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.

Last week we shared the online store I wait here , which we can all safely say, the Bloesem team has fallen head over heels with. Especially how they have featured the beautiful collection from Tas-ka.
The patterns, the designs, Tas-ka has really outdone themselves in the area of homewares and kitchen accessories. If you think their products are impressive, have a look at their brick and mortar store, images that have pinned over and over again on pinterest.
We couldn't resist giving styling and photographing the Tas-ka products a shot ourselves.. so here (2 images below) is the result..

I wait here is a new online shop which had an exposition at Designkwartier last month with, amongst many other things, the beautiful ceramics by Kristie van noort.
We believe that a good picture can sell any product, and I wait here is a really good example of how the amazing styling and photography makes the shopping experience a breeze for the customer. A visually inspiring website, just what we needed to brush off the monday blues!

We previously wrote about the beautiful Story Tiles by Marga van Oers (also one of the best selling items in the Bloesem store) and most recently Marga has created Story Wood.
The creative fun stories are now on sustainable wood. We love the tiles but who doesnt love something new! The wood panels come in several different designs and sizes to fit any space in your home. The birch wood panels are 18 mm thick and are easily installed with an integrated hanging system. No fuss, no muss that's our motto. And of course all the pieces come with the Story Wood fire stamp and their own individual flame pattern.

A house I would love to live in ... Christien Starkenburg can come over to Singapore at any time and decorate my home! Her use of color and texture in spaces is just perfect, it's really bold yet not overwhelming. Makes such a statement!
Christien is also art-director at Jan de Jong interiors ... a beautiful shop in the Netherlands and that is where I found these images. I believe christien and Claudy Jongstra another top talent from the low-lands are good friends ... I understand why they are, it truly enhances both their individual designs!
More gorgeous interiors after the cut..

Welcome to Jonna's kitchen, not exactly her's but a kitchen she designed. If you think interior architect, Jonna Klumpenaar sounds familiar, it's because we have written about her own lovely home before. You can have a quick look over here before continuing with this kitchen.
The pictures below are of a kitchen Jonna has designed for a young family from Amsterdam. Working together with her clients, she tries to achieve the perfect atmosphere within the space. To her, being an architect means not only being the creative force but also being able to understand what the client wants and translating that into a design they will appreciate.
It's alot about feeling out who you are working with and getting what they want even if they aren't able to specifically express it. A fan of bright spaces, Jonna loves the energy and peace such spaces eminate. The yellow-painted floor with olive green and white basic kitchen tiles also give the room a young and fresh feel.
Perhaps you remember Jonna her own home with the gorgeous chairs :) right here in the Bloesem archives you can read a short interview with her.
