THE ROASTROOM - AMSTERDAM

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Tue, 14 Jul 2015 08:37:00 +0000

It all began more than 15 years ago when Michiel Deenik opened his first restaurant, Visaandeschelde, located in the Scheldeplein. During these years, Visaandeschelde has become a household name in Amsterdam by offering the best seafood dishes and hospitable service in a bustling environment. In 2010, there was talk of introducing a new restaurant at the RAI Amtrium. The first restaurateur to come to mind was Michiel. Fast-forward to the present, THE ROAST ROOM has opened its doors!

THE ROAST ROOM occupies the ground floor and the first floor. On entering the restaurant, you will find yourself in THE ROAST BAR. The ROTISSERIE is located upstairs.

THE ROAST BAR is a brasserie style restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. From here you have a clear view of the heart of the establishment – the butchery.

The ROTISSERIE is the fine dining restaurant that is open for lunch and dinner. Inside you see the magnificent open kitchen with its Australian Beech ovens, the broiler, the charcoal grill and the rotisserie, with a handmade tile wall by the Harlinger Tile Factory as a backdrop.

DESIGN

At THE ROAST ROOM, everything is about art: from the dishes being served to the interior with all its elements. The restaurant is designed by Studio Modijefsky and Studio Molen, who made it into a beautiful coherent place on every level: from the furniture, the bars and the butchery to the special lighting and the smallest bronze details. The two floors are connected by Ginger Blimp, one of Studio Molen's flagship lighting sculptures. The craftsmanship as well as the hospitality and open character of THE ROAST ROOM is represented in the interior, which has come into existence with great dedication.

“This presents me with an incredible opportunity to establish a new concept within walking distance of my current restaurant. At Visaandeschelde I can express my passion for seafood. At THE ROAST ROOM, I want to give free rein to my culinary aspirations with respect to meat. THE ROAST ROOM will be open every day and our guests will be able to expect the same quality and charm they have come to enjoy at Visaandeschelde.”

EIJK - SUPERHEELS

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Tue, 26 May 2015 21:27:00 +0000

EIJK-Super Heels

Jolanda van Eijk is al jaren ontwerper van kledingcollecties, maar besloot na een opleiding ambachtelijk schoenmaken haar hart te volgen. Nu is er Eijk, een nieuw Nederlands schoenenlabel met internationale allure. Kenmerkend voor de minimalistisch vormgegeven schoenen zijn de hakken, die door de toepassing van een optisch trucje hoger lijken dan ze in werkelijkheid zijn.

Jolanda van Eijk studeerde in 1997 af aan de Mode Academie Charles Montaigne in Amsterdam en werkte daarna als modeontwerper voor onder meer Tommy Hilfiger en Super Trash. Toen Super Trash haar vroeg een schoenenlijn voor haar label op te zetten, besloot Jolanda van Eijk een opleiding tot ambachtelijk schoenmaker in Nieuwegein te gaan volgen. Van Eijk: ‘Ik wilde niet alleen maar leuke mode items maken, maar echt leren hoe een schoen geconstrueerd wordt en hoe elke stap in het productieproces verloopt. Het maken van een schoen is echt millimeter werk. Hakken hadden vanaf het begin mijn specifieke interesse omdat ik zelf een fervent hakkendraagster ben en dus weet hoe vermoeiend het is om er de hele dag op te lopen.’ Gegrepen door het schoenmakers vak besloot van Eijk afgelopen jaar voor zichzelf te beginnen. Uitdaging was om een hak te ontwikkelen die vrouwelijk was, maar tegelijkertijd comfortabel.

Het resultaat vormt nu de signature van het merk: ‘Ik ben net zo lang gaan schaven en schuren tot ik een perfecte vorm gevonden had. Het is een niet doorlopend sleehakje geworden dat er, bezien vanaf de achterzijde uitziet als een naaldhak. Mijn schoenen ogen daardoor heel elegant en verleidelijk, zonder dat dit ten koste gaat van de draagbaarheid.’ Omdat Jolanda van Eijk met haar label vakmanschap wil leveren ging ze in de Italiaans regio Marche op zoek naar gepassioneerde Italiaanse handwerkslieden. Van Eijk: ‘Het is nog een heel gedoe om dat allemaal uit te zoeken. Als je gaat voor kwaliteit kan je het hele proces niet bij één producent onderbrengen. Ik werk nu met verschillende kleine familiebedrijfjes die ieder hun specialisme hebben. De leest, het patroon, het binnenwerk, de loop zool, de hakken… ieder onderdeel wordt ergens anders gemaakt en om uiteindelijk in één atelier geassembleerd te worden.’

THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF UTAH - DOGS IN A PHOTOBOOTH

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 17:15:00 +0000

the humane society of utah recently enlisted photographer guinnevere shuster to come up with a creative and playful way to show the unique personalities of their adoptable dogs. in order to most closely capture the quirky character of each breed, shuster snapped photo booth portraits of each pooch in various positions and poses — blankly staring at the camera, shyly looking to the side or mid-bite. the square format photos of each dog, featured on the facebook of the humane society of utah, is coupled with a short description and details about their age and size for potential adopters.

RESTAURANT CARLO E CAMILLA - MILANO

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Mon, 16 Mar 2015 16:12:00 +0000

set within a historical sawmill, the restaurant and cocktail bar carlo e camilla in segheria, milan is established by celebrity chef carlo cracco and art direction given by tanja solci. the existing character of the building has been left majority untouched, the brick walls and the aged concrete walls have been left exposed, altogether adding to the overall industrial feel to the interior. intimacy and sharing is the main concept highlighted by elements such as the use of two intercepting, communal tables placed at the center so diners can be aware of all aspects during their dining experience.
the building, segheria milano, is owned by tanja solci and in 1999, together with her father, they restored the factory from its previous post-war state for this restaurant. with solci for art direction, behind-the-scenes is led by carlo cracco and his team, cooking up cuisine that reinterprets traditional italian recipes with a contemporary twist.fusing italian culture into the choice of decor and tableware, a story is told through the setting. the industrial feel is refined by suspended vintage chandeliers, and during the evenings, dramatically light the space by casting shadows onto the table surfaces, creating an enchanting atmosphere. nicola fanti, the third partner of carlo e camilla, takes care of the management and ensures that the atmosphere and tanja’s design project is unique every evening.

RESTAURANT NEVEL - AMSTERDAM (THE NETHERLANDS)

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 10:58:00 +0000

In January of this year Dutch chef Ricardo van Ede returns with his latest venture Nevel – Dutch for mist – has a waterfront location overlooking the IJ lake and is furnished with marble, whitewashed oak tables and white leather sofas by design firm Concrete. Van Ede’s food philosophy of seasonal, non-trendy fare is evident by way of the jars of piccalilli and chutney that fill the open shelving system. On Sundays, brunch guests are treated to a classic roast, while dinner patrons are asked to trust van Ede with the choice of a three to seven course set menu.

SINNERLIG - IKEA by STUDIO ILSE

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:12:00 +0000

SINNERLIG

Collection for IKEA, 2015

Studio Ilse designed a furniture, lighting and tabletop collection of around 30 items for IKEA, exploring natural materials and simple, useful forms that fit into everyday life. They are helpful, background pieces, not showstoppers. They worked with cork, ceramic, glass, seagrass and bamboo; tactile materials that appeal to them because they feel as good as they look. Studio Ilse worked with all aspects of the IKEA system and the many experts within it and developed the range together with the material, production, sustainability, design and logistics experts, making sure at every step that no part of the process was compromised. Ultimately their goal with the collection is in line with IKEA’s own mission: to make affordable design reach as many people as possible. The collection will be available in IKEA stores around the world from August 2015.

MARSALA - COLOUR OF THE YEAR 2015 by PANTONE

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Sat, 31 Jan 2015 15:45:00 +0000

Much like the fortified wine that gives Marsala its name, this tasteful hue embodies the satisfying richness of a fulfilling meal while its grounding red-brown roots emanate a sophisticated, natural earthiness. This hearty, yet stylish tone is universally appealing and translates easily to fashion, beauty, industrial design, home furnishings and interiors.

The Versatility of Marsala

Equally appealing to men and women, Marsala is a stirring and flavorful shade for apparel and accessories, one that encourages color creativity and experimentation
Flattering against many skin tones, sultry and subtle Marsala is a great go-to color for beauty, providing enormous highlight for the cheek, and a captivating pop of color for nails, shadows lips and hair.
Dramatic and at the same time grounding, the rich and full-bodied red-brown Marsala brings color warmth into home interiors
An earthy shade with a bit of sophistication, texture is the story in print and packaging. A matte finish highlights Marsala’s organic nature while adding a sheen conveys a completely different message of glamour and luxury.

HUESO RESTAURANT - MEXICO

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:13:00 +0000

Located in the beautiful Lafayette Design District in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico is the home and studio of Diaz Morales. The extraordinary modernist architecture setting from the 1940s in the beautiful Lafayette Design District in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico serves as the perfect backdrop for Alfonso Cadena’s new concept restaurant “Hueso”. The restaurant name originates from the Spanish word “Bone”.

The design approach takes the title literally, integrating architectural details, graphics and a design approach which plays up the skeletal idea. The design approach for the building began with a creation of a double skin. The exterior of the building is covered in artisanal handmade ceramic tiles reminiscent of stitching and sewing patterns, protecting the inside layer which becomes more organic and full of texture. Inspired by the Darwinian vision and the name of the restaurant itself, the inside skin is covered with over 10,000 collected bones from animals and plants mounted on timber blocks. These were mixed with objects and cooking tools, all of which were assembled by urban visual artists.

The off-white colour palette and a collection of aluminium cast bones hang on the interior walls, while the exposed kitchen becomes a display for the guests – the bar is the only partition between the culinary artists and the main table.

