French Fika
Yesterday my Italian friend & I went for "fika" at the Swedish Institute in Paris. Fika means having a coffee break with pastries and as one of my Danish readers pointed out, fika is only used in Sweden ( and not in Denmark ). I was looking forward to a delicious kanelbulle, but no luck: Read article…
Back to… Denmark
This summer has been a busy month with lots of visitors here at Studio Sapique, or should I say Hotel Sapique? Friends & family & new friends, all relaxed and in a perfect holiday-mood.

Weekend tip: Grimp a l’arb

He can't help himself for smiling all the time and says it even works in his professional life. His favorite spot Read article…
Back to… Egypt
Writing about our visits to Egypt is like a trip down memory lane. In 1999 we went to Egypt twice: first on a roundtrip through the country & a second time to attend the Millenium concert by Jean Michel Jarre. We were so young, it was our 1st time together outside Europe and we were Read article…
Vintage Sapique 10
For this 10th edition of Vintage Sapique, let me tell you about one of the masterpieces of Studio Sapique: the suspended staircase. It was created using reinforced concrete poured in shape, finished with polished marble steps, and brass railing. I wasn't very fond of the brass, so I painted it lilac ( so so ) Read article…
Birthday Bash
Last weekend it was my birthday. My family came over from Holland and we spent the entire weekend in our garden, eating, drinking and having a good time. We started with a brunch in the shadow of a few trees in our front yard. Then headed to the back yard for drinks & a tompouce Read article…
