Histor 101 karakters cabinet - Memories of the desert

Earlier I've annouched on this blog that I was really happy to paint one of the cabinets Piet Hein Eek designed for Histor's competition 101 karakters. I've blogged about my mood board before and my theme for this cabinet was Memories of the Desert. When I received the cabinet I felt totally in love with the simplicity of this cabinet, you can see the photo's here. For this competition I had to paint this cabinet with the Histor perfect finish. To choose the colours out of all those beautiful colours was a pleasure. I decided to work with the colours Loom, Lei and Ogenblik. But while I was painting this cabinet, I really loved the simplicity and neutral look of the colours Loom and Lei. So that's why I decided not to paint with Ogenblik anymore. I'd love to paint with these colours of Histor and Im really happy with the result. Tomorrow, saturday 9th of november, I will go to Piet Hein Eek in Eindhoven where I will meet the other bloggers who has also painted their cabinets. Also I will meet the winners who send their design for this competition. Maybe I see you tomorrow and wish you a lovely weekend!

Piet Hein Eek at Dutch Design Week 2013

Last weekend I went to the Dutch Design Week in Eindhoven together with my dear friend Naomi. We've both have been studying on the same academy and we share the passion for design, styling and beautiful things. The difference is that she's an fashionstylist and I'm an interiorstylist, but we've still got a bit like the same taste. So this weekend was a lot of fun together! We've been to different places and I specially like the workspace from Piet Hein Eek. I've been there two years ago for the last time and now I saw so many new furniture, inspiring products and a great use of different materials. After this inspiring day we've been eating some delicious food at the restaurant. I really enjoyed my time here!

This Wednesday I'll receive my limited edition cabinet designed by Piet Hein Eek, once in have it I can start painting! Today I've made my moodboard for this competition with the title Memories of the desert. Inspired by the life of the nomad where every day is another colourful journey, I will use the painting of Histor in the colours Lei, Loom and Ogenblik. I will use this cabinet to save and cherish memories from my daily life.  I wrote these lines to complete my moodboard for this competition:
