me news
made in stone
last saturday, whilst researching a project i am working on, i visited the friendly owner of ‘houtdraaierij riet’ in amsterdam, one of the few remaining old woodworking shops in town
his father and grandfather owned the shop before him and he very kindly spent some time sharing his latest project with me: learning how to carve traditional ‘gable stones’ of which there are a great many in amsterdam… mostly depicting the profession of the resident of the building they were placed on
this one features himself as a stone mason, with a view on the noorderkerk church (near where his grandfathers shop used to be located) and he has even added a famous local resident: ‘rembrandt van rijn’ looking in through a window… inspiring stuff
ideas that get shared
here are a few more images from the ‘nomads’ project… i promise i will stop posting about this project after today!
the friendly people from ‘amsterdam ad blog’ have also posted a short piece on the nomads identity this morning
ideas that travel
here are some more images from the ‘nomads’ visual identity project we have just completed, see more images from yesterdays post here
