otarkino

pairing movies with food, 

otarkino is a collaboration between film curator vincent stroep 

and the food collective otark; based in antwerp.

 i was so happy when i discovered this book, published by roma publications, at the latest offrprint fair.

a souvenir from the "film dinners" they curated at hetbos.

i'm not sure they are still doing this kind of events but you can still get some inspiration in this book

or in browsing otark's blog.

LMK

LMK is a creative studio run by a young woman in le havre

i've discovered the brand during the latest christmas market organized by klin d'oeil

she makes necklaces, bracelets, pins, earrings and so many other things

working with clay, fabric...

every piece is unique.

pins and earrings were my favorites.
