Design That's Up To Par. La Bolleur's Mini Golf Course.




La Bolleur's mini golf club, a constructed nine hole course with a clubhouse and bar, has been traveling abroad. The installation by the multidisciplinary design group ( who won the Dutch Design Award in 2009 for their excellent method of communicating their brand), most recently appeared at Milan Design week and at Zona Tortona.














A little background:
Five years ago Timon van der Hijden, Zowie Jannink and Steie van Vugt decided to change the scene at La Bolleur - a former brothel in the city of Eindhoven. They literally transformed the lounge and made it their own by undertaking major creative projects which the city of Eindhoven never experienced before.

Since its inception, they've added five members to the collective; Cris Bartels, Bram Burger, Ivo J. Daniëls, Mark van Gennip and Frank Winnubst.

With their 'hands-on' mentality, the multidisciplinary collective has appeared in many events all over the Netherlands and exhibited at the 'Salone del Mobile' in Milan.

Anke Weiss' Working Sterling Silver Security Tags





Extra ID jewellery by Dutch designer Anke Weiss imitates the security tags attached to items of clothing in shops to prevent them from being stolen. The pieces are made from sterling silver and include actual security alarm parts.

Designer Anke Weiss also makes one of my favorite rugs, the snow-angel rug. Made of sheepskin, it has a snow angel shaved within it:
