Designer pied à terres, that’s how MyCityLofts describe their recently launched home-away-from-home apartments in the Dutch city of Rotterdam
Dutch architect Arlette Goslinga buys, remodels, decorates and personalizes apartments in the most sought after area’s of Rotterdam. She turns them into wonderful loft-like short- or long stay rentals. Arlette oversees the remodeling and decorates the places herself. From the tiles in the bathroom to the spatula in the kitchen drawer; she pays equal attention to all. There are even books on the shelves. The idea is to make guests feel like they are living in Rotterdam for at least a while.

Vase Ming by Ibride
This vase offers more than meets the eye. Actually, it doesn’t offer what the eye makes you believe as I don’t think it actually works as a vase… But it does offer 6 different hand painted bowls and cups.
Reveals 6 hand painted cups and bowls
It is designed by French design collective Ibride
As a kid I used to love the Jan Jans en de Kinderen comics. Non-Dutchies have no idea what I am talking about, but trust me; funny and recognizable stuff! The characters in the comic were often portrayed sitting on the family sofa. A modern, simple and stylish sofa without arm rests and without any frills. I loved that sofa, and decided I wanted one when I grew up.

Imagine my surprise when I found out that it was likely inspired on a real Dutch design. The BR.02.7 sofa by Martin Visser. It was designed back in 1960 and is still being made. I love the simple lines and airy design. The style of our house and decor might not suit it anymore, but I would still love to own one….

Sadly, the designer died in 2009.