CAPITAL ONE LAB by STUDIO O+A

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Wed, 13 Aug 2014 09:01:00 +0000

Another colorful office project...

Pretty forward for a bank which develops apps for easy and effective interface with Capital One’s online customers, which wanted their space to reflect the wide open spirit of their team.

Capital One Labs is essentially a design studio, and the people who work there wanted it to look like one. They didn’t want to drape it in banker’s gray.

CRYSTALS AND LASERS by Matt W Moore

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 16:25:00 +0000

Matt W. Moore works to the credo of ‘range is conducive to growth.’ Like many artists of his generation, Matt’s background

was in action board sports and the action art of graffiti, each with their core value of speed, do-it-yourself ethic, enthusiasm

for new terrain, and sheer fun of collaboration. Over the past decade, he’s applied those principles to his bold, graphic

aesthetic in media both analog and digital, for projects both personal and commercial.

THREAD DRAWINGS by Anne Lindberg

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Sat, 11 Jan 2014 12:49:00 +0000

Thousands of vertical threads. Funny thing is none of those lines – whether drawn or created with thread – ever meet or intersect one another.

Lindberg’s process-intensive pieces are minor monuments to control, elegance, and more than a little patience on the part of their creator.

PERSIAN COWHIDE RUG

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 15:14:00 +0000

The Persian cowhide is unlike any cowhide you have ever seen. It's from a very exotic breed of beast that lives in the fantasy world of designers Young & Battaglia. The piece is a playful and unexpected marriage between two of the most iconic rugs in the world. The meticulous and geometric Persian carpet is seamlessly combined with the natural irregularity of an animal skin rug. The design is made possible by digitally printing on to a special fabric backed rubber which is the hand cut in to its final hide shape. Unlike real cowhides this one is hypo-allergenic, washable, non-slip, and will not curl up at the edges. A fusion between art and utility, this rug will add a beautifully surreal touch to any interior.

LEATHER LAMPSHADE by PEPE HEYKOOP

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 17:52:00 +0000

A few days ago i run into this gorgeous lampshade made out of leather:

Leather Lampshades

Leather Lampshade is Pepe Heykoop’s 1st project made in his workshop in a slum in Mumbai, India. Leather Lampshade is fabricated of soft lambskin leather, whilst its shape refers to old industrial lamps.

The shape is a simplified version of old industrial lamps. Circles became angled and the shade is now soft and therefore foldable so they can be transported flat packed. Leather Lampshade is produced in his workshop located in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Mumbai, India – providing meaningful jobs, income and hope for the neediest. Transported flatpacked.

FETISH - view on color

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 07:59:00 +0000

Love these photo's from the new View on Colour issue!

A magic potion invaded the FETISH issue of View On Colour, feeding on all the forms of fetishes and materials inhabited by the force of nature: shells, stones, wood, blood and earth -- exploring variations of gris-gris and amulets as contemporary accessories, establishing a profound link between the wearer and the forces they represent, with fur, skin, bone, minerals and metals.

Voodoo mobiles inspire new and archaic forms for vehicles while voodoo beauty rituals make use of heady concoctions of natural ingredients like mud, minerals, roots, nuts and fruits; eradicating flaws and bewitching age. Our hairdos are primitive and wild, almost animalistic, further exploring the sculpted quality of our hair, coupled with new and unusual extensions.

Mirror, mirror… on our furniture, is giving a unique perspective to inner space, while dramatic gothic tabletop is using mediaeval matters for pitchers and goblets. Clothes are exploring fetishism with inspirations derived from shamanism, alchemy, astrology and black (and white) magic.

We explore the ritual of the circus, inspiring a new generation of clownesque clothes and cosmetics. Some people are born magicians, jokers and jugglers, keeping their balls in the air and educating us with intriguing insight, as witnessed by all the elements of this visionary trend magazine. A hundred and forty pages of unbridled creative energies that are instinctive and therefore unable to be tamed…

Away from the mainstream, Abracadabra!

german artist wolfgang stiller will be presenting his charming charred portraits as part of an exhibition entitled 'burnout' at python gallery

about the exhibition space, the blackened matches reference worn out - or more so burned out human beings.

the work started from the various head molds and bamboo wood sitting in the artist's studio which were left over from a movie production

in china while he was residing in beijing. experimenting with the two elements resulted in an eclectic crowd of literal matchstick men.

INDUSTRIAL ITALIAN LOFT

noreply@blogger.com (femke) — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 20:58:00 +0000

Cool, minimalist, sleek, and Italian! Florence-based studio q-bic created this “pallets loft” by renovating the attic of a Nineteenth century industrial building in the heart of historic Florence. Small partitions painted in different hues created a multi-section, poly-functional space. The space is set up to be easily moved around, with sliding, iron walls dividing it in half. Design classic from Eames, Saarinen, and Le Corbusier stand out agains the neutral, industrial elements.
