True Brilliance The Dutch Golden Age of the 17th century saw Amsterdam established as a great international power, its trade, science, art and culture respected across the world. One industry in particular came to the fore during this time, and is still going strong in Amsterdam today: diamonds. Gemstones had been worked by skilled craftsmen in the 81

city since the 16th century, and as the wealth of Amsterdam grew and grew, so did the international demand for these most precious of stones. Today, the Dutch capital remains one of the best places in the world to buy diamonds, its leading purveyors offering exemplary stones and jewellery in every style from classic to contemporary. Above: a striking bracelet from Coster Diamonds

Amsterdam has long been one of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important destinations for diamonds. Hannah Lewis gets the lowdown on how to find the perfect stone

‘A diamond is the most precious and finest stone in the world. It keeps its value because it is very rare,’ explains Denis Wortelboer, director of travel-retail at Schaap en Citroen. His advice when it comes to buying is to ‘focus not only on the lovely diamond jewellery, but also on the quality of the diamond and the certificate. Pay attention to the

four Cs and find out the one C that suits you most.’ The four Cs – carat, colour, clarity and cut – are the cornerstones of the diamond industry. It is through these that every diamond is graded. As Wortelboer says, every individual will feel differently about which element is most important, and at an established diamond

expert such as Schaap en Citroen, there will be highly trained (and multilingual) staff on hand to guide clients to the stone that’s exactly right for them. Schaap en Citroen was created by the coming together of two established brands – Schaap, founded in 1888, and Citroen, which began life in 1827. Today the name is recognised across the world as a leading purveyor of fine watches and jewellery. As well as offering diamond jewellery from leading international names –

Pomellato, Chopard and Marco Bicego are just a few – the team also creates its own stunning range of handcrafted platinum diamond jewellery: SC 1888. ‘Besides being the trendsetter for the European market, we also follow trends globally,’ says Wortelboer of Schaap en Citroen’s expansive range of diamond jewellery. ‘Therefore we can provide the highest quality jewellery for all of our international clientele.’ Another leading expert is Zazare Diamonds, which offers a wide

range of beautiful jewellery featuring these precious stones. Rings, earrings and pendants come in an array of both classic and more modern designs, with exquisite diamonds set in 18-carat white, rose or yellow gold. Guided tours – available in various languages – allow visitors to look behind the scenes and receive personalised jewellery advice. These can be booked individually or for couples or larger groups. The Gassan Diamonds headquarters is housed in an historic

building which was formerly a steam-powered diamond factory. Now far more modern, the space is still a centre of excellence, and home to Gassan’s expert team of craftsmen. Guided tours, which are available in 26 languages, allow visitors to discover everything they need to know before buying a diamond, from the significance of the four Cs to the secrets of transforming the rough diamonds into dazzling gems. Gassan has a number of boutiques across the city, where visitors can explore its range of elegant and feminine jewellery, designed to be fashion forward and luxurious yet perfect for every day. Coster Diamonds is known for its connection to some famous gems. The Koh-i-Noor, a blue-white diamond that is part of the famous crown jewels of Great Britain, was polished by Coster’s experts, as was the Dresden diamond, part of the crown jewels of Saxony. The company has longstanding links with royalty; today Coster continues to cut diamonds for the Dutch royal house. In 2007, Coster opened its

diamond museum, where visitors will find exhibitions about the history of diamonds and of Royal Coster Diamonds, as well as a collection of outstanding and famous stones. The tour also offers a unique opportunity to see talented craftsmen at work, cutting and polishing to perfection, and there are even workshops where participants can be involved in making their own perfect piece of diamond jewellery. ‘We can show you all the secrets of diamonds and their history,’ says marketing and communications director Ronald Koster. This knowledge, he believes, is crucial to ensuring what he describes as the ‘fifth C’: confidence. ‘When you buy a diamond, have confidence in the place you buy it.’ At Coster, the timeless appeal of

the diamond means the design team can present a wide array of both classic and fashion-forward jewellery, all featuring these glittering stones. So why does Koster think diamonds have proved so eternally covetable? ‘They’re a symbol of eternity,’ he says. ‘We believe in the beauty of the stone. It’s a rare stone that you will have for ever.’

