Furniture

I love showing work of young Dutch Designers. This time I want to showcase some of the work of Michel Dickhaut, who designs and makes wonderful wooden furniture. His work shows his great craftmanship and has a strong and a bit of a rough look to it. I am especially in love with these drawers. For more on Michel's work visit his webiste (in Dutch) www.micheldickhaut.nl.

I'm really loving this apartment. It is sexy and stylish and has so much character. Not too sure about the red carpet in de bedroom though. But everything else is fabulous.

In love with the Sahara stool by Dutch designer Chris Ruhe

I'm in love with this stool Sahara by Dutch designer Chris Ruhe. I first saw it at the Dutch Design Week and thought it was stunning. I love the look - clean, simple and beautiful - and I also love the ingenuity of the design. The Sahara stool is made out of wavy wooden rings that bounce while you sit on it which is great for an active way of sitting. The stool is made out of solid European wood and the seat can be covered with leather a comes in various heights. For more information visit the website www.chrisruhe.nl(in Dutch).

Happy handmade leather carpets - Feliz

If this carpet doesn't make you happy none will. This is the beautiful handmade carpet Feliz by Dutch designer Manon Juliette. The Feliz carpet is made out of leftover leather and made in Brasil by disadvantaged people. Juliette designed the carpets in such a way that no sewing machine is needed so any size or shape is possible. And the carpet is available in many different colours. This is truly a unique product that not only looks beautiful in your home but helps the disadvantaged in Brasil. Now that has to make you Feliz!

More Mo Man Tai

More fabulous design by Mo Man Tai at the Dutch Design Week! Last week was the Dutch Design Week and I decided to check it out last saturday. Me and some friends took the train to the city of Eindhoven where this great design event was being held. I saw realy fab things that I will be blogging about this week. So stay tuned!

One of the great things I saw was some fabulous new work of the label Mo Man Tai by designer Ulrike Jurklies. I had the pleasure to meet Ulrike briefly at the event and she's as lovely as I expected her to be. I have posted on her work a short while ago here. This time I want to show you her wonderful recycled furniture. Ulrike takes second hand tables and gives them new lives by adding a layer of etched stainless steel. For this project Ulrike joined forces with Roel van Hove of Etsprit to create a classic lace pattern in stainless steel ging the old furniture a funky and modern new look. Don't you just love these tables? For more information visit the website www.momantai-design.com.
