The Designer Profile series is my absolute favortie column on BloesemLiving and I am very thankful to Marjon and Sandra for creating these unique, personal and interesting interviews for us. Sandra and Marjon visit well-known dutch designers in their own homes, asking them questions about their work and life and give us a really nice look into their own design homes.

Face-to-face: a designer's profile with Mae Engelgeer

Very happy and proud to share our 2nd Face-to-face: a designer's profile today with Mae Engelgeer from Studio Mae. Marjon and Sandra visited Mae at her ground floor apartment of a house in 'de Pijp', a wonderful neighborhood in Amsterdam two weeks ago to talk with her about her textile label Studio Mae, inspiration, the way she combines work with family life and what it is like to start your own business.

NEW COLUMN :: face-to-face: a designer’s profile

Out of absolute curiosity how designers actually live themselves and how they decorate their own homes made me ask Sandra Jacobs from BijzonderMOOI* whether she could visit them for Bloesem and ask them questions about their work, passions and life in general.

Of course bringing a great photographer was an absolute must and who could be better than my dear friend Marjon Hoogervorst aka Vorstin  ... how thrilled was I when I found out they were just as excited about this idea as I was.

So with proud and happiness am I going to present to you today a new column:

Real homes, beautiful images and a nice conversation with well-known designers from the Netherlands to start with but probably designers from other countries too. 

The first visit Sandra and Marjon made was at Klaartje de Hartog's home in Amsterdam. Klaartje is founder of designer accessory label Keecie. 

A special thank you to Nanette Watson aka xPattyCake, who helps us with the translations of the interviews.
