A Digitalistic view: Cold Method’s Dieter de Cock

Welcome to one of our new features! Fashion- and other creatives give us a look in their homes, offices, inspirational- or workspaces. Read about what inspires them, funny anecdotes on their interior accessories or collected objects, and find out more about the person behind a creative vision.

We start out with Dieter de Cock. The originally Belgian Head Designer of menswear label Cold Method,lives on the ground floor of a cute appartment in the center of Amsterdam. He has an extended view from Central Station to Nemo’s Scientific Museum, thanks to his big windows. Even tourists that walk by take a peek at his minimalistic, yet cosy interior.

Origins Now Available in NL!


Great news from one of our favourite cosmetic and skincare lines, Origins. The brand is now available in Holland at select Douglas stores (Groningen, Maastricht, Den Haag and Rotterdam Lijnbaan). If you’re not in one of these cities, you can also order goodies online!

Not sure where to start? Our favourite products include the Checks and Balances Face Wash, which leaves skin feeling squeaky clean while simultaneously reducing oil and moisturizing dry patches. Alternatively, try anything from the A Perfect World collection. The anti-ageing products are infused with Silver Tip White Tea and promise to reduce lines, wrinkles and dark spots while increasing firmness.

What we love about Origins is the company’s philosophy: it creates products that are powered by natural ingredients that are proven by science to deliver results.