There’s much more to Dutch design than the sum of its parts. Emma Holmqvist Deacon takes a look at one of the most compelling creative scenes in the world If Scandinavian design is the definition of clean functionality, the Dutch counterpart could be described as its rebellious and free-spirited cousin. While 19th-century modernism and De Stijl pioneers such as HP Berlage, JJP Oud and Gerrit Rietveld continue to inspire, what many associate with Dutch design today actually emerged in the 1990s. ‘The movement developed as a reaction to the somewhat stagnant design scene of the time,’ says Cok de Rooy, owner of renowned Amsterdam store The Frozen 82

Eek brought something new by using alternative materials – making furniture out of scrap wood – and in doing so created a recognisable and much sought-after signature. Jongerius, meanwhile, fused industrial and craft elements in a way that hadn’t been seen before. Richard Hutten was another highly influential name. He made his mark with a series called No Sign of Design. Hutten’s Table Chair of Left: Droog’s must-visit Amsterdam store

irreverent twist typical of the era. How would Droogs’s director Renny Ramakers and The Frozen Fountain’s de Rooy define the new generation of native designers? Both experts agree that it’s a different beast altogether. ‘In the past, a product was a product – this is no longer the case,’ notes Ramakers, and de Rooy points out that students and young designers use their work as a vehicle to solve problems that will affect their future. ‘Social design, involving solutions that will assist the environment, health or communication, is what concerns our young creatives,’ he says. This new breed of designer was out in force at the 2016 graduation show of Design Academy Eindhoven, one of the most influential schools in the world. Tamara Orjola’s Forest Wool furniture and carpets, made from processed pine needles harvested from timber-industry leftovers, are a good example of this zeitgeist.

1992 invited people to question what they were actually looking at – a chair or a table. ‘The nonconformist approach could almost be compared to the Memphis group,’ observes de Rooy, referring to the Italian pop art-inspired design movement established by Ettore Sottsass in the early 1980s. Conceptual design company Droog is another cornerstone of Holland’s design heritage, as is its must-visit Amsterdam store. It stocks iconic products, such as the Milkbottle Lamp of 1991, which have an

Established players such as Droog are changing their ways, too. ‘Over the past two years, we’ve focused on work that makes positive changes in the city,’ explains Ramakers. ‘Our approach is anti-disciplinary and our projects can materialise in anything that contributes to society and quality of life.’ One of these schemes involves turning a dark and threatening pedestrian underpass into a welcoming and cosy arcade studded with coffee stalls and ice-cream vendors. Aside from taking a moral stance, with sustainability at its core, the designers of Holland also have hi-tech prowess. Joris Laarman and Dirk Vander Kooij’s 3D-printing techniques are making waves internationally. Zaandam-based Vander Kooij is best known for transforming a Chinese industrial robot into a 3D printer, which assists him in creating pieces such as lamps, vases and his Endless Chair, made

In the past few decades, Dutch design may have evolved to become more about purpose than tangible form, but there’s certainly no shortage of suitcase-friendly objects to buy Above (from top): Tamara Orjola’s Forest Wool furniture; Dirk Vander Kooij with his Endless robot

from strings of old refrigerator plastic. ‘I’ve always been fascinated with recycled synthetics, and I wanted to change the general perception that it produces only cheap and breakable products,’ says Vander Kooij. ‘With the help of our robot, I’ve created objects – layer by layer – one wouldn’t expect to be made of plastic.’ Robot number two has now joined the family, while a gigantic press is used to take care of the waste produced by the studio. ‘We feed the press chairs we’re not happy with and it turns them into chunky tables,’ says Vander Kooij. Dutch design may have evolved

to become more about purpose than tangible form, but there’s no shortage of suitcase-friendly objects to buy. You’ll find Eek’s ceramic jugs and Jongerius’s pots at The Frozen Fountain, for instance, while Ramakers personally recommends Droog’s Strap storage solution from her store, made from traditional bicycle carriers. She also tells us that there are still a few examples of Chest of Drawers, created in partnership with Tejo Remy in 1991, available to buy – the rest are housed in museums across the world as a celebration of a major chapter in global design history

TABLE TALK

When respect for ingredients is taken as seriously as the cooking of them, deep, honest flavours shine in every dish that leaves the kitchen. Dutch cuisine is traditionally simple, featuring dishes made from vegetables and a little meat, cooked and presented in an uncomplicated fashion. In this kind of food, every ingredient matters, so it’s no surprise that the growing worldwide concern with the quality and provenance of our food is particularly popular in the nation’s capital. The farm-to-table concept, a movement promoting the use of locally sourced foods direct from producers, has been embraced by a number of Amsterdam’s leading restaurants. The menus at these venues are based on a simple philosophy: food tastes best when it’s made from local, seasonal ingredients, some of them even grown by the restaurant teams. Don’t miss your chance to taste all the freshness that nature can offer. globalblue.com

Amsterdam’s farm-totable restaurants have much to offer, as Mónica R Goya discovers

