So, back in Holland and Seton back in LA (in the sun…grr) but will be back here in few weeks.
The reality is just coming down on me now, all the things we have been doing over the last two years seem like a dream, a very strange dream, from London the hippedy hip place to be to the cloudy, curios, roughness of Guangzhou to the floating, sunny, dream world LA . Working with huge T-shirts, fruit chairs, shoes, casinos, bands and move directors…
And now we are back again to were we started this journey, the county that we ran away from so quickly without a thought and without the idea that we would be back one day. The country of small beers, crazy bike riders, tall, curly people, bad haircuts and “hurting my throat” language.
But, but, there is a positive side to being here, it is good to be back to good design, good european food, the people that understand the design language I have come to learn.
And Amsterdam is a interesting city, full of crazy drunk English men in one corner, nerdy tourists in another bigger corner in yellow and red rain jackets, boats and bikes all over traveling very fast, hippies, and us in search for a new cozy corner and to dry up with a good coffee or a mint tea.
Still I’m not understanding how it all happend. Only leafing Iceland for school in Eindhoven…. it sounded so innocent, inn and out, that is it..
But now the new adventure starts, here in a big studio in the center of amsterdam and in a new design job. Very good..
