Inspiring interiors of advertising agencies around the world

Posted on October 2, 2011 | Leave a comment

From experience I know to what length advertising agencies go to attract the attention of prospects, peers and clients. Elaborate parties, treats, pressies, incentives; you name it. Crisis smisis; there’s money to be made because brands still need to be in the spotlight and are still looking for a partner in crime to spend a lot of cash with, and more importantly, on! And we all know the saying “you only get one chance to make a first impression”. Often that first impression is in the office of the agency. So it better impresses! My former colleague Paul Kramer blogs about the world of advertising on his blog Ad-aglance.com. He rounded up eight inspiring interiors of agencies around the globe. Have a look at TBWA (Tokyo), Brandbase (Amsterdam), Roorda (Amsterdam),JWT (New York), Leo Burnett (Sidney), Mother (London), Wieden & Kennedy (London)and Pullpo (Santiago) respectively.

Arjan’s apartment journey

Posted on September 14, 2011 | Leave a comment

Loyal Homevoyeurs aficionado Arjan took an apartment journey too. The day after I posted about my own, he took up the challenge and captured bits and pieces of his own home. Arjan doesn’t have an iPhone, therefore also doesn’t have the Hipstamatic app so the pictures are crystal clear. Maybe a bit too calculated too as the objects pictured are all high-end design pieces. The purpose was to find beauty in the unusual, the accidental or the overlooked, but the result is striking nonetheless.  The marble table pictures in the forefront of the image with the red Arne Jacobson Egg chair is a  rare Porsgrunn Poul Kjaerholm PK61 table. More about that in a later post!



If you are inspired by Arjan’s home, you might like this book about Arne Jacobson. It’s on sale now for $29,70 in the Homevoyeurs webshop.

Little things

A little red flower I found right outside my door. It must have blown away from the planters outside my neighbours kitchen window. I put it in a small vintage vase. It makes me smile.
