AsGoodAsNew POP UP STORE - AMSTERDAM by I29


With a mantra to ‘reduce, reuse, recycle,’ Dutch studio i29 has realized a monochromatic pop-up shop for furniture label AsGoodAsNew.
The result is largely one-toned is filled with accessories like sofas, chairs, lamps and other accessories. All have been coated in a layers of industrial spray-on plastic to give them a new aesthetic.
‘We find old stuff we like, we fix it, we cover it with our special blend of solvent-free grey matter,’ say Jaspar Jansen and Jeroen Dellensen of i29.
Inspiration for the project came from the Gummo office which they designed four years ago. Everything in the office was sourced from Marktplaats.nl (a type of Dutch eBay), and was coated in grey and white to form a ‘simple, complicated, no-nonsense’ result.  
The AsGoodAsNew pop-up is located in popular fashion shop SPRMRKT. It’s owner, Nelleke Strijkers, says ‘Everything  in SPRMRKT’s recycled home is covered in a mat, dark grey nuance, which gives the little shop a highly conceptual look with arty vintage furniture mixing in perfectly in SPRMRKT’s high-fashion universe.’

THE GIRI RESIDENCE AND SPA HOTEL - IBIZA

Wow, a new hotel in the north of Ibiza. I already had the experience of having a gorgeous dinner at the Giri Club in San Juan. Definitely have to check this out one day.






















OLD FRENCH CONVERTED BARN


Josephine Gintzburger took an old barn of 4,300Sqm in Bourgogne, France and converted it into this beautiful and cozy family home. The mix of texture such as concrete and wood, vintage antique with contemporary, the thick wooden beams and the mix of old and new brings a special character to the place that makes feels like home!
