What do the Red and Blue chair designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1918, The Wassily chair, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925 and the Lounge chair and ottoman designed by Eames in 1959, have in common, except for the fact they are designed in the 20th century? Well, these design icons have all been re-invented by Dutch Designers. Just that.
Red and Blue Chair designed by Gerrit Rietveld in 1917. Wassily Chair, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925 (currently produced by Knoll). Lounge chair and ottoman designed by Eames in 1959. (currently produced by Herman Miller)
There are probably are more examples. Please be so kind to share them with us if you know! Thanks! xoxo Mimi

Gisteren, op 1 April (2017) werd het Het Poëzie Museum feestelijk geopend in het Conservatorium Hotel te Amsterdam, maar het museum zelf is te vinden op het Museumplein. Waar anders!? Het Poëzie Museum is een virtueel museum met een fysieke locatie. Internationational Silence initieerde en gaf op een prachtige manier vorm aan het museum. Schrijver Anna Enquist is de curator.
“Het Museum is een innovatieve cross-over tussen literatuur, vormgeving, typografie, architectuur en Augmented Reality, in het museale hart van Amsterdam”
Je kunt gedichten lezen van 10 Nederlandse Dichters. Ms Enquist heeft van iedere dichter 6 werken gekozen. De dichters, waaronder Annie M.G. Schmidt en Elly de Waard, hebben een eigen paviljoen gekregen waar je doorheen kunt lopen. Goddank is het museum 24 uur per dag gratis te bezoeken via een app, 60 gedichten lezen tijdens 1 museumbezoek lijkt ons niet haalbaar….De eerste tentoonstelling is een jaar lang te bezoeken aan het Museumplein te Amsterdam.
Zomer-Tip van Mimi Berlin: Start deze Zomer een Poëzie groepje! Loop lekker in t gras met je blote v terwijl je Het Poëzie Museum bezoekt! Neem een pick-nick mandje mee en vergeet je Smart Phone vooral niet!
Het Poezië Museum Vanaf 1 april 2017 geopend aan het Museumplein van Amsterdam.
Mimi Blogger Team was bij de opening, en natuurlijk namen we Party Snaps! ZIE ZE HIER

Mimi Berlin Blogger team visited ‘Maarten Baas Makes Time’; an interdisciplinary exhibition curated by Dutch designer Maarten Baas, designed by Baas himself together with theatre director Joris van Midde, at the Dutch Design Week of 2016. Binding factor of this exhibition was, of course; Time and Dutch design.
Situated at the entrance of the former VDMA Garage was a timeline of 15 chairs, designed by Maarten Baas, opposite of Maarten Baas’ newest work. The next space was filled with work by different artists like the ‘Minuted‘ installation by Gijs van Bon and Strandbeest, one of the evolutionairy animals by Theo Jansen, surrounded by a grid on the floor made with white sand named ‘Fossil Field’ by Iris van Herpen.
Next we passed musician Joost van Dijk playing the cello together with beats of time. The music was wonderful by itself but also perfect as a restful ‘backdrop’ for the next surprise of the ‘Maarten Baas Makes Time’ exhibition:
‘12 Times‘. Twelve wooden booths, all with a little window and a poem by Ingmar Heytze pinned to the side, placed in a circle. Inside the booths were situations to be seen in a mix of tableaux vivants, performances and/or design objects. For instance: a women was Continue reading

We, at Mimi Berlin thought our picture of the Head Balancer statuette would be a fun match to the “Bunny Suits” poem by Laser 3.14, so did the graffiti artist, he chose our image to be the winning one. The postcards will be distributed throughout The Netherlands and can be found in various bars, clubs, cinema’s and restaurants, for free. We suggest you get our card as soon as possible!
