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.

Day 134 - Design I like: cute birdhouse (seen in Maastricht)

Last Sunday I was in Maastricht, a large city in the south of the Netherlands.

Maastricht is Dutch, but the atmosphere is definitely Parisian. It has luxury stores, lively shopping streets and a Burgundian lifestyle.

Of course I went to 'Wyck', a quarter with trendy boutiques and restaurants, art galleries and interior design shops.

In the Rechtstraat I discovered a boutique that sells this wooden birdhouse: a cafe for birds!
Cute, isn't it?
