His colourful conceptual work has previously been commissioned by British Airways, Wired UK and the Times Higher Education, among others. His love of bold composition and simple shapes makes him a perfect illustrator for this cover, inspired by our feature about Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter on page 42.

With its plethora of cultural attractions, not to mention a chic boulevard lined with luxurious designer boutiques, Amsterdam’s Museumsquartier is one of the city’s must-visit districts, as Madeleine Murray-Lyons explains

PRIME LOCATION

PHOTO: JOHN LEWIS MARSHALL

Amsterdam Museum Quarter has long been a cultural hotspot, attracting visitors from far-fung destinations for decades. Like a fne wine, the area has only got better with age, and now plays host to the Rijksmuseum, the

Concertgebouw concert hall and the luxurious retail delights of PC Hooftstraat. There has never been a better time to take advantage of the area’s many varied attractions.

This year is a particularly pertinent time to visit, as 2015

44 | F E AT U R E S

marks the 125th anniversary of the death of Vincent van Gogh, one of the country’s most celebrated artists. Amsterdam’s Van Gogh Museum will be holding two highprofle exhibitions in his honour to commemorate the date.

The frst celebrates the artist’s letter-writing – van Gogh was a prolifc correspondent, particularly with his brother Theo.

The When I Give, I Give Myself exhibition invites modern artists to respond to his letters with a letter, poem or artwork. The collection, which includes pieces

by Anish Kapoor, Wouter Venema and Christian Jankowski, is on display until 17 January 2016.

Autumn sees the opening of the Munch: Van Gogh exhibition.

On display from 25 September, the collection explores the similarities between the two contemporaries’ works. In addition, the museum will unveil its new entrance building this September – a suitably impressive new space for these two standout shows.

Amsterdam’s cultural attractions continue at the Rijksmuseum. The museum has undergone extensive restoration work over the past 10 years, preserving PJH Cuypers’ original architecture and launching a new area, the Philips Wing, in 2014.

Collection highlights include Rembrandt’s The Night Watch and works by the Dutch masters of the Golden Age, such as Vermeer and Frans Hals.

This autumn, don’t miss the museum’s Dick Bruna exhibition, which runs until 15 November 2015, which explains how Mify, his internationally renowned cartoon rabbit, came to be. The Asia in Amsterdam show is another fascinating attraction, showcasing 170 objects from India, China and Japan that were shipped to Holland during the Golden Age of the 17th century.

After marvelling at the artistic achievements of the Netherlands’ fnest creative talents, it’s time to

invest in some wearable art at the boutiques lining PC Hooftstraat.

The area underwent a facelift over the summer and is now ready to welcome a host of new visitors.

First, head to Blue Blood boutique to check out the latest developments in designer denim.

Its innovative Dry Goods collection is made without using water, resulting in jeans that age beautifully – no two will look alike as each owner creates their own unique pattern of wear.

Next, stop at Jaeger-LeCoultre, where you will fnd a selection of exceptionally made Swiss timepieces. Two of the most impressive new designs for 2015 are the white gold Master Grande Tourbillon Cylindrique and the Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire.

Jewellery afcionados are sure to appreciate the wide variety of pieces on ofer at Schaap en Citroen. From diamond-studded bracelets by Shamballa Jewels to colour-pop rings from Pomellato and timeless gold heart pendants from Chopard, there is something to suit every age and taste in store.

For the perfect diamond engagement ring, Coster Diamonds is a must-visit.

SIMPLE PLEASURES 98 93 / Lihat halaman 102 untuk terjemahan artikel ini

Above: cherry blossom is one of Rituals Cosmetics’ natural ingredients

S H O P | 49

Taking inspiration from ancient Eastern traditions, Rituals Cosmetics is dedicated to celebrating the little things in life.

Verity Hogan meets the company’s CEO Raymond Cloosterman ‘Rituals was a hobby that got out of control’: Raymond Cloosterman’s rather modest assessment of the luxury lifestyle company he created in 2000 is something of an understatement.

In the 15 years since its inception, Rituals Cosmetics has developed an impressive product range, with everything from body and facial products to scented candles and perfumes, and even a washing-up liquid. The company now has more than 400 standalone stores around the world, is stocked in over 1,200 luxury department stores and perfumeries, and is the toiletry brand of choice for more than 900 hotels and many airlines.

The company’s products take inspiration from Eastern traditions, and are designed to help people rediscover the magic of the everyday. ‘We’re living life on autopilot and we’ve forgotten what it is to enjoy the little things,’ Cloosterman explains. ‘There’s a strong need, on a global basis, for people to bring back these small moments of happiness during the day and to make them take a step back for a minute.’

50 | F E AT U R E S

Before launching Rituals Cosmetics, Cloosterman spent 13 years climbing the corporate ladder at Unilever, where he occupied a series of high-profle positions. It was while he was looking for new business insights that the idea for Rituals Cosmetics struck: ‘As a result of this threemonth journey I came back completely hyper with many new ideas – I was so enthusiastic that I decided to resign and start my own cosmetics brand. Some of the insights from that journey still impact on the brand today.’

