Conceptstore 33 rue Majorelle in Marrakech

So nice I can share these photo's with you I made from 33 Rue Majorelle in Marrakech. I visited this store during my holiday in Marrakech and fell in love with the style, the atmosphere and beautiful products. In front of the famous Majorelle gardens you can find this concept created by Monique Bresson. In this store you can find the designs of many Moroccan designers and brands. I love the combination of the industrial atmosphere and the traditional Moroccan style. You can also find a juicebar here called Kaowa where you can have a delicious smoothie and shop some beautiful kitchen accessoiries from Chabi Chic. A must visit when you're in Marrakech!

New Zenza conceptstore in Amsterdam

I was invited to join the opening of the new Zenza conceptstore last saturday. They've opened their second store in Amsterdam (and 4th in the Netherlands!) where they've made again a great atmosphere with their beautiful products and inspiring designs. I was really happy to celebrate this special opening with them and I wish Karin, Hussein, Yasmina and the whole team all the luck, inspiration and happiness for this new store. You can find this store at Haarlemmerstraat 89 in Amsterdam, you have to go there and take a visit!

Hay store is now open in Amsterdam!

Yes! It's true, HAY STORE AMSTERDAM has opened their doors today! At the end of this morning I was so honored to be the first ( I guess) to make some snapshots in this new store already to share this on my blog. So here it is! What an amazing open space to display all the gorgeous design of the Hay collection. Included the About a Chairs I'm totally in love with ( more about this later). They styled the store with the lamps of Lightyears what makes the scandinavian look complete. 

The big store with two entrances ( Nieuwezijds voorburgwal & Spuistraat ) invites you to enjoy the Danish design. You can try the chairs and sofa, available with different upholstery or matching cushions in a various of fabrics from Kvadrat in beautiful colours. Officially the Hay Store will be openend the end of october. Beside the store there will be also a bakery and cafe ( De Koffiesalon ) opening soon, located in the same space. The initators Esther and Paulien (Also the owners of Friday next Amsterdam) did a great job, congratulations with your new store! Check their website and Facebook for more information about the two expositions during the Elle Design Weekend next week. Are you as excited as I am? So tell me, when will you go visit Hay Amsterdam? ;)

A colourful visit to Anthropologie Los Angeles

When I was in Los Angeles for the first time I've discovered so many great stores. One of them was Anthropologie. I already know about this store for a longer time, but now it's was my first time I could experience this great store by myself. And guess what, I loved it so much! The mix of styles, great use of styling and inviting corners makes me so happy. Also the use of colours, mix of different materials and styles looks so fantastic. You should definately go visit Anthropologie by yourself one day. You'll get inspired.

Cotton Cake, white and industrial in Amsterdam

Het is vrijdag, de werkweek zit er bijna op. Hebben jullie al leuke plannen voor het weekend? Een bezoekje aan Cottoncake in Amsterdam is zeker een aanrader. Van de week had ik een creatieve brainstorm met vriendin Mariette ( From Africa with love) en we besloten te lunchen op een plek waar we nog niet zijn geweest, dat werd Cottoncake. Wat een prachtige ruimte! Nu ben ik heel gevoelig voor ruimtes met prachtig licht... (dan droom ik weg van een studio die er zo uit ziet waar ik de hele dag mooie reportages kan stylen en fotograferen......). Cottoncake is een winkel, lunchroom en gallery in één. Kleding, eten, boeken en kleine woonaccessoires van merken als Mimi et Toi, P.A.P Sweden, Taschen Books, Beck Söndergaard, mbyM, Penn&Ink en House Doctor.
