Rizzoli International Publications Coming Home: Modern Rustic: Creative Living in Dutch Interiors
With a carefully curated collection of interiors, including historic canal houses, restored farms, and green homes, belonging to interior designers, product designers, architects, and artists, this book showcases creative and resourceful living. These properties have been created or renovated and brought into the twenty-first century with typical Dutch style and sensibility environmentally friendly, imaginative uses of space filled with colour and charm and never to be taken too seriously. Each home in the book reflects the personality and spirit of the people who inhabit it. From designer Piet Hein Eek s converted factory space in Eindhoven to artist Claudy Jongstra s farmhouse in Spannum where chamomile grows in the biodynamic garden, Coming Home illustrates fun ideas and easy ways to incorporate individual style into your surroundings. Whether it s the traditional lowlands aesthetic of combining old and new, faded and inviting, into a casual chic or a quirky reinvention of a space that reveals a touch of eccentricity, this book illustrates why the Netherlands is truly loved by so many and can be an inspiration to us all.
