After the Xmas tree and styling is out of the house I can use some new fresh colors and styling items.

I love the bluegreyish paint, the coper facet pendant, the glass color vases and the fresh and clean look.

Do you like it?

You can find more inspiration and the items on Housedoctor

Nadat alle kerst items de deur uit zijn had ik wel behoefte aan wat nieuwe en frisse styling items. Ik vind het blauwgrijze van de wanden fantastisch ( lievelings kleuren zijn bij mij veel blauw, grijs, turqoise en petrol achtige tinten) En de glazen gekleurde objecten en vazen vind ik ook prachtig. Maar het meest “in love” ben ik met de facet koper lamp.

En jij? vind meer inspiratie op HouseDoctor.

A New Year

Tip 2014 | Design | Trend spotting | Alexa Lixfeld | Glasswood

Alexa Lixfeld | Glasswood

I know when I spot something special…

And this is definitely one of them:

The work of Alexa Lixfeld.

I’ve seen her work at DDW13 at Piet Hein Eek’s place and knew it immediately…..

This is something different…

So for the new start of 2014 I wanted to share her work with you:

Glasswood by Alexa Lixfeld

Please look, read and enjoy!

Alexa Lixfeld | Glasswood

The glass elements are mouth-blown and handmade in the Czech Republic. And the wooden molds normally give the glass their shape, but Alexa combined these two elements:

“I was struck by the relationship that grows during production between these beautiful oak molds and the hot glass, each leaving its mark on the other,“ says Lixfeld. “Working with existing shapes has always been a point of interest to me. These molds, just fuel for the kilns after they were discarded, had a beauty of their own, which is never seen. Keeping the glass pieces and their molds together once the production was over offered me an opportunity to put that beauty on display. It also provided a much greater tension to the glass, because of the contrast in texture between its shiny and colorful skin and the worn out appearan- ce of the mold. It equally gave me the opportunity to show the process that led to the finalized product. Alexa`s productions have always been non-industrial, away from the standard and norm. GlassWood is no exception: each duo comes a perfect couple, with a unique identity. I re- use an old mold to serve as a base for one glass object. It creates a unique mold-glass combina- tion, and you cannot have the same coupling twice.”

In the process of making this work, Alexa Lixfeld gives coincidence and surprise a big role:

“I chose the color of the glass, and decided where and how to cut it, but after that the project became an interaction with the surroundings, finding potential in what was given, working hands-on with the artisans. My work is essentially about bringing together what is already there, but which remained disconnected. A great number of de- signers start from scratch, and then define the product in every detail. If you take that as a norm, I’m less a product designer than a process designer, a facilitator, someone who makes things possible.”

Trend Seminar | Consumenten trends
David Shah en Christine Boland

15 oktober 2013

door Appletizer

Wil je ook altijd weten wat de nieuwste trends zijn? Ga dan net als ik naar het trendseminar van David Shah en Christine Boland op 15 oktober 2013 in Amsterdam, georganiseerd door Appletizer

Info van de site van Appletizer:

Clearly, consumers are feeling disappointed, disaffected and disconnected by the crisis of capitalism, by the banking systems and by digital ubiquity. Luxury and middle-level consumers alike, are taking a deep breath, standing back from their busy, hyper-connected lifestyles and asking themselves; what really matters to me? Consumers are seeking an escape from their busy lifestyle and aspiring to a new set of values.
(David Shah).

Of u nu designer bent of directeur, retailer of fabrikant, werkzaam in fashion of non-fashion, om morgen ook succesvol te zijn zal uw bedrijf oplossingen moeten bieden om te voorzien in de nieuwe mind-set van consumenten; van nieuwe manieren om de digitale opdringerigheid te regulieren, via holistische spirituele locaties, naar producten en diensten die (oprecht) het welzijn van de consument nastreven. Dit seminar is bedoeld voor iedereen die zich bezighoudt met de toekomst van zijn of haar organisatie en wie trends & toekomstverkenningen als succesfactor daarvoor wil inzetten.

Wil je ook naar dit seminar?
Kijk dan op de site van Appletizer voor meer info.

Zie ik je daar?
