I saw a lot of beautiful things. In this post a few of my favorites.

Ieva Laurine is a member of a designer’s collective called ‘Design drive’. She is from Riga, Latvia. She made this hammock…and these are her words…

The hammock is like a flying cloud. And it can make you fly as well. It gives shelter from the busy everyday life, taking you into another world. It is like going back in time to your childhood, when everything seemed so easy and accessible and you could almost walk above the ground. The hammock can be used inside the house as well as outside. Besides the functional side it is a sculptural object that reacts on wind blow and movement. Photo: Reinis Hofmanis

The exhibition took place in the tropical greenhouses of The Hortus in Utrecht. So not only the designer’s work was very inspiring but so was the beautiful ambiance. In one of the greenhouses a water basin was located with enormous (tropical) lily leaves floating on the surface of the water. This beautiful scene casted a positive spell on Jan and it inspired him to make this abstract and  symmetrical shape witch resembles strongly lily leaves. Jan made this beautiful bracelet and also a few rings with the shape of the leaves.
