HANDMADE BOWTIES

In 2013 I made my own collection of Bowties. The collection is so far created from vintage clothes, books and trees. They are all hand-made by me and the wooden ones all have a special feature allowing you to swap the middle part of the bowtie to get the combination that fits your mood. Also all the wooden bowties have two different sides, so in total one bowtie gives you 4 fantastic looks. Discover more here…

STEADY FEATHERS – CHICKEN CAM

Have you ever heard of the vestibulo-ocular reflex of a chicken? It is a chicken’s amazing ability to keep its eye focused during movement. When LG asked us to promote its new flagship smartphone the G2 and its campaign theme ‘Learning from you’, we ran out to the chicken farm. And here it is: STEADY FEATHERS! Directed by Willem Gerritsen from Czar.nl and in close collaboration with Korean Krema Worldwide, we are taking our favorite chicken Lizzy to Hollywood fame… See the video below or read more here…

SO REAL IT’S SCARY

LGs latest IPS monitors have colors so lifelike that images look real. There’s only one way to prove it, so we put it to the monitors to the test. We kitted out an elevator floor with a grid of nine IPS monitors to test if office workers would believe the floor was falling out from beneath them. Well they did, proving that the IPS monitors are indeed, ‘So real its scary’. See the video below or read more here…

MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS

Our brief was to push the Christmas gift selection based on Diesel christmas card aesthetics. Around christmas is when all brands are competing with sickly sweet christmas advertising trying to win consumers. We wanted to bring back the true Magic of Christmas, but with an ironic ‘Diesel’ Twist.

So Diesel literally hypnotised the spirit of christmas into the models, with a big wink to festive brand brainwashing. Making consumers for the first time in history redeem the true christmas spirit and reach orgasmic delight over Diesel’s gift selection. More…

CAB TAB

A bad scam is the ultimate insult and taxi scams are well known and a growing problem in Amsterdam. And naive tourists are the easiest target. To prevent this we created CabTab. A collaboration tool between the city of Amsterdam, hotels and taxi companies, where cost of the cab ride is added to the tourists hotel bill so the hotel ensures that the ride was not overpriced. CabTab simply allows tourists to take a cab without worrying about cash or scams.
