Innovative Furnishings From SixInch of Belgium





If you live outside of Belgium, Portugal or Japan, you may not be familiar with sixinch, which would be a shame given their unique approach to furniture design that incorporates a resilient foam coating.

If you're a modern furniture designophile, you might have seen the Voltaire chairs from their Louis Collection sold at various modern furniture stores on on various blogs. And if you haven't seen the Tetris table or the wonderful Hope Table... well, that's what I'm here for :)

Marcel Wanders Designs a Regal Christmas Collection for Bijenkorf Department Store





I'm a huge fan of just about everything Marcel Wanders touches. But, if you read my blog regularly, you already know this :) Whether it's his work for Moooi, Droog, interior design for hotels in Miami and Milan, his amazing collection for Holland Electro, wallpaper for Graham & Brown, his rugs for Colorline, his ceramics, his Swarovski pieces, his "House of Dreams" collection.... and I could go on and on. Now, in his inimitable style, he's done it again with a collection of gifts and more for a department store in Amsterdam.


He designed a beautiful new Christmas Collection of gifts for the Bijenkorf department store in Dam Square of Amsterdam as well as the in store decor and window displays that used Three Queens to introduce it with much pomp and circumstance.

The event was heralded by on December 6th with the arrival of Three Queens in carriages decked out in black, white and gold to match the collection.



As usual, Marcel Wanders never disappoints, with attention to everything related to his work and designs. The collection and accompanying elements are rich, elegant, regal and wintery.





The collection consists of wrapping paper, socks, teddy bears, lingerie, christmas balls, vases, patterned dresses and table decorations, all of which feel both festive and majestic. Here are most of the pieces from the collection:
