And Beyond Studios asked me to design the library lounge and the lounge next to the fireplace as part of their Living room concept for new cultural venue het HEM in Zaandam.

The worn out red concrete floor inspired me to create a ton sur ton terra colour scheme which offers a warm, cosy vibe that immediately attracts and stands out. An unexpected mix of vintage Dutch design classics from all ages were reupholstered and re-contextualized. From Radboud van Beekum to Jan des Bouvrie and from Kho Liang Ie to Mazairac & Boonzaaijer. A vivid and graphic mix of Dutch furniture not often seen together.
