Inspiration

Apart from travelling, visiting antique shops and auctions there are a few people that inspire me a bit extra and therefore are worth mentioning.

Kelly Wearstler
Is  the absolute best interior designer with an enormous eye for details and a creativity beyond this world.
Being able to create scenes  from all worlds and all times in one and the same place.
Making them the most beautiful settings.

Barton Myers
The worlds most playful and  inventive architect. With buildings that are very stylish yet raw. Using basic materials to create the most sober, and elegant  constructions with a high-tech  feel that always feels new.

Tadao Ando
Is able to make the most beautiful, harmonious and peaceful architecture of today .
His engagement in material and construction is admirable and he really knows what grand architecture is all about.

Claudio Silvestrin
Is showing us what minimalism really is and constantly proves to us that naked spaces can feel warm and homey, using very few details.
Knowing how to use a very subtle and monotonous palette, still making it feel colorful.
