inspiring images

We are oh so lucky to have people around us who go to places and take inspiring pictures.
One of them as many of you might already know is my aunt who lives in Eindhoven.
In October they had the Dutch Design week, which I went to last year and really inspired me while putting vonblum together.
This year I couldnt go......the little guy kept me in town and very busy.
So, my aunts this year brought tons of pictures of the week and it felt like being there myself.

Here are some of the very inspiring work and images they took.

From top to bottom: Numbered plated moths, Sugar spoons imagery cut and welded on to spoon, threaded pebbles...inspiring colours, lovely office cubicle - little house and my favourite by far old book wall

P.S. if anyone has more info on the pictures below please let us know :)

Congratulations ink&peat

We are really happy as Pam from housemartin - has opened her shop in Portland!

We have been following her from across the ocean and can't wait for more picture updates on the blog.

All the best for Ink& Peat

Stick to these plates

For the plate collectors between us, these are the plates that have been missing.

These plates are the great idea of designers Ahnlund & Karlén
These are wall stickers that can be stuck on any wall and moved around as you wish.
Got one ourselves in Stockholm and are hoping to have them in vonblum for sale as well.
Ours is hanging at home between our paintings and family portraits!

sur la table

and now......where do we put all the tables?
Placing coloured buttons to figure out where and how many tables we have on the first floor of vonblum. Our tables are not as colourful as these, but our chairs will be :)

Dutch Design Week

While we are still going through all the information received during Eindhoven's Dutch design week.
We thought we might give you a quick glance at some of the lovely things we saw.
We will be back with more detailed info of great works and very inspiring days.
If you are in Holland, its well worth going to have a look (on until the 28th of October).
Thanks to Agnes & Hjördis for showing us around.
