Try it out : The Kinfolk Table Antwerp

Already in less than two weeks some Kinfolk moods will be happen in Belgium and we chose again for Antwerp. Annemarie of Joy of little things and I will host this event together, we met thanks to the Kinfolk gatherings, so the purpose of the events is already proven, learning something new, get to know likeminded people and experience it together with them in a cosy atmosphere.

It's getting colder, so October is the perfect month for having long conversations at the table. To make this diner perfect we invited Loes & Krikke of Colonia to cook for us. At Joy of little things, Annemarie told us what we can expect of the evening, so take a look over here if you want to start mouth watering.
I'm looking very much forward to the 26th of October and I'm hoping to meet some new faces their.
If you would like to join us, you can buy your ticket here.

Report : Preserving the Season

Last Sunday the Kinfolk-gathering in Antwerp took place.  I organised it together with a dear friend and I really had the best time. Honestly, the week before the event was quite hectic and a little bit stressful, but the day itself made it completely worth it. So a thank you to all the nice people who participated!
And yes, there were two little kitties involved :).

Also thanks Melissa Milis, who made this beautiful, and very well captured, report.

The next Kinfolk-gathering is coming up as well and this will be for Belgium on 26th of October in Antwerp, more information about it: here.

Compilation : Memphis

Memphis Milano flickr (© www.memphis-milano.org)
I wanted to make this compilation inspired by the Memphis group months ago, the file on my desktop was filled with links and images, but it just never happened, the timing was not right I guess and then time passed by (oh so poetical) and... . But with the presentation of So Sottsass at Darkroom in London (and again : oooooww bummer I won't to see this for real..) and thanks to Sight Unseen (one of my favourite websites E.V.E.R, one of the few who's text I actually read and not only scroll through the images) as the greatest prophet of the whole Memphis revival since years, it eventually had to happen. And yes I'm absolutely a groupie of the Memphis group, who would have something against more colour and a return of 80's funky fun?
