Voor diegene die mij al wat langer volgen klinkt dit vast bekend: ik heb een grote liefde voor het ontwerpen van kinderkamers ☺️ Maar…. ook in een kinderkamer doen de details ertoe!! Hier heb ik bijvoorbeeld een handgemaakte lamp van .iris.nijenhuis toegevoegd. Zij maakt met een lasersnijder modulaire puzzelstukken van stof die met de hand in elkaar gezet worden, super bijzonder 😍➡️ swipe om een goed beeld te krijgen van het proces.

**BAD NEWS FIRST…**
It's been a while since I've changed my prices, and with the rising costs of studio rent, materials, energy, exhibition fees etc. the margins are tight. So if I continue like this I won’t be able to keep on creating the handcrafted modular textile accessories you love. Eventually, I might have to close down...🥲

**WHICH ALREADY BRINGS ME TO THE GOOD NEWS: I’m raising my prices so I won’t go out of business🥳🌟**
To keep my business thriving and continue bringing you unique, artisanal pieces I am currently recalculating the prices. I've made a start on updating the High-end pieces and in the following week the rest of the new prices will go live on the webshop.

So, now’s the perfect time to get your hands on your favourite piece at the current rate! Don’t miss out, shop now and support handmade local craftsmanship! 💎✨
We've also added many new colours and prints🌈

Ciao Milano!🙌 While spending as much time as possible at the Isola Design Gallery, I also devoted some time to exploring the captivating venues the city had to offer. Because as I broaden the application of my technique, from wearables to interior design and art objects, I wanted to experience Milan Design Week's wide range of opportunities for designers to showcase their work💫
My highlights:
- The paneltalk with various designers
- Trendpresentation by (and finding out my work is showcased in the presentation 😍)
- The opening of
- Meeting the Consul General of Milan
- Spotting the wearing my earrings 💫 sadly we missed each other in person!
-
- Doppia firma at Villa Mozart
- networkparty
I think I should most definitely return❤️ since this was probably 1% of wat MDW had to offer😅

FOCUS...💫 In the past 2 years I've been eagerly trying to catch up on some 'slow' times that were more about surviving rather than creativity. Because after a few bumpy years with Covid, motherhood and a husband recovering from the urge to move forward has also led to an abundance of ideas and ambitions that I want to pursue all at once🤪🤯 (High-end pieces, wallpanels, lampshade, hats, vases, flowers and other unidentified objects😄)
So the magic word for 2024 in 'focus' and therefore I've signed up for the accelerator programme 🚀 a 9 month professionalization and networking program powered by .nl and that helps passionate designers in the world of creative entrepreneurship. Brainstorm buddies, mentor sessions and masterclasses every two weeks! Can't wait for the next one🤩
What is your favourite direction in my work you'd like to see more of?
Comment below:
👉 wallpanels
👉 vases & flowers
👉 art wearables
👉 accessible wearables
👉 DIY-kits
👉 workshops
P.S.🏆Big shoutout to silent force Gerda, who at age 71 is also very much 'driving' my dutch design, by playing a significant role in the artisanal craftsmanship to construct these works💪😘 couldn't do it without you!!❤🙏

An ode to the artificial flower, to perhaps boost it's rather dull image🌺🌼⚘ According to various studies they can play an important role in making the flower industry more sustainable. (tip: keep an eye on the next post for a DIY 🌺🎁)
👉 Studies indicate significantly lower CO2 emissions per shipment for artificial flowers, with calculations showing a 94% reduction in transport emissions compared to fresh 
flowers. 
👉 Fresh flowers rely on airplanes due to their short shelf life and need refrigerated trucks for the last part of their journey. 
👉 And did you know that still a great amount of fresh flowers perishing before the sale...
👉 Lets look at Valentine’s Day, when an estimated 250mn stems of flowers are sold globally, most wrapped in single-use plastic to protect delicate buds.
👉 Fresh flowers are starting to look quite artificial anyway...; because they are boxed up and shipped around the world, they are grown to fit a crate, and they often have lost their smell (and spirit) a bit...
👉 Only a small amount of fresh flowers are correctly composted♻️ Trashed flowers in landfills undergo anaerobic degradation, producing methane; a potent greenhouse gas. Methane has accounted for roughly 30 per cent of global warming since pre-industrial times. (Not everything green is green💚 if the lifespan is so short...)
👉 Despite the fact artificial flowers are mainly made from a polyester fabric. They last a lifetime, you buy once rather than weekly.
‐-----------------------
👩‍🏫 Taking in al aspects of production, packaging, transportation, use and disposal is a very complicated calculation...
But in CONCLUSION we can say that in general the well made artificial flowers are a more sustainable option if you use them longer than the shelf life of three fresh bouquets (so already after a few months!!)
🌺🌻🌼🌷⚘
Of course we are fans of fresh flowers, so be sure to buy locally grown flowers to avoid unnecessary emissions. And be openminded toward more duarble, artistically made 
flowers in your home🌺🏡💫

Dear people of the internet, I have a background in industrial design and work professionally in the digital design world but basically I am passionate about everything that is design, from interior design to fashion to textile to jewelry design…you name it. Because I know how complicated designing something can be I have also always felt the responsibility to support small independent designers. It’s one thing to have an idea, but quite another to bring it to life, especially when you’re a small brand. And then eventually create something that is both beautiful and practical and will be used and worn by people.

Today I would like to introduce you to the beautiful jewelry of Dutch designer Iris Nijenhuis. Made from a lightweight fabric her jewelry can be worn as statement pieces, but they’re also subtle and delicate thanks to the intricate laser cut designs. I love that her pieces are bold yet effortless. Anyway, I really felt pretty wearing them :D.
