Industrial Living

Limited Editions

Easy living and working comfortably. These two ingredients were smartly combined by this Parisian designer in a former factory in the heart of France's capital. Cool crochet and exquisite embroidery, the personal signature of her work, became the stylish touch of the interior. An interior filled with limited editions of which we get an inspirational glimpse.

A Port's Pearl 1

A Port's Pearl

Being completely smitten at first sight was reason enough to blindly take the consequences on board: having to renovate an entirely neglected industrial property on a quay of Rotterdam's harbour. The result: a modernised, quirky spot to be and work holding the signature of its industrial history. Or in other words: a pearl in a port!

Petit Palace

'A minimalistic space with a minimalistic approach.' These were the main requirements for finding a suitable location for this artistic entrepreneur.

Dutch Daring 1

Dutch Daring

Passionate about the Meditarranean lifestyle, Bart and Marieke left the Netherlands, moved to France and bought an imposing property, built in 1739. Tucked away in a narrow street, this manufactory was once used for the production of royal linen, but today it hosts guests from all over the world. The intensive restoration resulted in a blend of modern design, authentic features, vintage furniture and vivid colours. Dutch daring of the best kind!

Some things are just meant to be: passionate about industrial properties, Gaby lived as an art student in this former paint factory. Many years later the same property was offered to her for sale.

Never Ending Story 1

Never Ending Story

A family home filled from top to bottom with the items of a true collector, affected Wendy's reality of daily life rather seriously. She now sells her pieces, which enables her to turn her 'collecting mania' into a never ending story: she can continue taking pieces home, change the collection all the time but never end up with a home that is too cluttered. Best of both worlds? Yes indeed!
