vlisco freedom

one of the most original poster designers i know ‘michiel schuurman’ quit his practice last year to go and work full-time as an in-house textile designer at renowned dutch textile brand ‘vlisco’

i’ve been meaning to interview him for a while now about how it’s going and whether he made the right decision… but too late: somebody at mercedes benz already has… sounds great (despite the multi-language website it’s a dutch only interview sadly)