Every product in Rituals Cosmetics’ extensive range has a story to tell. Cloosterman and his team travel extensively to discover ancient rituals from Eastern cultures, which then inspire

their perfumers and developers to create product lines that are relevant to modern life. Take the Tao line, for example, which is based on the Chinese idea of yin and yang and is designed to bring tranquillity to hectic modern lives.

‘We’re so connected these days, we’re working 24/7, we’re available 24/7, that people are looking for ways to escape from that,’ says Cloosterman of the collection.

‘Silence is the new luxury.’

At the moment, Cloosterman’s favourite line is the masculine Samurai. It’s inspired by the pre-battle rituals of the Japanese emperors’ elite soldiers, who were expected to look immaculate before any fght. ‘There are a few very innovative products in there that I love,’ Cloosterman

Above (from lef): Rituals Cosmetics Bamboo Treasure washing-up liquid; Raymond Cloosterman, the brand’s founder

enthuses. One such is a threein-one shaving cream that is unusually rich, hydrating and soothing: ‘It’s my shaving secret!’

Rituals Cosmetics has wide appeal, attracting old and young, men and women alike.

‘I wanted to create a brand that had nothing to do with the oldfashioned way of segmentation, of trying to put people in a box,’ Cloosterman explains. ‘It’s more about trying to speak to people with a certain mindset – they’re very critical in terms of quality but they treasure life and like to enjoy the little things.’

It’s a philosophy that fts well with modern lifestyles

and the growing trend towards mindfulness and wellbeing.

‘There’s an increasing need to create a safe place for yourself, to escape from the pressures to perform as a mother, a manager, a friend,’ Cloosterman agrees.

He fnds an escape in travel – ‘I love to travel, I love to explore, I’m curious’ – and recent trips have seen him fnd inspiration in Thailand, get away from it all on a family trip to the Idaho wilderness and speed through the streets of Paris on the back of a motor taxi.

Even so, Cloosterman’s passion for work always brings him back and he fnds the creative side of his role especially thrilling. ‘It’s an amazing process, very rewarding,’ he explains. ‘It starts with a cup of tea at the kitchen table and a year or so later there’s a beautiful range of products.’

Cloosterman admits that the company spent some years nurturing the brand and improving its products and concept before it found its niche, but in the past seven years it has

Rituals’ products, inspired by Eastern traditions, are designed to help people rediscover the magic of the everyday

been gaining international traction and expanding every day; on average the company opens one or two stores a week in locations around the world. ‘We’re growing by word of mouth, friends telling friends – that’s how we became successful across Europe,’ he notes. ‘When people discover us, we try to surprise them in terms of quality of design and fragrance so that they become addicted!’

The company, often described as a young brand with an old soul, looks set to continue to grow and thrive. ‘There are a lot of paradoxes in the concept that makes people fall in love with the brand,’ Cloosterman concedes.

‘The paradox of old stories and new technologies, of East and West, of the very exclusive and yet accessible – all of these things come together.’ rituals.com

TABLE TALK There’s a lot more to Holland’s culinary scene than traditional wafes, as Sally McIlhone fnds out

Traditional Dutch food is often characterised for its simplicity.

The country is known for mild, nutty cheeses such as Gouda and Edam, as well as its pofertjes, a smaller, fufer and arguably more delicious version of a pancake made with buckwheat four. Then there’s the stroopwafel, a typical Dutch snack, a moreish cross between a wafe and a biscuit that’s flled with caramel. Simple globalblue.com

stews or stamppot of potatoes, vegetables and meat, or warming soups including Erwtensoep, a very thick pea soup, are traditional home-cooked staples.

However, the country’s restaurants are also no stranger to international infuences and the best of the bunch deftly incorporate the region’s supply of fantastic natural produce with exotic and exciting global favours.

THE DUCHESS The Duchess, located in the new W Amsterdam hotel in the former KAS Bank building, is inspired by the grandeur and beauty of the belle époque. The spacious entrance hall comes complete with a stained-glass ceiling, black marble details and handmade foor tiles, which sets the scene

for the restaurant’s dramatic and glamorous interior. The menu focuses on southern French and Italian favours: think seabass carpaccio with olive oil and cress; Dover sole meunière; and Sicilian lemon pie with citrus salad.

THE PENTHOUSE The Penthouse, situated on the 42nd foor of the Hague Tower, is Holland’s highest restaurant and bar, with spectacular views from the dining room. Chef Bart Middendorp ensures the food is equally worthy of attention with signature dishes such as seared tuna with sesame, poppy seed,

ginger and soy or lobster broth fragrant with safron and fennel.

Oferings such as dark chocolate mousse with fve spices, mango, passionfruit and coconut ice cream mean that skipping dessert is certainly not an option.

JOHANNES

PHOTO: RENÉE FRINKING FOTOGRAFIE

Run by a young chef whose exceptional dishes belie his years, Johannes ofers a memorable culinary experience. The signature dish of pork belly, king prawn and carrot is the highlight – the combination of favours is a symphony on the palette.

