We could not be more impressed with Jurianne Matter's new collection. As one of our Bloesem class teachers, she spent some time in Singapore teaching us home and interior styling, these pictures just reinforce our belief that she is a pro! Everything in the collection is spot on and all with a story behind it.
We love how she designs her pieces based on memories and things she sees in her day-to-day life. The cups, she reminisces, were inspired by the times she warmed her hands with a warm cup of cocoa while watching dozens of seagulls fly in beautiful patterns. While the LookUP teatowel mimics the scene she saw looking up to the clear sky while walking through the woods, seeing the silhouettes of branches and berries. With each of her products having their own tale to tell, she reminds us to take a moment, step back and enjoy everything around us.
With the help of her friend Valerie Delsman, Jurianne's new collection got styled and photographed exactly the way we love to see it here at Bloesem ... I have to give a thousand compliments to this young talent and hopefully soon you will see more work from her appear on the Bloesem screen!







Shop Jurianne Matter's paper products here ... the new collection tea towels and ceramics will be presented at the ShowUP trade show in Amsterdam next week or in Paris at Maison & Objet one week later.
And hopefully in the beginning of October available at our Bloesem shop and other shops throughout Europe and the Netherlands.

With a unique name like ' A question of eagles ' and amazing handmade products like these... how could we have not heard about them sooner! Melissa and Jonathan makes all the beautiful items they sell in their store, which are inspired by their travels through the American landscape.
We are especially captivated by their collection of ceramic pieces. There is so much character in every individual piece and it would be a pleasure to have them around the house. Other than ceramics, A question of eagles also stocks quilts and other handmade goodness..

From desks to the designs you see here, we believe you guys share our love for Kellie's (aka Buisjes en Beugels +++ ) design aesthetic. Her NEW homewares are off the beaten path and truly a breath of fresh air.
Right off our recent post on chopping boards, we have to say Kellie's design is definitely out of the box. The graphic lines and shapes of the chopping boards make them pieces of kitchen art!
Kellie originally started out designing kids fashion, with her two children as her muses and little models but with her origins in product design, it was a matter of time she came back to her roots! Along with her other award winning designs (In 2009 she designed INSEKT desk, in 2011 it was ready to be launched on the international market and in 2013 it became the IMM Interior Innovation Award Winner!), Buisjes En Beugels +++ webshop also hosts a number of guests labels.

That I believe Patricia Urquiola is the best designer in the world ... is again proved to me by her for new collection glazed porcelain tiles called Mutina Azulej for academy tiles.
Just spectacular in every sense of the word ... 9 single patterns make up to 27 different patterns and come in three different colour ways ... Nero, Grigio & Bianco.
If Rik and I ever were to buy a new house I would most certainly incorparte tiles in our home!