DE KAS When Gert-Jan Hageman left his job at Vermeer restaurant two years after having achieved a Michelin star, little did he know that he would swap the kitchen for the field, that he would rescue a 1926 nursery from being demolished or, more importantly, that he would establish at the latter one of the best-loved restaurants in Amsterdam. With the help of his wife Jolinde, Hagemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision became a reality at De Kas. The restaurant, which features ceilings eight metres high and striking glass walls, offers a fixed menu that hinges on the vegetables and herbs grown locally in its greenhouses and farmland. Today Hageman, who has seen his concept copied all around the world, is still De Kasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head grower. De Kas, Kamerlingh Onneslaan 3, 1097 DE Amsterdam, +31 (0)20 462 4562, restaurantdekas.nl

WILDE ZWIJNEN

Founded by Sander Overeinder, who trained at seasonal and freshfood hotspot Chez Panisse in California, As prides itself on offering what it calls ‘pure cooking’. The reasonably priced menu is shaped by nature and usually comprises salads as well as fish and meat options, always served with delicious vegetables. The bread, baked on the premises, is remarkable, as is the wine list. On Sundays the restaurant offers a special à la carte menu that includes pizza and pasta. The restaurant is located in a former chapel built in the 1960s close to Beatrixpark. The cosy interior, which offers individual as well as communal tables, was conceived by talented design studio Müller van Tol. As, Prinses Irenestraat 19, 1077 WT Amsterdam, +31 (0)20 644 0100, restaurantas.nl

Wilde Zwijnen, whose name means ‘wild boar’ in English, is located in the eastern part of Amsterdam. The minimalist and industrial décor adds charm to this neighbourhood favourite. Make a reservation and you will find your name written on the wooden table with chalk. Placing an emphasis on the freshest seasonal and local ingredients, Wilde Zwijnen offers a three-course menu inspired by Dutch cuisine, the details of which are only unveiled when the food arrives at table. For those who don’t like culinary surprises, there is also a short à la carte menu. The bar next door, Eetbar, is run by the same team; pop in to sample small plates featuring Dutch classics.

The Rijksmuseum’s in-house restaurant focuses on the finest Dutch produce and the uncommon, exotic flavours that have influenced the country’s cuisine over the centuries. The restaurant features stylish interiors by Paul Linse, while the menu echoes Slow Food principles, incorporating ingredients from the Ark of Taste, a catalogue of endangered heritage foods. The preference of executive chef Joris Bijdendijk

and his team for organic, locally sourced produce shines through on the menu, which feels like an open invitation to discover the Netherlands. As Wim Pijbes, former Rijksmuseum general director, put it, ‘Rijks is the Rijksmuseum on your plate.’ Rijks, Museumplein 2, 1070 DN Amsterdam, +31 (0)20 674 7555, rijksrestaurant.nl

ZOE KARSSEN Worn by a number of leading celebrities, from Kate Moss to Beyoncé, Zoe Karssen is one of Amsterdam’s best-loved exports. Instantly recognisable for its tongue-in-cheek T-shirts and sweatshirts featuring prints and slogans that reference pop culture and rock ’n’ roll in equal measure, it’s hard to believe that the brand isn’t even a decade old. Started in 2010 by Zoe and Quince Karssen, the label has become the go-to place for easy separates and a relaxed weekend uniform.

PANDORA For spring/summer 2017, Pandora has created jewellery that is perfectly in tune with the season and brimming with vitality. The brand’s offering features delicate floral designs such as the Magnolia Bloom ring, while other pieces pop with colour: the Hearts of Pandora bangles and rings are decorated with cut-out hearts and are available in a number of different shades that can be stacked for a sparkling rainbow effect.

HARD ROCK CAFÉ The first Hard Rock Café opened in London in 1971, but it was 17 years before the brand began selling its now iconic merchandise to the general public. The Hard Rock logo can now be found emblazoned across T-shirts, keyrings, pins, baseball caps and even leather jackets, and these keepsakes have quickly become collector’s items, with fans stopping in Hard Rocks across the world to add to their collection. Look out for limited-edition items including the Signature Series T-shirts or Hard Rock Barbie at the Amsterdam outpost.