There are other reasons to wax lyrical about Johannes: the

canalside location, the small but perfectly formed dining room, the exceptional service and one gourmet surprise in particular that we wouldn’t want to spoil by revealing. Sufce to say, this is a meal you’ll remember for years to come.

3. Café spotting Amsterdam is not short of wonderfully old-fashioned and atmospheric cafés, which are the perfect place to hide out on a grey winter’s day. Café Americain has been open since 1902 and is worth visiting for its art nouveau interior alone.

Take your pick from the reading table, stacked with magazines and newspapers, and settle in.

THRIFT SHOP Thrift Shop combines a concept store, second-hand store and vintage market in one. The premise is that designers and brands can rent a ‘cabinet’ in the store for a week and Thrift Shop will sell their products on their behalf. As a result, there are always up-and-coming brands to be discovered, making every visit even more interesting for its customers. In addition, designers are encouraged to donate any unsold pieces of clothing to the local food bank, thereby supporting less fortunate members of the community.

Маделейн Мюррей-Лайонс рассказывает о Музейном квартале Амстердама, который славится своими музеями и роскошными дизайнерскими бутиками Музейный квартал Амстердама – признанный культурный центр Нидерландов, который не одно десятилетие привлекает гостей из самых разных стран. Подобно хорошему вину, с годами он становится только лучше. Сейчас для путешественников открыты музей Rijksmuseum, концертный зал globalblue.com

Concertgebouw и роскошные бутики PC Hoofstraat. Пожалуй, это самое подходящее время насладиться многообразными возможностями этого места. Более того, 2015 год ознаменован 125-летней годовщиной со дня смерти Винсента Ван Гога – одного из самых значительных и прославленных художников этой страны. К этой дате приурочено две высококлассные выставки в Музее Ван Гога в Амстердаме. Одна из них посвящена письмам: Ван Гог состоял в активной переписке, особенно со своим братом Тео. В рамках проекта When I Give, I Give Myself современные художники ответили на его письма – эпистолярными текстами, стихотворениями или

92 живописными произведениями. В числе участников – Аниш Капур, Воутер Венема и Кристиан Янковский. Выставка будет работать до 17 января 2016. А 25 сентября откроется экспозиция Munch: Van Gogh. Она исследует творческий диалог двух современников – Мунка и Ван Гога. Кроме того, в сентябре музей презентует обновленную входную группу – весьма впечатляющее пространство, с которого начинается знакомство с этими художественными проектами. Невозможно пройти мимо музея Rijksmuseum – одного из крупнейших в столице. За последние 10 лет он претерпел значительную реконструкцию, сохранив при этом оригинальное архитектурное решение Питера Кейперса. Кроме того, в 2014 году для посетителей открылось совершенно новое пространство Philips Wing. В коллекции музея содержатся знаменитые шедевры: «Ночной дозор» Рембрандта и произведения художников Золотого века Голландии – Вермеера, Франса Халса и других. Особого внимания достойна выставка Дика Бруна, которая продлится до 15 ноября 2015 года: там вы узнаете, откуда и как появился его знаменитый анимационный персонаж – кролик Миффи. Также в залах музея разместился проект «Азия» (Asia): эта экспозиция объединяет 170 предметов из Индии, Китая и Японии – словом, завоевания Золотого века Голландии. Вдохновившись творчеством нидерландских мастеров, стоит познакомиться и с искусством моды. Для этого отправимся в globalblue.com

бутики на бульваре PC Hoofstraat. Минувшим летом на улице провели косметический ремонт, и теперь она готова принимать новых посетителей. Мы рекомендуем уделить время бутику Blue Blood и необычным новинкам денима. Например, для создания инновационной коллекции Dry Goods не используется вода. Это дает интересный эффект: изначально одинаковые джинсы со временем становятся непохожими друг на друга. Дело в том, что каждый владелец носит их по-своему, и это отражается на изменениях в ткани. В бутике Jaeger-LeCoultre представлены швейцарские часы высочайшего качества. В числе самых впечатляющих новинок 2015 года – Master Grande Tourbillon Cylindrique из белого золота и Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire. Поклонникам ювелирных украшений придется по вкусу широкий ассортимент в Schaap en Citroen. Браслеты с бриллиантами Shamballa Jewels, яркие кольца Pomellato и нестареющие подвески Chopard в форме сердца – вне зависимости от возраста и предпочтений, каждый найдет здесь что-нибудь по душе. Превосходные обручальные кольца с бриллиантами предлагает Coster Diamonds. Эта компания владеет одной из старейших операционных алмазных фабрик в Европе, основанной в 1840 году. àам можно побывать в рамках бесплатной экскурсии, чтобы посмотреть, как ювелиры и огранщики придают форму камням, добытым в самых разных точках мира. В итоге, покупатели могут выбирать среди множества видов огранок и оправ. Эти бриллиантовые украшения

