Day 145 - Creative and social project: 1000 Social Sofa's in the Netherlands!

The idea behind the SocialSofa is simple and succesful:
- take a sofa (made from concrete),
- bring people together,
- and ask them to decorate the sofa with mosaic.

The result is a unique piece of public furniture, that not only brought people together,
but offers the neighborhood a place to meet and to communicate.

Yesterday, sofa numer 1000 has been placed in Tilburg, the city where the project started.

From there, the project spread all over the Netherlands and even goes worldwide now. Belgium and and even China have there first SocialSofas.

Day 16 - Textile design in the Netherlands

One of my favorite museums is the TextileMuseum in Tilburg, the Netherlands.

The Museum does not only exhibit and collect,
it is also develops and creates design, fashion and art at the so-called TextielLab.
