A series of triple compartment slip-in boxes with lids for a new edition of artist books made by @Annesas Appel.

Each is made to hold a collection of three pairs of books. The books protrude at the front, which makes it easy to take them out and slip them back in. The title and the name of the artist are embossed blind on the side of the lid.

The boxes are covered and lined with grey Toile du Marais.

Some overview shots of double and triple slipcases with seperate lids from a couple of recent projects.

To me, boxes have an aesthetics of their own, as objects in their own right, without their intended contents. Something like a beautiful vase without any flowers, or a bracelet that is not being worn.

A set of presentation boxes for Amsterdam-based photographer Rogier Houwen.

They are made to hold a series of prints from his project Cosmos. Rogier has chosen the 'box in a box' type, in keeping with some of his earlier work that was presented in a frame within a frame (📷 8-9).

Both boxes are covered and lined in Grége Toile du Marais from Winter & Co, with the titles hot foil printed in white.

Bart Lunenburg


In the series of wall sculptures Warding Window (2023-24), Bart Lunenburg explores the design and characteristics of window shutters found in the Eastern part of The Netherlands. Their colours and compositions referred to the heraldic weapons of the local landowners and served as a symbol of feudal ownership. In the series, he deconstructs historic shutter designs and rearranges them into new rhythmic compositions, a similar method to making a quilt or a patchwork. Once the farmhouse owner changed — due to marriage, war, or succession — the window shutters were painted over with new colours and designs.

Usually, I am not a very big fan of ribbons, but in this particular case I very much enjoy the combination with the graphic work of the late artist Lon Pennock.

Recently, I made a box for the Association of Dutch Designers @BNO_nl, as a retirement gift for a colleague. She received such an overwhelmingly amount of retirement cards, that we decided to make an additional one. 🎂🍰

The box is covered with cream natural linen from Van Heek textiles and lined with pink Toile du Marais from Winter Company.

Kees Visser, Monochromes ? (2022)

This sumptuously designed book presents the work and method of visual artist Kees Visser, from his early works with letters and texts, his research into form and colour, to his self-designed ‘catalogue raisonnée’ and sketchbooks, which are as much a part of his oeuvre as his completed works.

Kees Visser reinterprets the heritage of modern art, combining the languages of Mondriaan, De Stijl, and Matisse into a personal research into form and colour. For example, by introducing a diagonal edge to his paintings, Visser combines a form dear to Richard Serra with painterly experiments reminiscent of Yves Klein. He often uses the framework of a grid to determine the shape of his paintings, which is never exactly rectangular.

Book design by Irma Boom; published by nai010.