93 будут особенно хороши с комплектом из новой коллекции Dior. К сезону осень/зима 2015/16 бренд приготовил восхитительный красный костюм с укороченными брюками, разнообразные миниплатья с узорами, нетривиальные комбинезоны и яркие шерстяные пальто. Креативный директор марки Раф Симонс сумел привнести современную интонацию в проверенный временем французский модный дом, и новая коллекция полностью отражает эту эстетику. Завершить день знакомства с Музейным кварталом можно ужином в ресторане Taiko. Шеф-повар Шило Ван Куворден создал необычное меню в азиатском стиле, включив в него суши, димсамы и сашими, а также восхитительную вагю-говядину на гриле. После трапезы загляните на концерт в Concertgebouw. Здесь на сцену поднимаются профессиональные исполнители из разных стран, исполняющие классическую музыку величайших композиторов. Произведения Моцарта, Баха и Брамса – это только часть репертуара этой осени и зимы. Музейный квартал Амстердама совмещает в себе возможности культурного досуга, роскошного шоппинга и изысканной трапезы. И столь сбалансирование сочетание делает это место обязательaным для посещения. vangoghmuseum.nl, rijksmuseum.nl, bluebloodbrand.com, jaeger-lecoultre.com, schaapcitroen.nl, costerdiamonds.com, dior.com, conservatoriumhotel.com, concertgebouw.nl, gassan.com

48: Simple Pleasures Простые Удовольствия Вдохновленная старинными восточными традициями марка Rituals Cosmetics призывает радоваться жизненным мелочам. Верити Хоган берет интервью у главы компании – Раймонда Клостермана Rituals было моим хобби, которое со временем переросло в нечто большее», – рассказывает Раймонд Клостерман о своей компании роскошной продукции, которую он открыл в 2000 году. За 15 лет своего существования марке Rituals Cosmetics удалось разработать широкий продуктовый ряд, где можно найти все, от косметики по уходу за телом и лицом до ароматизированных свечей, парфюмерии и даже средства для мытья посуды. Сегодня компания имеет розничную сеть из 400 магазинов по всему миру, кроме того ее продукция представлена в 1200 роскошных универмагах и парфюмерных магазинах, а также используется в более чем 900 отелях и многих авиакомпаниях. Источником вдохновения для бренда служат старинные восточные традиции, а продукция призвана помочь людям заново открыть для себя чудеса повседневности. «Мы живем как будто на автопилоте и совершенно забыли, что значит радоваться самому малому, – поясняет Клостерман. – Многим людям в нашем мире недостает таких моментов радости, когда они могут просто оставить все свои дела и оглянуться вокруг себя». Перед тем как открыть Rituals

94 Cosmetics, Клостерман провел 13 лет, поднимаясь по карьерной лестнице в Unilever, где ему приходилось занимать ряд крупных должностей. Идея создания Rituals Cosmetics пришла внезапно, во время поиска нового бизнес-направления: «После одной из продолжительных командировок я вернулся полный идей и энтузиазма, и решил уволиться со своей должности и основать свой косметический бренд. Некоторые идеи, которые я почерпнул в том путешествии, до сих пор оказывают влияние на мой бизнес». Каждый из продуктов Rituals Cosmetics имеет свою историю. Клостерман и его сотрудники часто путешествуют, изучая старинные ритуалы восточных культур, а затем применяют полученные знания для разработки современных линий парфюмерии и косметики. Например, коллекция Tao, основанная на принципе Инь и Ян, призвана внести спокойствие в бурную повседневную жизнь. «Сегодня мы постоянно на связи, мы работаем 24 часа семь дней в неделю, в любой момент нам могут позвонить и мы обязаны ответить, поэтому люди постепенно пытаются найти пути выхода из сложившейся ситуации, – говорит Клостерман. – Тишина – это новая роскошь». В настоящий момент своим фаворитом Клостерман считает мужскую линию Samurai. Ее создание вдохновили ритуалы, проводившиеся перед поединками японских самураев, которые должны были выглядеть безукоризненно перед сражением. «В этой серии представлено несколько инновационных продуктов, которые globalblue.com

мне очень нравятся», – делится Клостерман. Речь идет о креме для бритья три в одном, отличающимся насыщенностью, способностью увлажнять и успокаивать кожу: «Это мой секрет для бритья!». Продукция Rituals Cosmetics популярна среди молодых и взрослых, среди мужчин и женщин. «Мне хотелось создать бренд, который не будет иметь ничего общего с устаревшим методом сегментации рынка, накладывающей на людей определенные рамки, – поясняет Клостерман. – Это скорее попытка завоевать доверие людей с современным мышлением, которые довольно критичны в отношении качества товара, но в то же время ценят жизнь и любят радоваться простым вещам». Это своего рода философия, которая отлично укладывается в представления о современном укладе жизни, а также набирающая популярность тенденция к самоосознанности и благополучию. «В мире существует растущая потребность к поиску безопасного места, где можно будет укрыться от того давления, которое оказывает на нас наша социальная роль – будьто роль матери, начальника или друга», – считает Клостерман. Свое убежище он находит в путешествиях: «Мне нравится путешествовать, исследовать, познавать». Последние поиски вдохновения помогли ему побывать в Таиланде, съездить с семьей в отпуск по диким просторам Айдахо и проехаться на такси по парижским улицам. Увлеченность работой всегда приносит Клостерману свои плоды,

