Great series by documentary photographer Erik Klein Wolterink, showing the insides of Amsterdam kitchens. The works were made in commission of the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts and the City Archives. Very interesting to see the insides of the kitchen and the things stocked in cupboards, ovens and fridges, instead of the same old boring usual interior[...]

Love this great project, a new concept for a bridge, by Dutch-Belgian Ro&Ad architects. It’s situated at the West Brabantse Waterlinie and I’m sure Mozes would have loved this bridge. _

Great multi-functional piece of furniture by Garance Echazarreta, a French creative who graduated from Eindhoven Design Academy 2 years ago, and who is still living and working in the Netherlands. ‘Our position in a space acts on our emotions and on our thoughts.

The one shown here is made in a field near Hamburg as part of the upcoming MS Dockville music and art festival, and is presumably the best one so far. The installation took 8 days to[...]
