this righty concrete - symbiosis is naturally turning into an overgrown and green beauty. the process is slow, we need lots of patience, but we’ve told ourself not to intervene or speed up the organic growth and just let the natural elements have their way with our concrete brain.

“It’s good to be challenged once in a while by working in a completely different setting, it makes you look at your work from a new perspective.” 

We were invited for an one day residency at The Loft in Amsterdam. We brought a selection of beautiful work by several of our Living - Rooms creatives to play around with in the stunning, light and magical space. We worked on some of our individual projects, especially for the occasion we made a desert edition of our Grow Shoes and gave them a nice spot for the day.
