RIJKSMUSEUM

Last Friday, as a late birthday gift for my brother, we visited the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It was amazing to see the pieces of Dutch art through the centuries. I always love to think back about my lessons in art history when wandering around in a museum. It keeps on being something special the moment I see a piece of art that I've discussed during art history class. Unfortunately we could not manage to see all of the museum, so I have to come back one day. The rijksmuseum is definetely something you should have seen, not only because of its tremendous collection of art but also because of the amazing building!

PROJECT | WINTER JACKET

Although summer is still around us I continued making my new jacket for upcoming winter. I started a while ago but unfortunately the graduation project took all of my time so I had to leave this aside. As you can see the inner part is starting to build up. Tomorrow I will look for some strings and buttons at the weekly textiles market that I can use to shape the jacket.

Winter Jacket - layers.

Winter Jacket - connecting front and back part.

Hope you’ve had a nice weekend!

CHINA

It has been a while since I updated the blog because my graduation sucked up all of my time. At the start of July I finished my Masters degree in Industrial Design at the University of Technology Eindhoven, the Netherlands!
After that I went on a study trip to China for three weeks. It was amazing to be warmly welcomed by different companies, a factory and universities. Furthermore I was intrigued by the cultural differences and the beautiful nature. I hope to visit China again some time. For more stories about the trip see this blog.
