About us

My believe is that  ‘the interior is the mirror of the soul‘. Making  beautiful combinations of  art, design and special objects has a major influence on how we feel, how we show ourselves to the world and how others look at us. For as long as I can remember, I have been living and working with art and beautiful objects. With Holder I try to give all objects a new life in a new context. I think the greatest challenge is to make each object tell a story that enriches, excites and inspires us. That is why research is essential in my practice and my partner Bert Looper is keen to do this research and give each object its own story.

I have learned that you should never take the safe route in your interior, but always combine objects with some daring. It is amazing  how all things start talking and communicating with each other. And. .. not unimportant: we are sustainable by giving all this beautiful objects a new life in our homes.  In my shop, on Instagram and on the website you will find a rich collection of art, vintage design, ceramics, textiles and ethnographic items from all times and all regions of the world. Eclectic, sophisticated and  timeless , are my keywords.
