Rotterdam… There was this place called heaven where they sold a funny type of bag (do you know it? It’s this brand called Susan Bijl. It’s so cool, you should really check it out.

Piet Hein Eek is another place you should visit when in Eindhoven. Piet Hein Eek designs and manufactures furniture and other things, most famous of which are his scrapwood objects. Not all of his designs are my style, but I can really appreciate his way of working, which is about combining uncommon materials and also Read more…
Mangiare is the perfect spot in Rotterdam for treating yourself on a delicious Italian lunch and afterwards having a look in the lovely and friendly shop of Nen Xavier just across the street (the Van Oldebarneveltstraat, which is close to the – new!! cool!! – central station).