95 но особое удовольствие дарит творческая сторона профессии. «Это удивительный процесс, приносящий внутреннее удовлетворение, – поясняет он. – Все начинается с чашки чая на кухне, а год спустя перед нами лежит удивительная серия продукции». Клостерман признает, что у компании ушло несколько лет на совершенствование бренда, концепции и ассортимента продукции, прежде чем она нашла свою нишу, а за последние семь лет компания сумела завоевать немало поклонников по всему миру, ежедневно расширяя свой бизнес; в среднем компания открывает один или два магазина в разных странах мира. «Про нас узнают благодаря “сарафанному радио” – друзья рассказывают друзьям, именно так мы стали успешными в Европе, – замечает он. – Когда люди узнают про нас, мы стараемся удивить их качеством дизайна и аромата, так чтобы они навсегда стали нашими поклонниками!». Компанию часто называют молодым брендом со старой душой, и, похоже, она не перестает расти и совершенствоваться. «Существует много парадоксального в том, что заставляет людей полюбить наш бренд, – считает Клостерман. – Это парадокс древних историй и новейших технологий, Востока и Запада, эксклюзивности и в то же время доступности – все здесь имеет значение». rituals.com

98 48: Simple Pleasures 简单小幸福

从古老东方传统中汲取灵感的Rituals Cosmetics，热衷于颂扬生活中的微 小事物。Verity Hogan采访了公司首 席执行官Raymond Cloosterman “Rituals始于个人爱好，结果一发不 可收拾”：Raymond Cloosterman谦 逊地描述这个由自己创立于2000年的 奢华生活方式品牌，显得格外轻描淡 写。然而在成立后的15年间，Rituals Cosmetics已经发展出令人叫绝的 产品系列，从身体与面部护理产品到 芳香蜡烛与香氛等包罗万象，甚至包 括洗碗液。公司如今在全球设有超过 400家独立门店，并在1200多间奢 侈百货公司与香氛店有售，也是超过 900家酒店与许多航空公司钦点的个 人护理品牌。 公司产品从古代东方传统中获取灵 感，旨在帮助人们重新发现日常生活中 的小幸福。 “我们生活在高速运转的 社会中，已经忘记了去享受生活中的 细微点滴， ”Cloosterman解释道。 “全 世界的人们都拥有这种强烈的渴望， 就是找回这些微小的幸福时刻，从生 活中后退一步松弛一会儿。” 在推出Rituals Cosmetics品牌 之前，Cloosterman花了13年时间 globalblue.com

在联合利华攀登事业阶梯，在那里他 曾担任过诸多要职。某日当他正思索 新的商业卖点时突然想到了Rituals Cosmetics的理念： “作为那三个月旅 行的成果，我带回了许多振奋人心的 想法——这让我如此激动，以至于决 定辞职并开创自己的美容品牌。那次 旅途中获得的灵感时至今日依然对这 个品牌产生影响。” Rituals Cosmetics庞大系列 中的每款单品都有其背后的故 事。Cloosterman和他的团队走南闯 北，寻找东方文化中的古老仪式，品 牌调香师与开发人员受之启发，创造 出适用于当代生活的产品线。以Tao 系列为例，这个以中国的阴阳为灵感 的系列，诞生于为忙碌现代生活带来 几分宁静的愿景。 “现代生活如此熙 熙攘攘，人们一周工作七天，一周七 天都在线，所以开始寻找逃避的方 式， ”Cloosterman如此介绍这个系 列。 “沉静成为新的奢侈。” 当下，Cloosterman最喜爱的产 品线是充满阳刚气息的Samurai（武 士）系列。其灵感来自于日本天皇精 锐部队的战前仪式，他们在每场战斗 前都要求自己看起来完美无暇。 “这 个系列中有几款我非常钟爱的创意单 品， ”Cloosterman兴奋地补充。其中 一款是集滋润、补水与舒缓为一体的 超级三合一剃须膏： “这是我的剃须 秘诀！” Rituals Cosmetics受众面广 泛，吸引着男女老少所有人。 “我想 创造出与过去那种试图将人们装 进盒子的市场细分截然无关的品 牌， ”Cloosterman解释道。 “我更倾 向于吸引具有某种心境的人群——他 们对品质非常挑剔，但他们热爱生命， 享受生活中的细微点滴。” 这个理念与现代生活方式，以 及人们对正念与福祉的日益关注不 谋而合。 “人们越来越渴求为自己 寻找一处安全的庇护所，从履行母

