Day 299 - Dutch Design Week: Strijp-S

Strijp-S is one of the most inspiring areas of the Dutch Design Week.

I love the industrial atmosphere of this quarter, where you find amazing shops, such as Yksi, and wonderful coffee bars and restaurants.

On my way through Strijp-S I suddenly saw these yellow shoes. I followed them. They brought me to an amazing shop-in-shop (I forgot the name :-( ) in which  designers presented their work.

Day 297 - Dutch Design Week 2013: amazing lamp

Today I went to Eindhoven, a city in the southern part of the Netherlands. Each year, in October, they organize the Dutch Design Week.

This year I started my visit at Strijp-S, a former industrial quarter of the city. In the 'Klokgebouw' I saw this amazing lamp, made of... coffee!

Designer Raúl Lauri experimented with coffee, and succeeded in transforming it into a material that can be used for product design. Such as these bowls and this lamp.
