ONE MINUTE WONDERS

It’s always great to hear inspiring people telling about themselves and what drives them. We came across this series of videos, One Minute Wonders, which presents seven “people who live within a moment in time that we define as the Present Plus”. In sixty seconds, they talk about what they do for a living, their vision and future goals. Very inspiring, check it our here.

HOTSPOT: FRIDAY NEXT

Today, we would like to introduce another one of our favourite places in Amsterdam. If you’re a fan of design, interior and coffee – you’ll like it here too. Friday Next is a so-called concept store, bringing together a café with an interior design store.

We love to drop by, enjoy a delicious latte and glance over the furniture they offer, imagining what our dream house would look like. If you’re not immediately inspired by the furniture itself, you can always have a look at the “coffee table” books Friday Next sells. And for those of you who really want to step up their game; you can hire them for some personal interior advice.

You can find the store on Overtoom 31 in Amsterdam.

BACK TO THE FUTURE

We stumbled upon this series of photographs and we just had to share it with you. Photographer Irina Werning re-enacted people’s photos from the past, copying every single detail. It’s sharp, it’s touching, it’s admirable, and most of all: it’s hilarious.

INSIDE OUT

This week, the Berlinale (the Berlin Film Festival) takes place, which is one of the biggest film festivals in Europe. Like any other year, there will be lots of premiers, cool cult film and awards – which you know we love.

One premier in particular caught our attention: ‘Anton Corbijn Inside Out’, a documentary about Dutch multi-talent Corbijn. The film will show us who the man behind the amazing photography (he had Bono, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits in front of his lens), film and design is, recorded by Klaartje Quirijns. It will be in Dutch cinemas from the 22^nd of March, we can’t wait!
