So this is us (from left to right in the pictures).

I’m Eline. I’m a teacher and a complete art and design enthusiast. I’m a collector at heart and I love surrounding myself with things that make me happy. I’m all about what I call meaningful maximalism. To me, this means layering objects, colours, artworks and personal touches in a way that feels expressive and authentic, not just for the sake of excess.

Nikki is my wife. She’s a communications manager and freelance graphic designer & illustrator, so visual thinking is very much part of both of our everyday lives. Nikki’s also closely involved in the creative process here and happily steps in front of the camera for photos and videos, so you’ve probably seen quite a bit of her on this account.

And then there’s Abel. He’s six, endlessly curious and wonderfully imaginative, with a particular fascination for sea creatures, numbers and pretty much anything he can learn about. He’s also incredibly funny and witty. Swipe for some of his lovely drawings displayed on his own “gallery wall”.

I took these pictures in our creative space, a place that truly belongs to all three of us. It’s a space for making, experimenting, collecting and simply being together.

Another design appreciation post! I discovered this piece by @pepijndegreef. For the ZETSE stool, he used the shape of an old milk funnel and reworked it in recycled plastic.

There’s some great thinking behind it, transforming something familiar and functional into something completely new, without losing what made the original form work in the first place.

It’s a good example of what draws me to playful design: clever concept aside, it’s just a fun piece to look at.

We krijgen er een kleurtje van! We zijn ‘kleurmeesters’ volgens @linda. Benieuwd hoe we wonen? Vanaf 20 augustus in de winkel. Trots op deze binnenkijker gemaakt met deze leuke mensen, was gezellig.

Some changes in our creative studio!
We wanted the space to function less like a finished interior and more like an active environment: a place where work, collecting, creativity and daily life continuously overlap.
The new table by @theminimonoproject became the centre of the space. I did not only fall for the bold colours, but I also love the idea of circular production as something visible rather than hidden. The tabletop is made from recycled HDPE, which has this soft but also slightly imperfect texture. This matches so well with my preference for interiors that remain slightly unresolved and for objects that carry traces of use, displacement, repetition and time. Very happy with how this turned out! I’m sure this new set-up will keep the creativity flowing. Swipe for the vibe! And as you can see our son is a big fan already ☺️
Ps: Excited that the first pieces of the palm tree project, which was a co-creation of my wife and me, are finally hanging on our wall!

A few weeks ago we started brewing our first homebrew: a dry Irish stout made during a Toronto arctic vortex and left to rest in a closet while snow piled up outside.

Just like the ice mummy, this Ötzi Stout showed resilience and survived the cold. Its soft carbonation, roasted malt character and a crisp, dry finish make this a perfect beer for welcoming spring (and Saint Patrick's Day)!

Brewed by Closet Brews

Wow—what a year.
This year brought me so much. I finally got to invest more in my passion and take the leap into becoming a zythologist / beer connoisseur 🍻

It was a year filled with proud sports achievements, unforgettable tastings (both hosting and attending), and some truly incredible trips.

The biggest achievement of all, though, was planning a wedding on short notice—something we could never have pulled off without the love and support of our amazing families and friends.

Our move to Toronto has been a huge change for all of us (and still is), and we’re incredibly grateful for everyone who helped us along the way—new friends and old, in Belgium and in Toronto.

I’ll keep it short and end with a toast: to good health, great friends, and never running out of beer. I hope to raise a glass with all of you in the year ahead.
Cheers! 🍻

Voor Wintertuig van @tuig.rocks mocht ik een expo cureren en deelnemen: voorndeze expo´s hebben 8 duo´s samen een werk gemaakt in het thema van Wintertuig, "Alles in het roze". Ik ben superblij met de resultaten! Zelf hebben @saraherhya en ik een werk geborduurd want we zijn gemotiveerd en hebben een slecht tijdsbesef.
Illustratoren zijn getagd op de foto´s.

Dit is wat mensen voelen wanneer ze voor mijn lens staan, en dat raakt me. 🧡
Reviews over échte momenten, comfortabel voor de lens staan en authenticiteit herinneren me precies waarom ik Glunder ben gestart.
Mensen zijn verrast dat op de foto gaan zo ontspannen kan voelen. Maar dat is net wat ik het liefste doe: je op je gemak brengen, zodat je gewoon jezelf kan zijn en straalt!

💛 Dankjewel aan iedereen die al heeft geglunderd.
Jullie woorden betekenen zóveel.🙏