亲、经理、朋友等角色的压力中逃 脱， ”Cloosterrman深表赞同。他自 己在旅行中寻找出口——“我热爱旅 行，热爱探索，我充满好奇， ”——他 最近的旅程包括去泰国寻找灵感，去 爱达荷州荒野进行抛开一切的家庭之 旅，以及坐在出租摩托车上飞驰于巴 黎的街道之间。 即便如此， Cloosterman对工作 的热情总会让他如期归来，他工作中 的创意部分令他最为振奋。 “这是一个 了不起的过程，让我非常有收获， ”他 解释。 “这个过程从厨房桌上的一杯 茶开始，一年后便诞生了一系列美妙非 凡的产品。” Cloosterman承认，在找到自己的 独特定位之前，公司在培育品牌、改良 产品与理念上花费数年，然而在过去 七年中品牌的国际影响力与日俱增； 公司平均每周在全球开设一或两家门 店。 “我们完全靠口碑增长，朋友间的 推荐—— 这就是我们在全欧洲获得 成功的秘诀， ”他指出。 “当人们尝试我 们的产品时，他们会从品质、设计与香 味上都获得惊喜，从而变得深陷其中 难以自拔！” 这个常被描述为拥有老迈灵魂的 年轻品牌，看似将继续茁壮成长。 “我 们的理念中有许多悖论，人们正是因 此爱上了这个品牌。”Cloosterman 承认。 “老的故事与新的科技，东方 的与西方的，独一无二又触手可及 的——所有这些都被融汇到一起。” rituals.com

100 Dengan beraneka ragam atraksi budaya, ditambah dengan bulevar keren yang dijejeri oleh para perancang mewah, Museumsquartier di Amsterdam merupakan salah satu distrik yang wajib dikunjungi, seperti yang dijelaskan Madeleine Murray-Lyons Museumsquartier di Amsterdam sejak lama sudah menjadi daerah penting budaya, yang menarik perhatian para pengunjung dari berbagai penjuru selama beberapa dasawarsa. Seperti halnya minuman anggur yang semakin tua akan semakin mantap rasanya, daerah ini pun makin lama makin bagus. Rijksmuseum, aula konser Concertgebouw keseruan ritel mewah di PC Hooftstraat semuanya ada di sana. Mungkin belum pernah ada waktu yang sebaik saat ini untuk menikmati bermacam-macam atraksi yang ditawarkan area itu.

Tahun ini khususnya adalah saat yang tepat untuk berkunjung, karena 2015 merupakan tahun peringatan 125 tahun meninggalnya Vincent van Gogh, salah satu seniman paling dipuji negara itu. Museum Van Gogh di Amsterdam akan mengadakan dua pameran besar sebagai penghormatan terhadap van Gogh untuk mengenang kematian itu.

Pameran pertama merayakan surat-surat yang ditulis seniman ini – van Gogh merupakan penulis surat yang produktif, terutama dengan adiknya Theo. Pameran yang bertajuk When I Give, I Give Myself ini mengundang para artis modern untuk membalas surat-suratnya dengan surat, puisi atau karya seni. globalblue.com

Koleksi yang ditampilkan meliputi karya Anish Kapoor, Wouter Venema dan Christian Jankowski, dan dipamerkan sampai tanggal 17 Januari 2016.

Pada musim gugur, pameran Munch: Van Gogh akan dibuka.

Pameran yang akan dimulai pada 25 September ini akan menyajikan koleksi yang menjelajahi kemiripan di antara karya kedua seniman sejawat ini. Selain itu, museum ini juga akan membuka ruang pintu masuk baru ke gedung tersebut pada bulan September – ruang baru yang sama mengagumkannya untuk dua pameran istimewa ini.

Atraksi budaya Amsterdam juga berlanjut ke Rijksmuseum. Dalam 10 tahun terakhir, museum ini sudah melewati kerja pemugaran besar, dengan tetap menjaga arsitektur asli karya PJH Cuypers dan membuka area baru bernama Philips Wing, di tahun 2014. Koleksi yang ditampilkan di sana antara lain The Night Watch karya Rembrandt dan karya-karya seniman besar Belanda dari Zaman Keemasan, seperti Vermeer dan Frans Hals.

Musim gugur ini, jangan sampai ketinggalan pameran Dick Bruna di museum ini, yang akan berlangsung sampai 15 November 2015, serta menjelaskan cara Mify, kartun kelincinya yang terkenal secara international, muncul. Pameran Asia di Amsterdam merupakan atraksi lain yang memesona, dengan menampilkan 170 benda dari India, Tiongkok dan Jepang yang dikirimkan ke Belanda pada Zaman Keemasan di abad ke-17.

Setelah mengagumi prestasi

101 artistik bakat-bakat kreatif terbaik Belanda, tiba saatnya untuk berinvestasi dalam seni barang sandang di butik-butik yang berjajar di PC Hooftstraat. Area ini sudah dirombak perwajahannya selama musim panas dan kini siap menyambut para tamu baru.

