Kristina Dam Studio weaves its signature 'sculptural minimalism' into the home of Dutch photographer and visual storyteller Michiel Johannes Bosman, whose 1914 apartment in the Netherlands exemplifies a balance of heritage architecture and contemporary design. Recently renovated to preserve its original stained-glass windows and high ceilings, the residence reflects Bosman's sensitivity to light, texture and composition—qualities echoed in the selection of product designs from Kristina Dam Studio that now fill his home.
"For Michiel, home is a sanctuary—a place to reset, reflect and create. It supports daily life while offering visual clarity and calm. Many of the items carry personal stories, connecting him to people and memories even from afar," the studio notes in an official release.
At the heart of the home stands the Japanese Cabinet L, a defining piece from the Copenhagen-based studio. Inspired by Japanese craftsmanship and interpreted through a Scandinavian design lens, the cabinet is crafted from warm, oiled oak and tempered glass. Its sleek, straight lines and open sides allow for the display of cherished personal objects. Complementing the cabinet's natural materials, the Foldable Console introduces a more industrial aesthetic. Part of the Foldable Series, the console is constructed from brushed stainless steel.
Elsewhere in the house, the design studio's Opal Bowl S adds a softer, more tactile contrast. Mouth-blown and double-layered in glass, the bowl's curved silhouette lends a retro charm. Used as both a functional serving item and a decorative centrepiece, it captures light in a way that complements the tranquil atmosphere of the interior design.
The Sphere Box XL and Japanese Pedestal extend the studio's sculptural design narrative within the abode. The Sphere Box—two turned wooden bowls that form a perfect sphere—serves as a vessel for keepsakes or as a standalone decorative form. The Japanese Pedestal, crafted in oiled oak veneer and solid oak, provides a minimalist stage for displaying artworks and objects.
Bosman's newly renovated home operates as a living composition—an evolving dialogue between architecture, memory and design. Each object is carefully selected, striking a balance between emotional resonance and visual clarity. Through the pieces, Kristina Dam Studio's timeless aesthetic finds a natural place in Bosman's refined environment—a testament to the enduring power of design that is both functional and poetic.
"Every object in Michiel's home is thoughtfully chosen, balancing vintage charm with contemporary simplicity… Michiel's home is a living canvas, evolving over time and telling a story through layers of light, history and carefully curated design. Every corner reflects his thoughtful eye, merging artistry with everyday living," concludes the studio led by Kristina Dam, founder, brand & design director.
