Cocoon Living inspiration trip to Paris

On Monday it finally was time, the Cocoon Living team travelled to Maison&Object in Paris. The purpose of this trip was to view inspiration, ideas and the viewing newest trends in interior and design. Also our search for specific furniture for our projects has also been successful.

We visited several of or fixed suppliers on the fair. One tendency we were confirmed in was that the seventies Rule!  All goes back to the seventies., fashion, hair, interior, colour schemes, flower arrangements, it feels like its been long since a trend was so clearly visible and mind changing as now. Curvy shapes and bouclé fabrics. Graphic patterns and bright colours!  Also a huge confirmation of the direction with the style of the Cocoon collectables web shop, and the design of several current projects.

From structural shapes to modern silhouettes by Anouk Hart

anouk hart

Anouk Hart maakte drie jaar geleden de sprong van mode-styling naar fotografie. In dat korte tijdsbestek heeft ze een eigen niche weten te creëren, werkend voor zowel commerciële als redactionele klanten. Als ze niet fotografeert in haar eigen studio in het hart van Amsterdam of op locatie, reist ze de wereld over. Anouk heeft recent een prachtige serie foto’s gemaakt met model Lieke en collectables van Cocoon House.

Cocoon Collectables @ Salon Heleen Hülsmann

Heleen Hülsmann is de elegante motor achter de gelijknamige Salon Heleen Hülsmann, een high end vintage winkel in Amsterdam-Zuid. Altijd al modegek, ontdekte ze een gat in de markt: waarom was er geen adres met zorgvuldig geselecteerde tweedehands designerkleding? Ze begon met een kledingrek op de Lairessestraat in Amsterdam en raakte al snel bekend. Inmiddels is ze een begrip en is ze verhuist naar de Willemsparkweg 166 in Amsterdam.

In haar salon momenteel twee vintage rotanstoelen uit de jaren 50 uit de collectie van Cocoon Collectables.
