... a housing project on the norwegian island of svalbard
saw a documentary by jan gehl
a danish architect
he's trying to decipher why old towns and cities are usually
pleasant places to live in and why new architecture fails
to do so
... we kind of lost ourselves going to the moon
wood helps
posting is back to normal from today

lotte geeven - it was getting late
cup made of cassava starch
vegware
feel free to call them
if the material inspires you
and if you're in london you can
visit 'up all night' at the central st. martins innovation gallery
chris kindly invited me to the private viewing
which i have to miss unfortunately
the exhibition is part of the london design festival
jugs jars & pitchers
would have been on my wish list as well

lara alegre
dwellstudio
i'm surrounded by various pots and pans
to wash and mordant the new fabrics
.. they're in the kitchen , the bathroom
with memo's on them for time lines
i'll be happy when this part is over
saying that makes me happier already
it's just kind of mind numbing
... so for some more mind tingling :

studio juju
timo wong
... got a nice e-mail from timo
i was fascinated with the temperature
device he designed
it's wireless and all the patients in the hospital
can be monitored in case of a hospital bacteria f.e.
it must be strapped around your belly or wrist
he works together with priscilla lui
to form studio juju
... now timo is an industrial designer ...
could you please design a nice vacuum cleaner
usable in europe ...
... just had to try

made a drop because it looked so beautiful
when i put some water on wool
...beauty comes in many forms
like in a wonderful documentary by kim longinotto
hold me tight let me go
about beautiful children
bed cover from h+m
...maybe beauty is something you can feel
not just see
it seems so to me

... dyeing yarn for brooke
has been an inspiring journey
learned so many new things
f.e. natural dyes are not only ph sensitive
but also heat sensitive
well i knew that but it is fascinating to watch
when you mix 3 different dyes
bought a book by j.n.liles
... very helpful from a technical
point of view
i'm waiting for the last skeins to dry up

... went to the filmmuseum at the vondelpark
they have these lounge benches ... it was great
top picture : an apartment around the corner
bottom : sage
... i should get back to work soon
combining it with hanging around in the park
is a good idea

... in a very optimistic mood i bought a pair of sandals
summer isn't over yet ...
we went to the sea in the hague and walked the pier
rebuild in the sixties
when the sand isn't very nice
you need lot's of entertainment
i guess
love the new humanoid collection
