorgeous in any home! (especially somebody like me, with no ability to keep any kind of plants alive!)

Let's not forget about the amazing bubblevases the paperflowers are captured in in these photos! Inspired by soap bubbles, Jorine set out to capture their temporary beauty in these vases. Jorine captures the short-lived beauty of both the soap bubbles and flowers perfectly, we can't take our eyes of them!

Merging food and fantasy, her landscape cutlery would be great tools for getting children to eat their food.

Last year Bloesem was lucky enough to meet the duo from Burojet, Jorine Oosterhoff and Egbert-Jan Lam. Check out the interview and home tour here…

A BonBonBox with designer items just for you to pick and taste …. a great online shopping concept recently launched. The team behind BonbonBox shares the love for searching, choosing and collecting interesting products, inspiring images and funny stories…

By actually visiting the designers at their workplace and share their stories over at BonBonBox  makes it for you the customer a whole lot more fun to buy an item. I am planning to check in very often because BonBonBox refreshes their collection every week with new designers !

Only one more day left to order one of the awesome and award-winning TimeCapsules by my friend Anouk van der El. And don't forget to visit again in the days to come because new designers and products will be added to the shop … like these gorgeous porcelain cups by De Intuitie Fabriek.

Dutch Mountain House

Car_in_your_house

Ever thought of placing a car in your home? I haven't and I don't think I ever will but to be honest it does look kind of cool in this living room. The reason why I wanted to share this house today with you is because I love the architecture … DeNieuweGeneratie designed an underground house somewhere in a beautiful nature reserve in the Netherlands… trying to adapt the home to its surroundings in the best way possible and not disrupting the environment to much… perhaps that's why they parked the car inside 🙂 

I love it , what do you think?

Monday’s quick start: Maartje van den Noort

Maartje

We just spend our last weekend in the Netherlands after a beautiful summer and extreme nice weather… this week it is time to fly back to our 'normal' life in Asia. Always a bit sad to leave our family and friends again and knowing you will be going back to a life where you always feel a bit like a stranger but that is also the interesting and exciting part… and I am convinced that living in Singapore is best for me and my family at this point in our lives. I have said it so many times before but I do believe that SG has so much to offer and I just love the climate and sunshine …

But let's start this week with some beautiful work by Maartje van den Noort from the Ntehrlands whom I finally met in person …. very briefly though but nice enough to get an impression of this talented lady …

A while ago her home was featured here on Bloesem.

Monday’s quick start: NU leather handles

NU_handle-green

You might have seen them before but I still like them very much and thought these lovely leather handles by NU need to be shown here at Bloesem Living too. NU interieur | ontwerp is a design studio from the Netherlands …

When these couldn't find the perfect leather handle they were looking for, for one of their interior design projects they thought designing one themselves. Handle is available in different colors and in three sizes: S, M and L. You can order the handles in their shop right here.

Bed and Breakfast in Amsterdam

BedandBreakfast_jurianne

Often people ask me where to sleep when visiting Amsterdam … well this might be a good place to stay: the &Klevering apartment. Right in the city centre and a very authentic and typical Dutch ambiance.

Seeing so many design accessories in this B&B is no surprise as the owners are also the founders of &Klevering, a well-known home decoration shop here in Amsterdam. A visit to Amsterdam is not complete for me with a stop-over in one of their outlets.

The kitchen below is spot on, cool with the wood and green accessories.

I love seeing my friend Jurianne Matter her pop-up poster on the wall …

Gispen in Amsterdam

Gispen_ij

I am in Amsterdam! And working from our Amsterdam apartment is a true fest … so let's start with something typical Dutch this morning …

The Gispen chair … most Dutch people know what I am talking about and perhaps you do too? But did you know Gispen has a whole assortment of beautiful design pieces. In fact big names like Gerrit Rietveld designed furniture for this brand. 

When I saw the images of the 2013 collection over at Studio Aandacht I thought sharing with them today is a good idea.

Already 3 years in a row  Ben and Tatjana are responsible for the photography and styling and they are doing an amazing job if I may say… 

I totally agree with the 'Homework' section. Nowadays many people enjoy working at home, but forget to treat themselves (like me) with a proper office chair … I wish I could have one of these too. Must be so much more comfortable when working. 

Gispen's website and online shop is right here …

Monday’s quick start: translucency at RAW color

Rawcolor

Raw Color  did it again … Simply perfection and it combines all the things I love .. wool , colors and translucency.

Interior designers Van Eijk & Van der Lubbe were commissioned by a Dutch bank to renew  their office in Eindhoven. With the help from Daphna Laurens, Snodevormgevers and Ecological Textiles a stunning project has happened.
