Dear %%voornaam%% %%achternaam%%,

The last 'Vij5 news' of 2011 in which we proudly look back at a nice year! Including the launch of the first NewspaperWood collection in Milan, other products added to our collection such as Magnetic Wallpaper, Schenk and Le Belge System and of course our 5th birthday!
 
We wish all of you a merry Christmas and a sparkling and extraordinary 2012!

Till next year,
Arjan & Anieke


Schenk | new press images available!

The carafe ‘Schenk’ (Dutch for ‘pour’) creates a totally different ritual to serving and pouring water. Inspired by the way the string is wound back on a kite, the bottle has specially placed handles. They look strange at first but once they are used, the act becomes instinctive: the position of the handles makes it possible to pour water out of the carafe very controlled and dosed by a simple tilt movement.

The carafe is made out of borosilicate glass, has a capacity of 1,8 liters and can be used by left- and right-handed people.

NewspaperWood special |
PaperFrames by Ontwerpduo

This month we pay special attention to the PaperFrames by Ontwerpduo (also the designers of the Lloop lamps in our collection) in part three of the ‘NewspaperWood special’ series, in which we will highlight a specific NewspaperWood product each month.

PaperFrames is a series of small frames, to exhibit your finest, smallest or most exclusive objects.

To symbolize the bark of a tree, Ontwerpduo covered the NewspaperWood with a thin layer of coloured paper. They intended to augment the NewspaperWood rather than to supplement it with an extra material. All employed paper colours are reflected in the growth rings of the NewspaperWood itself.

Prices from € 115,- to € 235,- (depending on sizes)

NewspaperWood is a concept by Mieke Meijer, developed and licensed by Vij5. The product PaperFrames is a design by Ontwerpduo commissioned by Vij5