Pertama-tama, kunjungilah butik Blue Blood untuk memeriksa perkembangan terbaru di dunia denim perancang. Koleksi Dry Goods yang inovatif dibuat tanpa menggunakan air, yang menghasilkan jins yang menua dengan indah – dan tidak ada dua yang sama karena masing-masing pemilik denim menciptakan sendiri pola pemakaian sendiri yang unik.

Kunjungan berikutnya ke JaegerLeCoultre, tempat Anda dapat menemukan pilihan penunjuk waktu buatan Swiss yang luar biasa. Dua dari desain baru paling menakjubkan untuk tahun 2015 adalah Master Grande Tourbillon Cylindrique dengan emas putih dan Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire.

Pecinta perhiasan pasti akan menyukai berbagai macam perhiasan yang ditawarkan di Schaap en Citroen. Dari gelang bertatahkan berlian karya Shamballa Jewels sampai cincin pop warna-warni dari Pomellato dan liontin emas berbentuk hati dari Chopard, selalu ada sesuatu yang cocok untuk semua usia dan selera di toko ini.

Untuk cincin pertunangan yang sempurna, Coster Diamonds wajib dikunjungi. Perusahaan ini memiliki salah satu pabrik berlian tertua yang masih beroperasi di Eropa, yang memulai bisnisnya sejak tahun 1840.

Kunjungan wisata berpemandu disediakan dengan gratis. Anda bisa melihat di sana para ahli emas dan berlian beraksi saat mengasah dengan tekun bebatuan yang berasal dari seluruh dunia; berbagai cara pemotongan dan pengaturan tersedia.

Pakaian dari butik mewah Dior akan menjadi pelengkap sempurna bagi berlian yang baru Anda beli.

Koleksi musim gugur/dingin 2015/16 mereka menyertakan setelan merah mengagumkan dengan celana tiga perempat, serta berbagai macam rok mini dengan pola ceria, setelan terusan psikedelik dan mantel wol berwarna-warni. Direktur kreatif label ini, Raf Simons, dipuji banyak orang karena membawa sentuhan modern ke rumah mode Prancis yang disegani itu dan koleksi terakhir ini dengan sempurna mencerminkan estetika barunya.

Kemudian, akhirilah hari penjelajahan Anda di Museumsquartier dengan makan malam di restoran Taiko. Menu luar biasa berinspirasi Asia ini diciptakan oleh chef eksekutif Schilo Van Coevorden yang menyertakan berbagai macam sushi, dim sum dan sashimi, di samping sapi wagyu panggang yang lezat. Setelah makan malam, waktunya menonton konser di Concertgebouw. Para pemusik paling berbakat tampil di sana untuk memainkan musik-musik klasik gubahan komponis-komponis terbesar dunia. Karya-karya Mozart, Bach dan Brahms merupakan segelintir gubahan dari gubahan yang dipertunjukkan di musim gugur dan dingin ini.

102 Dengan keseimbangan yang sempurna antara budaya, belanja mewah dan makanan adiboga, Museumsquartier di Amsterdam memang harus dikunjungi. vangoghmuseum.nl, rijksmuseum.nl, bluebloodbrand.com, jaeger-lecoultre.com, schaapcitroen.nl, costerdiamonds.com, dior.com, conservatoriumhotel.com, concertgebouw.nl, gassan.com 48: Simple Pleasures Kebahagiaan Kecil

Memetik inspirasi dari tradisi Timur kuno, Rituals Cosmetics didedikasikan untuk merayakan halhal kecil dalam kehidupan ini. Verity Hogan menemui CEO perusahaan itu, Raymond Cloosterman globalblue.com

‘Rituals tadinya merupakan hobi yang kemudian lepas kendali’: kata Raymond Cloosterman dengan rendah hati mengenai perusahaan gaya hidup mewahnya yang didirikannya di tahun 2000. Dalam 15 tahun sejak didirikan, Rituals Cosmetics telah mengembangkan rentang produk yang mengagumkan, mulai dari produk untuk tubuh dan wajah sampai lilin wangi dan parfum, dan bahkan sabun cair untuk cuci piring. Perusahaan yang kini memiliki lebih dari 400 toko mandiri di seluruh dunia ini juga memasok lebih dari 1.200 toko serba ada dan toko parfum mewah, dan menjadi merek perlengkapan mandi yang dipilih oleh lebih dari 900 hotel dan banyak maskapai penerbangan.

Produk-produk perusahaan ini diilhami oleh tradisi Timur, serta dirancang untuk membantu orang menemukan kembali keajaiban sehari-hari. ‘Kita menjalani kehidupan yang berjalan otomatis dan kita lupa seperti apa rasanya menikmati hal-hal kecil dalam kehidupan,’ kata Cloosterman menjelaskan. ‘Secara global ada kebutuhan kuat bagi orang-orang untuk menghadirkan kembali momen-momen kebahagiaan kecil dalam hari mereka dan membuat mereka sejenak menenangkan diri.’

Sebelum meluncurkan Rituals Cosmetics, Cloosterman meniti karir selama 13 tahun di Unilever.

