travel: Amsterdam

We decided to spend last days of 2013 in Amsterdam. 

Worry was that five days city break might be to much for 4 year old, but we couldn't be further from the truth.

 Sam enjoyed everything from museums, boat trips and shopping to bike riding. Amsterdam apart from being great party place is extremely family friendly and full of inspiration. We haven't  managed to see half of the things we have planned! Here is just a quick report with highlights of our trip.

+  + +

Rijksmuseum
..apart from Rembrandt works, much beloved by us for recent renovated spaces by
Spanish architects Antonio Cruz & Antonio Ortiz

+ + +

+

Type/ Dynamics by LUST at Stedelijk Museum

United Nude Shop - brand founded by Rem D Koolhas 

(nephew of the Rem Koolhas ,one of the most important architects of our days)

I love architectural approach to form in UN creations,

when in Amsterdam I always visit this place.

Great Northern

Great Northern is now finished and I have to say, although I still feel exhausted after long four eventful days, I am overwhelmed with positive comments and feedback my work received.

Thank you all for visiting my little exhibition, all new followers on Facebook & Twitter. 

Most of all big thank you to all of those who loved my work enough to take it home.

I gained great friends and met fantastic makers. 

It was a good opportunity for networking and getting new contacts.

If you have visited me, please leave short comment with your opinion, as this would help me to get better in my work.

Rafa Kids

I have no idea how come it took me so long to get this post ready but here it is: 

I wanted to share my love to one of the finest designers of kids furniture Rafa Kids. 

This creative couple use their experience as architects and parents to design unique range of kids beds. Collection includes toddler and teenage beds and wonderful combinations suitable for sharing in the room.

+ + +

Simplicity of the design is brilliant and its northern feel appeals to me highly.

+ + +

Now you Rafa beds are available at Bodie and Fou.

But check Rafa Kids shop first and meet this fantastic family.

Love the new whitewash finish!
