EAT | DRINK | SHOP | THINK at Hotel Droog A’dam

This spring we got the chance to enjoy a lovely weekend at Hotel Droog, Amsterdam.
A little designheaven in the midst of Amsterdam with a stunning view over the rooftops of Amsterdam, fully equiped with a little kitchen, bedroom, livingspace, all totally filled with beautiful Dutch design. The hotel is part of a multi-space location that opened its’ doors in 2012 and has become the destination for a drink and a bite in the beautiful cafe, to do some exclusive shopping in the store filled with wonderful brands, or to be inspired by exhibitions in the courtyard and finish the day with a stroll through the fairytale garden. A perfect place for a dreamy weekend in Amsterdam!

OBJECTS WITH A STORY…

SABELLAR X SPONS vormgevers

Last month a dream of one of our clients from Spain came true with opening her wonderful online conceptstore ‘SABELLAR’, a fashion and decoration concept store, in tribute to the Mediterranean way of life. We were honoured to be working on their visual identity with these images we shot and styled, as we share the same values. Like craftmanship, authenticity, a choice for honest production, fair to every chain in the process. All handmade with love, mostly by local artisans, often teached by generations of families into products which provoke a feeling of happiness. Created with a soul…

To wear…to eat…to enjoy!

LIVE YOUR DREAM

On one of the first days of this brand new year 2017 filled with blank pages, i like to share a dreamjob i was lucky to work on by the end of last year. A collaboration with Little Creative Factory, a wonderful childrenswear brand from Barcelona, Spain. Just as last summer we were asked to shoot images of their gorgeous wintercollection. This brand is all about making dreams come true, so with a grateful heart we styled and shot these images.

‘LIGHT UP OUR LIVES’

A COLLAB WITH KOVAC FAMILY SWEDEN

So happy to collaborate with brands with not only eyecandy products, but with core values that enhance the beauty of the product even more. Kovac Family from Sweden is such a brand. So we were delighted to be asked for a collaboration and shoot images of their gorgeous 25lamp. Their designs are inspired by nature, with the ambition to make products with as small impact on the enviroment as possible using only sustainable materials. This beautiful lamp is called 25lamp, as the numbers of parts used. As simple and lovely as that…

Here are the images from this shoot which will be used for their visual identity on their website and social media

KEEP ON DREAMING…

Sometimes you come across a brand that touches your heart and in case of ‘Little creative factory’ that was exactly what happened. A wonderful childrenswear brand designed by Cristina Fernandez based in Barcelona, Spain. Collections characterised by the beauty of simplicity. Experimental shapes and attention to detail are present in all of her designs, under the banner of ‘less is more’. With nurture and comfort in mind, their clothes are made of natural and hard-wearing fabrics that come from the earth, such as cottons and linens. Textiles that reflect their roots, their very origin, whilst maintaining the sophistication and delicacy that marks the pure beauty of their clothes. All these unique pieces are produced in the heart of Barcelona, always following the philosophy of ‘slow manufacture’, ‘0km’ and ‘less is more’. Always conscientious of the need to work towards building a better world for our small people.

So imagine my joy when i was asked by Cristina to style and shoot images of her new spring/summer 2016 collection. Thank you so much Cristina for this wonderful opportunity. This collaboration is proof that sometimes ideas are not only dreams. On occasion it comes to pass that dreams become reality…
