IMM / Passagen - all set up!

Passagen / IMM 2016 has started and we're all set up at Salon Zwei in Ehrenfeld, Cologne.

If you're visiting the IMM, don't forget about Ehrenfelds' design parcours, and -more specifically- make sure to visit Salon Zwei at the Gutenbergstrasse.

Here's a close up of the little map from the Passagen booklet, showing where you should be (#76):

Don't just look through the window, but walk in for a closer look of our latest projects: The first chapter of our stoneware glazing experiment Off the ground and the Confetti & Fireworks necklaces.
Also, many of the products are for sale. Some of them only during this week.

We're having a little soiree with music and drinks this Thursday.
Will we see you there?

House of Thol @ Salon Zwei - IMM/Passagen 2016

18-24 January 2015 | SALON ZWEI

The first furniture fair of each year is the one in Köln, the IMM: By the end of January the whole German city is about fresh design and innovative ideas.
The actual fair takes place in the 'Messe', but there are plenty design-related events going on throughout the entire city.

And this year we'll be there too: House of Thol will present a fresh and green exhibition with new and renewed designs at Salon Zwei in Ehrenfeld.
We're planning on being there from Thursday on, will we see you?

We Want You

Yes, we're there: we have enough ongoing projects to make it interesting for an intern to come help us out.

Do you love materials and experiments and aren't you afraid of getting your hands dirty?

Send us an e-mail with your resume and portfolio and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Happy Confetti Plant wishing you a great 2016

Happy New Year everybody!

I know, it's halfway through the week already so this might come a bit late, but that's for a good reason:
We're kicking off 2016 with a fresh calendar that's completely full with both new and ongoing projects, interesting collaborations and exciting adventures. We love what we do, and right now we could use more hours in a day to do it...

Coming up, for example: We'll be in Köln during the Furniture Fair IMM later this month, where we hope to showcase a renewed version of our 'In the Clouds' tableware. 

Expect more about the exhibition soon.

Also, this is the last month the exhibition Ceramix is running in the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht, so if you have the chance, make this month a bit less blue by visiting the city in the south and its museum (don't forget the gift shop).

Did you receive the newsletter we sent out earlier this week? 

Missed it? No worries. Click here to read it online (or here for the Dutch version).

We're all for making this the best year yet! Are you in?

Not to miss: Ceramix @ Bonnefantenmuseum Maastricht

Ceramix - Bonnefantenmuseum Maastricht until January 31st

Last Weekend i got to flip through the catalogue of the beautiful exhibition 'Ceramix' that's currently on show at the Bonnefantenmuseum in Maastricht.
Looking through the book made me realise i almost forgot to mention that House of Thol is a tiny bit part of the show: For the duration of the Ceramix exhibition, our porcelain tableware 'In the Clouds' is part of the collection of the gift shop of the Bonnefantenmuseum.

Sadly we didn't have a chance to visit the exhibition ourselves yet, but i hope to be able to schedule a trip to Maastricht somewhere in the next weeks.

With the catalogue in mind i'd advice anyone with a love for ceramics and art to visit Ceramix before the end of this month.
The exhibition will travel to France later this year: first to Paris this spring, and after that to Sevres.

Running into this: More Than Classic publication Summer 2015

We almost missed this one.
Or, i guess we did miss it... This publication in Dutch magazine More Than Classic came out last summer, and we only retrieved the hard copy a little while ago, even though the editor so kindly sent it to our studio.

Too bad we didn't get to give it the proper attention when the magazine was in stores.
We're still pretty happy to be mentioned though!
