cure for cold hands

in the colder seasons my table is always very cold, with numbing effect on hands during typing and studying. an old 120w lightbulb in a dismantled lampshade frame fixes the problem.

Dutch Design Week Eindhoven

bathtub
went to the dutch design week last week with artist-friend Kuin Heuff and raced through 3 venues full of dutch design, in search of design that gave us something new. A lot of what we saw were things and variations on things we already knew, and we tried to not be disappointed by that; after all, we have seen a lot over the years.
I found a few interesting designs on the graduation show of the design academie: a high bed shaped like a box, to use in a space where you would have no privacy in a regular bed, and a fabric bathtub for people with limited space. (I always like fold-able or multi functional designs...)


In the Strijp-s building the most interesting stand was from a 3d printing company that also gives designers a shop-function. You can upload your design, and when it is ordered it will be printed and sent directly to your client. I like the 3d printing concept very much, so in the future I might just use their services...

city poetry

the writing on these shutters says: I am not going to explain anything to anyone for a while, and it was written in my neighborhood where i past it month after month, and was intrigued by the person who wrote this. the owners of the building painted over it last year so i am happy i caught it on time

leek decoration & nutcracker bowls

leeks make a beautiful bunch of flowers and stay fresh
longer when they stand with their feet in a little water.
today they ended up in our dinner: pea soup.


cracking hazelnuts can be a messy job. 
we keep the nuts in one bowl and
stand it on top of another one
in which we collect the empty shells..
