Animated film to be released by the end of October

After a year of preparation I finally started filming a personal dream in which my products come to life.

At this moment my team is busy translating all ideas into a short animated film.

The film impression  is designed as a visual rhyming of my collection. I wanted to communicate the personal sphere in which I created my designs. It will take you from one world to another.

The Brunklaus 2- minute film will be released by the end of October.

Uscha van Banning

I would like to share with you the fantastic work of Uscha van Banning. She is an incredibly talented young designer .
She is working as an Interior designer but also does product design from  furniture to lighting. On her travels around the world she has developed a very interesting portfolio with photography.
At the moment she resides in  Australia.
I can't wait to see her new pictures from over there.
Please take a look at her website and get inspired.

Presenting Brunklaus Amsterdam to the Scandinavian world

Dear all,
I just returned from the Stockholm furniture fair, where we presented the Brunklaus collection.
I find this fair one of the most fun in Europe. It is a  good size and of very high quality.  The Swedish people are relaxed and still enjoy high quality products.
We had an enormous good response to the collection, even though the shady tree lighting has been around since 2002 the new colors matched very well with the deep printed textiles  against a white background and floor .
Here are some pictures!

I would like to thank all that came to visit us and see you next year.

Event in Denmark, Mekavi, Bo Bedre, Brunklaus

Last Wednesday I did an event in Copenhagen, organized by Mekavi and the Danish home magazine Bo Bedre. Mekavi had a beautiful exhibition space prepared when i arrived  very white, large and high. 

I spoke about my designs to the Bo Bedre readers and  it was great that even though the heavy weather conditions a big crowd  showed up. 

Here you can find a video of the exhibition:

New York and Oslo

   One of the things that have been on my agenda for a long time is to visit New York again.

 I was there last week to visit  friends and colleagues and to just experience the creative energy of this big city. 

I was very much inspired by the art bookfair at PS1, all art bookpublishers in one building displayed their book collections. I found a book on Merit Oppenheim and am still in search for a copy of Elsa Schiaparelli.

At the Moma I attended the opening of the
Building Collections: Recent Acquisitions of Architecture please follow this link

I visited the Mood fabric store (project runway) in the garment district, what a great place for fabric lovers, left over fabrics from a wide range of fashion designers are just for sale in this shop.

From New york with a one day stop at the studio in Amsterdam I left for Oslo.

In Oslo at Eske: the shop was redesigned by Karina Holmen, Eske has a large range of Brunklaus design

from the house of anne,vintage forest, portrait pillows to the new colors of the shady tree lamp and the house of anne lamp.

The house of anne theme is inspired on my old boarding school that I attended when I was a little girl.

The day before the building got demolished all our girls (age range from 30 to 80) were invited for one last visit.

I was completly surprised that the building and interior were exactly the same  as when I was 10. For the collection see http://www.brunklaus.nl/en/collection/pillows/houseofanne

Party at the Brunklaus studio

For the second time we organised a dinner party at the brunklaus studio.We asked everybody to take their favourite  vinyl albums and food. It was so much fun to have creatives from different diciplines meeting up.

X and L, Xander and Leon

I just met up with X and L, two incredible interior designers, Xander Vervoort and Leon van Boxtel. 

I am a big fan of their work  the way they  use simple forms  and know how to integrate this in old and modern  architecture . To see more visit www.xandl.nl
