I’m always fascinated by the origins of truly iconic pieces of design —be it furniture, home accessories, architecture or fashion— and that is why I am very happy to tell you we have a new brand at the store; 🤍 A still family-owned furniture company, that has been fully dedicated to craftsmanship since it origins in 1911, with an incredible design aesthetic and some very famous designs in their portfolio.

This is the Canvas Chair (1), designed in 1970 by Børge Mogensen (1914-1972) who was founding designer at Fredericia from 1952 to 1972 (2). In the forties and early fifties, Mogendsen traveled to Spain and was inspired by ancient Islamic chairs, made of wood and leather, with a rustic look and wide armrests. This led to the birth of the now famous Spanish Chair in 1958 (3).

The Canvas Chair (4), now at the store, was meant as a reaction to the flashy and poppy designs of the sixties. With its modest appearance it is clearly family of the Spanish Chair, just with a slightly lighter attitude. Safari anyone? Its unpretentious look might trick you in thinking it isn’t comfortable. Well, you will be surprised! Stop by to try it out at Langstraat 24-26 in Wassenaar.

Stylish clutter is a trend on TikTok, with the hashtag ‘cluttercore’ since the pandemic. Something like the opposite of what Marie Kondo would advise I guess. I’ve ALWAYS been a stylish clutter person, what would an interior be without those personal trinkets anyway? Just as long as it’s stylish ofcourse😅 Detail of the downstairs bedroom at my house in Provence, Mas Couvaloup with a collection of small wooden boxes. 🤍

Mirror, mirror on the wall. Using mirrors in an interior adds so much to the look and feel of your space. They are elegant and reflect the light. Mirrors also can give depth to a space with a view from one side of a room to another. To increase the amount of natural light cast around a room, place a mirror opposite or beside a window; no matter how gloomy the sky is outside, it will enhance any available daylight. The bigger the mirror, the brighter and larger the space will feel…

At the Couvaloup store we love a palm motif on almost anything. And aren’t the palm candlesticks by Les Ottomans true game changers for your table? But what exactly does the palm symbol stand for?? Nowadays the palm🌴is often associated with the good life, being on holiday. Tropical islands anyone? But in ancient times palm branches were a symbol of victory and conquering heroes returning from the battlefield had palms lain at their feet. In Ancient Greece a palm branch was given to winning athletes… And do you remember the hosanna scène in Jesus Christ Superstar? Palm trees are thought to represent the Garden of Paradise and used to represent wisdom.
In Arabic, the term Fog al-Nakhal, literally meaning ‘above the palm trees’, used to indicate euphoria, satisfaction or strong happiness 🤍🤍🤍🌴

End of season S A L E on showroom models and other items has started … now is the time to go for that sofa you secretly had a crush on 🛋️ 🤍

One of the lovely handmade Kantha quilts by on the bed. Kantha fabrics feature a very simple, straight running stitch. The patterns are often creative, spontaneous, original, and emotional. For centuries, in eastern India, babies have been swaddled in soft kantha quilts made from old clothing such as frayed saris and dhotis, layered and stitched together. And when guests paid a visit, special kantha rugs would be spread on the floor. Kantha is more than one thousand years old, dating back to the pre-Vedic times (prior to 1500 BC) in ancient India, and although it was traditionally a utilitarian, functional style of embroidery, it also had – and continues to have – a unique way of portraying and celebrating life events.

Perhaps it’s time to say ‘hi’ to all new followers this summer….? Welcome..🙏… so very nice of you to follow this very personal account. I’m more of a ‘stay behind the scenes type of person’, but still, it is only civil to put a face to a name at some point, is it not?
My name is Jet, which is a typical Dutch name, but it might be confusing for frequent flyers … (It is short for Henriëtte)
Since I was young I have always been inspired by the casual elegance of the Mediterranean landscape and vernacular architecture. No frills, no flashy colors. Dusty roads through olive groves. Simple stone houses with shutters. Beautiful hillsides that offer the perfect blend of shelter and panorama... The elegance of parasol pine trees, or the graphic form of a group of cypress on top of a hill. I have always felt the need to make my direct surroundings soothing, serene and beautiful, but always in a relaxed way. With the Couvaloup store I try to show that interiors can be a mix up of styles and inspirations, not too sleek and overly designed, just pick beautifully made items with soul, and it will all fall into place. The best kind of rooms are the ones that make you want to come in, sit down and stay for a while. Hope to see you at Langstraat 24-26 in Wassenaar🤍 www.couvaloup.com

My favorite spot to think up new projects is the kitchen table … this one I designed to fit 6 people easily, but it works for only 2 peeps too… With a view on the garden … je suis content 🤍

A very nice article about our sweet little town of Wassenaar, in magazine Hollands Glorie, written by 🤍 Thank you for emphasising Wassenaars exceptional setting: beautiful countryside, unspoiled beaches, a cosy old village, country houses to visit plus a world class museum of modern art . Wassenaar has long been overlooked as a destination for a daytrip or a mini break, but that should change 😊

The importance of a neutral palette - A calm color scheme is best pared with texture, to bring different layers of interest. Natural materials, whether they are stone or wood, linen or reed can help to anchor a neutral color scheme. They bring laid back quality that always works well for me… It means that the overall look doesn’t feel too contrived or uptight or overly designed. Sofas and armchairs that are covered in light tones -or white even- of varying textures, like linen, canvas and a bouclé for example, continue a lightness of touch. Works nicely with the white walls in this part of the store. #layering #texture #lightness
