Between airports

LauraKirsten is on the move, having spent the last three months on holiday in sunny Cebu island.  We’re continuously searching for the next collection and the next destination to feature great accents and furniture that goes into the making of a beautiful interior.

And while we are scouring furniture shows, Manila’s recently concluded and two are ongoing in Cebu and Kuala Lumpur as we speak — or write, we stumble on a lot of fascinating and cheerful sights along the way.  So let us start by chronicling this journey where it all began: Schipol Airport in Amsterdam.

Love it when an international airport departs from looking just like one of the many sleek and modern airports, which if you travel often enough, you won’t be able to tell one from the other.  We haven’t seen any airport embracing it’s national identity  and showcasing it in such a playful and accessible way as Schipol does.

Fauteuil Nemo by Fabio Novembre

Eyes at the back of your head … or between.



This chair has caught my eye for quite some time now as I pass by it everyday, right at the corner of my house.  I finally walked into the shop today and asked its owner all about it.  Here is the information I gleaned.

This arm chair reportedly debuted at Salon del Mobile in Milan 2010.  It is designed by Italian architect Fabio Novembre who is known for his “anthropomorphic” designs, among others.  It is made of polyethylene (a very hard kind of plastic).

It is available in white, red and black for EUR 1,045.00 and is possible for both indoor or outdoor placements.

This chair reminds me that just because it’s not exactly something that one would personally choose or buy doesn’t mean that it’s not interesting … or beautiful.
