Working Waterworks

Edwin Pelser Minimarket by UNOBVIOUS @ De Hallen

Every now and again a new hotspot pops up in every city.
In Amsterdam the latest place to be is 'De Hallen' a former tram depot in the West side of town.

One of the occupants of this garage complex is creative studio Unobvious, and together with Edwin Pelser (of the well known designstore in Den Haag) they set up a temporary mini-design-supermarket.

The Minimarket is all about making design approachable: prices start at €1,80,-, with the most expensive piece costing €199,-.
The shops' interior is made of 100 auction boxes, that showcase the collection of young Dutch and Scandinavian Design in a surprisingly stylish way.

We're very happy the Minimarket is a point of sale for Waterworks.
Make sure to visit the hotspot before its gone: visit the Minimarket before the end of the year.

How to work your Waterworks | New bilingual manual

Since we were almost running out of Waterworks manuals, it was time for a bilingual redesign of the Waterworks how-to folder that comes with every set.

It has been quite some time in the making (with this going on) but here it is:

A 1-2-3 description of how to use the Waterworks System on the inside...

...And more information about the cones + the reasons to have more houseplants on the outside, all in both English and Dutch.

Get the Waterworks-set with the new manual now via www.shophouseofthol.nl.

A few snapshots of Designkwartier

We visited Designkwartier in Den Haag yesterday. Here are a few snapshots of the Plant Power pop-up shop (via Instagram).

Since the weather wasn't all that we ended up spending a lot of time taking shelter in a restaurant and didn't see nearly all the things we wanted to see.
On the up-side: the Pasta Kantine (where pretty much everyone ended up, judging by the full house) was a great place to have lunch. They're in Rotterdam too, check out their website.
