Monday Quick start: 'As Good As New' in SPRMRKT

Brand new second hand furniture... Four years ago, Gummo, i29 and Krimpex joined forces to create a new office for Gummo, furnished entirely with recycled and reclaimed furniture.
Being it a big success i29 now decided to make a range of brand new second hand furniture available for you ... This is as Good as New.

It’s made in exactly the same way as everything in the award-winning office – i29 finds old stuff they like... fix it... cover it with their special blend of solvent-free grey matter and then it’s As Good As New.

The collection can be seen until the end of the year in SPRMRKT in Amsterdam. A shop founded by my former boss lady Nelleke Strijkers who in her own words created a 'high-fashion universe' and the conceptual looking arty vintage furniture mixex perfect in SPRMRKT's style.                [MORE]

Muuto bulbs in our home

Perhaps you have read somewhere that during the last couple of weeks my family and I were staying in our Amsterdam apartment to do some re-decoration and prepare the place for new tenants. Perhaps not difficult to understand that I had a lot of fun doing this :) for the bedroom I needed some new lights and I choose three E27 bulb lamps by Muuto ... I like the simple look, believe 'bulbs' are trending and most importantly I like how the cords bring a lillte extra to the white wall in the back. The quilt was a nice bargain over at Zara home sale in Amsterdam. Beautiful colors and it matches perfectly with the green off the wood and our build-in cabinets.

Pols Potten started in 1986 with importing Mediterranean earthenware to the Netherlands...soon their tiny store became too small for their growing collection of all things beautiful...in 1997 they moved to their
