Clemens Maassen - art & design

Open studio days in Maastricht some time in May, I should have posted this quite some time ago as a kind of preview...

absolutely gorgeous chairs, some of them with reclaimed material like the Dutch post sack...

... or an embroidered piece of needlecraft from the artist's mother

beautiful lighting, not quite visible in the picture because of the busy backdrop

Next to being a furniture builder and lighting designer, Clemens Maassen is also a painter. 

Those who follow my blog know I do love artists' studios.

looking for the bits you won't find in the galleries... the work space and material

and off course the art itself...

the paintings on this wall are the reason why the work of Clemens Maassen and myself were brought together in an exhibition with theme : urbanisation... more on that - and more paintings - in the next post

pop-up restaurant - Local Food Local Homes

The industrial part of Maastricht - Netherlands, close to the Belgian border.

I love this kind of decay

In the quiet open space between out-of-business factories, a small temporary herb garden...

and next to it a wooden open pavillon...

it looks inviting...

benches covered in soft warm sheep skins...

the wooden structure glows with a warm light...

next to it a team is hard at work in the open kitchen...

Local Food Local Homes is a project by REcentre, a centre for sustainable design

dinners are entirely prepared with locally grown and produced food of the Meuse-Rhine Euregio

the pavillon 'Guesthouse Belvedere 2.0' is designed by Maurer United Architects

We didn't get there in time to try the food.  It was the very last day of the restaurant on this spot and the place was fully booked.  Next time it pops up somewhere we definetely will try it.

But we got there just in time to make a few snapshots before the first guests arrived...

Zjos Meyvis - fertilisation engines

One of my favorite artists ... I simply love these poetic engines.

apparaat om de lucht te kleuren - engine to colour the air *

draagbare stuifmeelverspreider - portable pollen spreader *

zuurstofrecuperator - oxygen recuperator *

* I did not find the english translation of the artworks by the artist, I took the liberty of translating them myself as the title adds poetry to the objects. My apologies if it is not done accurately.
