Category / Stories

In our stories blog we focus on interior design related topics. Our sources of inspiration, glimpses behind the scenes, the making process of the furniture and interiors, background information or designers and artists whose work we admire.

We are lovers of modern art in all forms, but especially abstract art. In a modern, minimalist interior, a work of art can be a very powerful statement that lifts the entire interior to a higher level. We want to inspire you with the things that inspire us.

We don’t just want to show you the final results of our interior design projects. We also find it interesting to show parts of the design and production process. For example, how the design came about, where the inspiration came from? How and where the production of the furniture takes place? How does the building process of an interior work? Which artists, designers and craftsmen do we admire and why? It’s all covered in our blog. If there are topics you want highlighted, send us an email and we’ll do our best to write a blog post about it.
