INTERIOR: Studio Niels - Authentic Mansion in Maastricht (NL)

I was inspired by this beautiful historical mansion located in Maastricht, the Netherlands and designed by interior designer Niels Maier from Studio Niels. In this mansion old and new elements come together in a spectacular way. Most important elements were: tranquility, space, transparency and light. The complete interior gives a special feeling of serenity by the use of a monochrome atmosphere in all the rooms. Love the combination of the warm, brown flooring with fresh white hues, a kind of Latte Macchiato. For more information, see the enclosed links below.

INTERIOR: Dutch design 'Slowwood' with a Scandinavian touch

I was inspired by this beautiful wooden writing desk from the Dutch label 'Slowwood'. Dutch designer Christien Starkenburg lives and works in the Northern Province Friesland. She has her own furniture line 'Slowwood': timeless pieces of quality furniture with a raw natural elegance. Her collection of tables is simple, pure and uncomplicated. Each piece is unique, handmade with love and attention by local craftsmen in Fryslan, using solid wood, 100% natural finishes and mineral paint. For more information, see the enclosed link below.

Heated Outdoor furniture 'Helios' by Galanter & Jones

I was inspired by this interesting design: the Helios Heated Lounge by the designers Galanter & Jones. Designed and handmade in California. The simplest and most welcome innovation in garden furniture we've seen. What's so great about it, you ask? It's warm! The smooth contemporary design is nice and ergonomic, great for lounging or for good conversation. When you plug it in - using about as much energy as a hair dryer - it gets all nice and warm. Galanter & Jones have brought the principles of radiant floor heat to their stylish and comfortable caststone seating. 

More about the designers:

Galanter & Jones is a design + fabrication studio, run by brother/sister duo Aaron and Miranda Jones. Founded in 2012, they debuted with a line of heated outdoor seating, the first of its kind. The products are designed by Aaron and made in conjunction with talented California tradespeople.
