Favourite place in the Euregio:
“I love to get a coffee at Koffie in Maastricht and then enjoy it in the sun, while sitting on the old city wall. But also the inner garden of the Jan van Eyck Academie.
Or the beautiful artists studio of RAVI residence in Liege. The historical old town in Aachen.”

What is your favorite (design) design, product (in your life/work/interior)?

“An imitation of a Calder mobile, because it’s just beautiful to look at it and it’s flowing and changing shape by reacting to the air.”

I dream of this design product or item and hope to have it someday:

“A real Calder mobile 🙂 or also an Anne B ü scher one.”

I find this inspiring
design story/
Company:

“Rifò,
an emerging brand of clothes and accessories. They produce high-quality products, made with recycled textile fibers and made in Italy.”

This is an inspiring book that everyone should have read:
