Category is Lamps. Mimi Berlin is at it again!
The ‘On and Off Face’ lamp is made with, once discarded, plastics from tupperware to…well, everything but the kitchen sink.

We, at Mimi Berlin, have been away from our blog for over a year. we need to update you, our readers, on what we’ve been up to all this time. Well, amongst other things, and in a nutshell; we created faces.
All these faces are contstructed with plastic. Discarded plastic, early plastics….from Tupperware to…..well, everything but the kitchen sink.
Sammelwut is a German term; literally translated into English as collectors rage. But it rather means the deep urge to collect stuff. As you know we, at Mimi Berlin, are almost professional collector’s, also our objects are made of what we collect. Rob Geertman, the owner of the Sammelwut store chose a number of Faces, made by us, to showcase at Sammelwut. Sammelwut we love that word and we are very pleased that our work can be found at this art and interior store in Nijmegen.
“Sammelwut is the store in Nijmegen for lovers of contemporary art and a stylish and modern interior. In our store you will find a varying range of artworks combined with an inspiring collection of home accessories.”
Nijmegen is a lovely city in The Netherlands, set in the ‘river landscape between the Rhine, Meuse and Waal rivers “Nijmegen is also the oldest city in The Netherlands so a city-stroll will bring you to castles and “archaeological finds dating back to the Romans and other times” The Sammelwut shop is situated in the city-center in the Lange Hezelstraat 89, 6511 CE Nijmegen
It’s always wonderful if somebody loves your work enough to purchase it. That happend with our nude selfportrait the other day. We made an artwork for the exhibition “Reflection in Time” initiated by Nannet van der Kleijn at Bradwolff projects in Amsterdam. @maritsatelier framed the canvas we created and it looks goog, in our opinion.

Have a nice Sunday,

A quick face named Ziggy, made by Mimi Berlin.
Red Nose, is a portrait and a musicbox.
Red Nose is a part of the ‘Important Bagatelles‘ series, made only with discarded (early) plastics by Mimi Berlin. Red Nose is a unique work, signed by Mimi Berlin.
This is a crappy video of the Red Nose portait in action, there is little action; but it’s cute.