Di sana ia menempati serangkaian posisi tinggi. Ketika ia berusaha mendapatkan wawasan bisnis baru, muncullah gagasan tentang Rituals Cosmetics: ‘Sebagai hasil dari perjalanan tiga bulan ini, saya

103 kembali dengan semangat luar biasa dan begitu banyak ide baru – saya begitu antusias sehingga memutuskan untuk mengundurkan diri dari pekerjaan dan memulai merek kosmetik sendiri. Sejumlah wawasan dari perjalanan itu masih berdampak pada merek ini dewasa ini.’

Semua produk di rentang luas Rituals Cosmetics memiliki kisahnya sendiri. Cloosterman dan timnya melakukan perjalanan secara ekstensif untuk menemukan ritual kuno dari budaya Timur, yang kemudian mengilhami pembuat parfum dan pengembang produk mereka untuk menciptakan lini produk yang relevan dengan kehidupan modern. Produk dari lini Tao misalnya, yang berdasarkan ide yin dan yang Tiongkok dan dirancang untuk menghadirkan ketenangan dalam kehidupan modern yang sibuk. ‘Kita begitu terkoneksi sekarang ini, kita bekerja 24 jam/7 hari, kita tersedia 24/7, dan orang-orang mencari jalan untuk melarikan diri dari hal itu,’ kata Cloosterman mengenai koleksi ini. ‘Kesenyapan merupakan kemewahan baru.’

Saat ini, lini favorit Cloosterman adalah Samurai yang maskulin.

Lini produk ini diilhami oleh ritual sebelum pertempuran yang dilakukan para serdadu elite kaisar Jepang, yang diharapkan untuk tampil sempurna sebelum pertempuran. ‘Ada beberapa produk inovatif di lini ini yang saya sukai,’ kata Cloosterman dengan bersemangat. Salah satunya adalah krim pencukur tiga sewadah (3-in-1)

yang begitu kaya, melembapkan kulit dan menyejukkan: ‘Itulah rahasia bercukur saya!’

Rituals Cosmetics memiliki daya tarik yang luas, dengan menarik perhatian mereka yang tua, muda, lelaki dan perempuan.

‘Saya ingin menciptakan merek yang tidak melakukan segmentasi kuno, yang memasukkan orang dalam kotak-kotak tertentu,’ kata Cloosterman menjelaskan. ‘Kami lebih berusaha berbicara kepada orang-orang dengan cara berpikir tertentu – orang-orang yang sangat kritis mengenai kualitas, tetapi menghargai kehidupan dan ingin menikmati hal-hal kecil dalam kehidupan.’

Ini merupakan flsafat yang cocok dengan gaya hidup modern dan makin besarnya kecenderungan terhadap kepedulian dan kesejahteraan diri. ‘Kebutuhan untuk menciptakan tempat aman bagi diri sendiri makin meningkat, guna melarikan diri dari tekanan untuk berperan sebagai ibu, manajer, teman,’ kata Cloosterman.

Ia sendiri menemukan pelarian seperti itu dalam bepergian – ‘Saya senang melakukan perjalanan, saya senang menjelajahi, saya selalu ingin tahu’ – dan perjalanannya barubaru ini membuatnya menemukan inspirasi di Thailand, melepaskan diri dari semua itu dalam perjalanan bersama keluarga ke alam liar Idaho dan menelusuri jalan-jalan di Paris dengan naik ojek.

Walaupun demikian, semangat Cloosterman untuk bekerja selalu membawanya pulang dan merasakan bahwa sisi kreatif dari perannya

104 secara khusus membuatnya senang. ‘Ini merupakan proses yang menakjubkan, benar-benar memberikan kepuasan,’ katanya menerangkan. ‘Dimulai dari secangkir teh di meja di dapur dan setahun atau beberapa waktu kemudian ada rentang produk yang indah.’

Cloosterman mengakui bahwa perusahaannya memerlukan beberapa tahun untuk menumbuhkan mereknya dan memperbaiki produk serta konsep sebelum menemukan ceruk bisnisnya, tetapi di tujuh tahun terakhir ini mereknya mulai memiliki daya tarik internasional dan berkembang setiap hari; secara rata-rata perusahaan ini membuka satu atau dua toko dalam seminggu di lokasi-lokasi di seluruh dunia. ‘Kami tumbuh dari mulut ke mulut, teman yang bercerita kepada temannya – itulah caranya kami sukses di seluruh Eropa,’ katanya. ‘Ketika orang menemukan kami, kami mencoba mengejutkan mereka dari segi kualitas desain dan wewangian, sehingga mereka menjadi ketagihan!’

Perusahaan yang sering digambarkan sebagai merek muda dengan jiwa tua ini, kelihatannya akan terus berkembang dan tumbuh.

‘Ada banyak paradoks dalam konsep kami yang membuat orang-orang jatuh cinta pada merek ini,’ kata Cloosterman menyimpulkan.

‘Paradoks cerita lama dan teknologi baru, Timur dan Barat, sangat eksklusif tetapi juga mudah diakses – semua hal ini menjadi satu.’ rituals.com globalblue.com
