STEDELIJK MUSEUM

The only way to beat the cold and snow is to head to a museum for an afternoon of culture.

We’ve checked out quite a few local galleries during our time in amsterdam but this was our first visit to the newly refurbished modern art museum, Stedelijk, or as we like to call it the bath tub! (thanks to it’s cool design). In fact the architecture is really beautifully done combining the modern new extension with the original external walls of the old museum still clearly featured inside.

Modern art can sometimes throw us into unknown territory where it’s kind of hard to really appreciate what the artist’s intentions were but there’s lots of great inspiration to be had here!

Here are a few of our favourites, mainly the contemporary furniture classics and the vintage pre/post war posters, enjoy our sneak preview!

Well worth a trip if your in these parts . . . .

TEN YEARS OF PIRATE

admin — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 22:01:48 +0000

Representing team Denham and Designbridge Amsterdam we celebrated the 10 year anniversary of Pirate Amsterdam a few weeks ago. These celebrations took the form of a Pirate Canal Bike Battle (a peddlow race for short). We joined 25+ other teams from Amsterdam design agencies to fashion companies in an all out race. Team designbridge was not so fortunate coming way down the filed but team Denham did us proud! We have to thank Pirate for putting on a great celebration! The rum was excellent!

All photos and further information can be found on the Pirate website here, but below are a selection from the evening.
