Happy holiday season


This time I had the pleasure to work with Ulli Rehm in the installation-decoration for the window in Villa ZeezichtCafe(you probably heard about it, as they are known for having the best apple pie in whole Amsterdam. The cafe is on Torensteeg 7; open daily for breakfast, lunch & dinner).
The installation consists in a x-mas tree like structure and it is decorated with several necklaces, go and have a closer look!
There is information available about the works, just ask for it to one of the waitresses.
