Bloesem

Wendy Klaver

Maybe you already noticed but I haven’t written many posts this week…and this is all because of a horrible cold/flu I have to deal with this week…  other than drinking lot’s of lemon thee with honey, nothing else  seemed to really help, so yesterday I went to the doctor's and got some real medicine...!

Of course I didn’t want to leave you with nothing today...here are some beautiful handmade pillows and poufs from the 300-serie by Wendy Klaver. Wendy is a young and very talented Dutch designer of whom we will hear much more in the future. Her website shows a wonderful collection of designs. Click here. {ps. tomorrow I can show you some amazing designs by up and coming Scandanavian designers...so hopefully you will visit Bloesem again tomorrow}

New Wallpaper

I just love this new wallpaper, called 'Typography'! It is hand printed by Deborah Bowness, one of my favorite wallpaper designers. This wallpaper would fit perfectly in my new studio! You can order the wallpaper by sending Deborah an email. {Thanks Deborah for sending this to me!}

Loungeluxe

Some beautiful products..;available at Loungeluxe, a new sponsor of Bloesem!

Guestblogging?

I received an email form the writers of the blog "create my event' asking me if I could ask the Bloesem readers if anyone would be interested in being the new guest blogger on their blog. It is a blog that deals with event planning, arts/crafts, invitation design. The site has a variety of content contributors including, event planners, graphic designers, writers, and those that love to throw parties and events. Click here if you are interested.

New fabric

Bianca van Meeuwen from Hollabee products sent me her new fabrics. All her products are created and designed in Melbourne, Australia but Bianca is originally from the Netherlands. The new Fabrics are hand screen printed on a 55% linen 45% cotton blend and you can buy them here.

Jonas Samson

Found via InsideDesign… incredible work by mystery man Jonas Samson… just fell in love with his designs… but no further information on the creator himself…. so where shall I start… This Light-emitting wallpaper makes it possible to have light from a two-dimensional surface rather than a 3D object. As long as the wallpaper is turned ‘off’, you don’t see it is a source of light. Instead, it is just what it appears to be: wallpaper.

Then you have these Free Style Blowmolding vases… a project between craftmanship and industrial manufacturing, combining the uniqueness of handmade pieces with industry functionality and mass production uniformity. Need I say more...color? Perfect!

And last but certainly not least Free Style Blowmolding lights...visit Jonas Samson's website for more designs and yes, you have to send him an email to require any information. Have a great weekend! My parents are visiting tomorrow, I'm very much looking forward to seeing them agian. Hope to see you back on Monday with a beautiful post about food design.

Committee

Harry Richardson and Clare Page are the design-duo Committee. They met during their art studies and fell in love... and we all know since Charles en Ray Eames that such love can lead to extraordinary designs.... For Moooi Committee designed this Bamboo Lamp, it is available in white or black, a simple and contemporary shape.. the use of bamboo gives it a tropical feel and is very light material so easy to move  around (great if you often like to completely rearrange your living room setting…), every lamp has a unique cord with a special animal icon. I have to be honest...the images don't do the bautiful lamp very good justice, you have to see it for real. The lamps are available at Moooi, you can't find the lamp on the website yet, but you can send Tisha Claessens at Moooi an email.

Mike and Maaike

...another post on 2Modern about the very innovative design duo Mike&Maaike.

Give Love

Growing Love…a gorgeous textile brooch made out of four harts. It is a piece from  the new collection called ‘Give Love’ by Marije Geursen from the Netherlands. Marije screen printed the pattern on fabric, which was later enriched by embroidery patterns.

The beautiful flower brooches are available in black and white, but for now it is a limited collection of only 20 pieces. If you would like to buy one of these ‘growing love flowers’ click here. 'Give love' isn't Marije's first collection...if you haven't seen any of her previous work before just look here...I'm a big fan!

Have a look...

Some prints, craftwork, accessories and artwork I would like to share with you today.


These very beautiful gocco prints were made by Cecilie Ellefsen and she works as an illustrator and animator in Oslo, Norway. You can find her prints in her Etsy shop and read her blog here..unfortunately the squirrel print is not available at the moment but maybe Cecilie will reconsider printing them again?!

Sparrows and Black birds accessoiries available at BettyJoy.

These nice magnetic frames were already featured om some blogs, but I think they are so clever that I have to show them as well. Mudpuppy is the creator and here you can buy them, only $3.50 (I never mention any prices, but this is just to good to be true!)

'Hello Morocco' is the name off this wall-hanging. Erin Lang Norris sells these handmade items in her shop called, Yellow Canoe. These functional wall hangings serve a double purpose: unique artwork and a much needed jewelry (or key) holder...available here...

I have featured some of Dallas Show's work before, but last weekend she send me some new work. The images are from are from the OMD Showhouse in Venice CA.
