Nestled at the intersection of fashion, art and hospitality, Graanmarkt 13 has been an appealing lifestyle hub for aficionados of the finer things in life since its inception a decade ago. Ilse Cornelissens and Tim Van Geloven, the husband-and-wife team behind the hybrid concept space, are obviously masters of lifestyle—and an eclectic and continuously evolving one at that—and complement their alluring offerings with a rotation of events, collaborations and special product releases. The upcoming Wild Animals event, actually straddles all three categories. Launching in-store on Fri – Jul 24, Amsterdam-based graphic designer Rop van Mierlo will present a collection of various limited-edition goods featuring a tiger print taken from the first painting of his Wild Animals series. The Design Academy Eindhoven graduate will feature a variety of goods, ranging from apparel and duvets, to mugs and prints. Mind you, the luxurious Graanmarkt 13 apartment will even feature a handmade rug, created by the graphic designer in collaboration with the TextielMuseum in Tilburg, the very cradle of the flourishing 19th-century Dutch textile industry.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
