Recently I’m posting many thing on Dutch designer Alexander van Slobbe. I met him in the moment  I was in the process of organizing the seminar  The Future of Retail at Westerdals School of Communication. I had a great programm with really great professionals: Robert Thiemann,  the Editor-in- Chief of Frame magazine; Thomas Mick, Director of Dior Interior Retail & Visual Merchandising and Charlotte Bjorklund from Li Edelkort’s  Trend Union, but I was missing something. I guess, I was still missing my personal answer where the future of retail is for me. And somehow this man, that I had not have any idea about before I came to Amsterdam and just  walked into his shop,  who was taking very slowly,  gave me my personal answer. ( Specially after Robert Thiemann told me the whole his story : about  Alexander van Slobbe going  to Japan, becoming a big brand there and after leaving for home.) I believe that his New Luxury is my Future of Retail: designers and products made and sold locally not because of a wish to make a fashion super-empire ( I believe this time is over: Armani was the last one) , but doing the things you believe in. 

Do it differently than even your friends do. Choose yourself what to read, what to buy and what to eat.Now when everyone is some kind of  “healthy ” diet, the most popular is to  avoiding carbohydrates,  I believe, that sourdough bread, made in the bakery on the corner from your house,  is luxury. used barber chairs for sale in michiganBecause it’s fresh, solf and tasty. hanging pod chair new zealandIt’s not about a brand: is it Åpen Bakery or United Bakeries, it’s about the right way of making  and selling bread.chair and table hire auckland But in terms of New Luxury, I’ve already contacted Eventarchitectuur, who did the shop for Alexander van Slobbe.wheelchair vans for sale atlanta ga

Would you like to participate? Not at the momentIf you've flipped or scrolled through the pages of any design magazine or blog, you're likely to be familiar with Ray and Charles Eames 's iconic lounge chair.

The walnut-and-leather design has become near ubiquitous in a certain type of well-styled (or brand-conscious) interior since its conception in 1956. Once place you might not expect to see the omnipresent seat, though? As our friends at Apartment Therapy pointed out on Friday, design-savvy shoppers spotted the high-end piece at one of the discount store's locations in Palm Desert, California. While the chairs for (and on) sale appeared to be authentic Herman Miller, a representative for the company told Apartment Therapy that Costco is not, unsurprisingly, an authorized retailer. The lounge has since been removed from Costco's website, but if you happen to pass by one of the stores, pop in to try your chances at snagging an unusual design deal.citizenM Hotel Interiors, Amsterdam A trip or travel is said to be perfect only when we find a home away from home. Any tourist destination would boast of hotels and resorts that cater to the needs of its tourists. Here we cover one such magnificent hotel by the name citizenM, located at Amsterdam.

With the opening of this hotel after the first citizenM hotel at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, they are now officially a hotel chain. Located in Amsterdam’s financial district, between the World Trade Centre and city centre, the 215 room, five floor hotel was designed by the Dutch architectural firm Concrete. The plush interiors of the hotel are elegantly designed giving a cozy feel. There is a variety of designer furnishings including the Marshmallow sofa by George Nelson, the new Vegetal chairs by the Bouroullec brothers, child-size Panton chairs, the Porcupine Desk by Hella Jongerius, and cute plywood elephants by Ray and Charles Eames. With rates starting at 69 Euros a night, citizenM continues to target the frequent traveler market.The low rates are made possible by the ultra-compact rooms that are actually built in a factory and then transported to the site and stacked on top of the pre-built ground floor. The hotel includes beautiful spaces to wine and dine with a lovely ambiance.
