Dutch Design Week 2014 | UP

UP it certainly was, the theme of the Dutch Design week, this year. 

Together with a team of inspiring bloggers I was liveblogging from the Pop-up Bloggerscafe at Coffeelovers in the Centre of Eindhoven yesterday about the Dutch Design Week. I can tell you it's hard 'to blog' surrounded by a team of cosy chatting bloggers... 

This Pop-up Bloggerscafe is created by the talented Lonneke Bubblemint who did a great job organizing this exciting concept and taking care of us together with our sweet teamleader Suzanne de Jong from the blog ENSUUS.

To see everything the Dutch Design Week offers is almost impossible. There are 400 events at 86 locations. 
Thanks to some tips and after a delicious Latte Macchiato we decided to start our 'bloggers tour' at the Design Academy Graduation Show in the Center Area of Eindhoven. A must see if you are going to the Dutch Design Week and still possible to admire until this Sunday October 26.

After the creative environment of young Dutch talent we, Franca of VillaDesta and Marij of Enter My Attic, took one of the called Design Rides: Free taxis that take you from one location to another to go to the industrial and trade Strijp Area to visit Piet Hein Eek. 

At Piet Hein Eek, known for his scrapwood furniture, situated in a former Philips factory building, you could see a lot of temporary and permanent exibitions of Dutch Designers and of course I needed to admire Piet Hein Eeeks new collection.

Left with too little time we went walking back to the bloggerscafe and have briefly looked at the Schellensfabriek Area.

I recommend to everyone to go over here and admire the talented Dutch Designers. For me it was a great fun experience with a super friendly bloggers team and a top organization thanks to Lonneke Bubble Mint and Suzanne de Jong. Thank you very much. I went home thinking about all those beautiful impressions.
