After thirteen years in Milan, Theo Williams recently opened another office in Amsterdam. The new office will also bring him closer to Mexx. A Dutch fashion label he became design director of this year.

The designs and art directions of Theo Williams for large brands like Armani, Prada, Alessi and Benetton are simply stunning. A design studio of this caliber is a welcome addition to the design world in Amsterdam.

I don't think I'll have to introduce Droog Design. Except maybe to tell you they have a pilot store in Amsterdam (closed at the moment). Droog Design is possibly still the most renowned design label based in The Netherlands. Their first shows at the Milan Furniture Fair made waves they still ride on. Their popularity is so big it's almost impossible to live up to the expectations. Decide for yourself if they did with this year's new lineup of products you see here.

It's hard to describe the jewelry of Ted Noten. If they have one thing in common it's that they all tell you something about the concept of value. This translates into broches made from a Mercedes exterior and a real mouse with a pearl necklace casted in resin to name a few examples. It's obvious Ted Noten has quite a few stories to tell looking at the never failing conceptual works he produced over the past years.

Nicolette Brunklaus started her design label Brunklaus with a small collection of printed products. Lamp shades with a forest print on the inside, or outside, birch print "log" lamps and a set of blond curled hair print curtains. The blond hair curtains never hit the market, but are available on request. I have seen them once and I am sure they are worth the extra money.