34: True Brilliance 至真光芒

阿姆斯特丹素来是全世界最重要的钻石购买地之一。Hannah Lewis带您寻觅完美宝石在 17世纪 — — 荷兰的黄金时代，阿姆斯特丹一跃成为一座繁荣的国际大都市，其在贸易、科学、艺术和文化领域的辉煌成在世界各地备受尊重。有一个行业的发展在此期间尤其突出，至今在阿姆斯特丹依然欣欣向荣 — — 那便是钻石业。自16世纪以来，这里的熟练工匠便开始加工宝石。随着城市财富的不断增长，这些珍贵宝石的国际需求也不断升温。如今，荷兰首都依然是世界上最好的钻石购买地之一，有一流供应商为您奉上品质卓绝的奇石与珠宝，覆盖从古典到现代的每一种风格。 “钻石是世界上最珍贵、最精美的石头。它十分稀有，因而能够保值。”Schaap en Citroen酒店的旅行

globalblue.com

零售主管 Denis Wortelboer解释道。他的选购建议是：“不仅选择时尚的款样，而且还要关注钻石的品质和证书。要注意四个 C，并找出最适合你的那个 C。” 这四个 C — —克拉（carat）、颜色（colour）、清晰度（clarity）和切割（cut）— — 是钻石行业的基石。正是通过它们，每颗钻石才得以分级。正如 Wortelboer所言，每个人心目中最重要的那个 C都不尽相同。在 Schaap en Citroen等知名专业钻石供应商这里，会有训练有素（且多语种）的工作人员提供服务，帮助顾客寻找最适合他们的那颗灵石。 Schaap en Citroen是由两家驰名品牌合并而来 — —成立于 1888 年的 Schaap，以及诞生于 1827年的雪铁龙（Citroen）。如今，该品牌已被全世界公认为领先行业的高级腕表及珠宝供应商。除了波米雷特（ Pomellato）、萧邦（Chopard）和 Marco Bicego等国际大牌的钻石珠宝，该珠宝商还推出了手工制造的自有品牌铂金钻石首饰：惊艳无比的 SC 1888系列。Schaap en Citroen

的钻石首饰系列品类齐全，引领潮流。“我们不仅做欧洲市场的领跑者，也会紧跟全球趋势,”Wortelboer 继续说道， “从而确保为我们所有的国际顾客提供最高品质的珠宝。” Zazare Diamonds是另一家专业钻石供应商，该品牌推出了各式各样镶有珍贵钻石的精美珠宝。戒指、耳环和吊坠采用一系列或经典或现代的设计，无瑕美钻镶嵌在 18克拉白金、玫瑰金或黄金之上。多语种导购服务还能让游客深入了解，收获个性化的珠宝建议。个人、情侣或游客团体皆可预订此项服务。 Gassan Diamond公司总部坐落于一幢历史悠久的建筑之中，这里曾是一家使用蒸汽机的钻石工厂。这片空间如今已颇具现代特色，但仍然是卓越的钻石中心，Gassan公司的专业工匠团队汇聚于此。26个语种的专业导购服务帮助游客在购买钻石之前获知需要了解的一切 — —从四个 C的重要性到将原始钻石转变为耀眼宝石的秘密。Gassan在全市设有众多精品店，其珠宝系列优雅柔美、前卫奢华，特别适合日常佩戴。 Coster Diamonds与许多举世闻名的宝石有着千丝万缕的联系。著名的英国皇冠上有一枚蓝白色的光之山钻石（ Koh- i- Noor），它就是由 Coster公司的专家负责打磨；镶嵌于萨克森皇冠上的德累斯顿钻石同样出自 Coster公司。该公司与皇室素有渊源，至今依然在为荷兰皇家切割钻石。 2007年，Coster公司开设了自己的钻石博物馆，一方面介绍钻石历史，另一方面展示皇家 Coster钻石的历史，更有一系列夺目名石可供参观。博物馆还为您提供一次独特的机会，让您亲睹劳作中的能工巧匠如何将钻石完美切割和抛光。馆内甚至还有数间工作坊，您可以亲自动手制作属于自己的完美钻饰。“我们向您展

globalblue.com

示钻石的全部奥秘与历史。”营销与传播主管 Ronald Koster 说，获得这些知识将能确保实现“第五个 C”— — 信心（Confidence），那就是， “在选购钻石的时候，要对您所在的购买地有信心。” 在 Coster公司，设计团队运用这些璀璨灵石，呈现各种各样或经典或前卫的珠宝作品。“钻石是永恒的象 “ 它如此美丽征， ” Koster先生说道，和珍贵，人们将它永久留存，这就是钻石的永恒魅力。

40: Form And Substance 型材兼备

荷兰的设计界向来新人辈出，创意不断。Emma Holmqvist Deacon带您一起欣赏世界上最引人注目的创意图景如果说斯堪的纳维亚设计定义了纯粹的功能性，那么荷兰设计则堪称叛逆而奔放的表亲。放眼今日的荷兰设计界，虽然 HP Berlage、JJP Oud 和 Gerrit Rietveld等 20世纪初的现代主义风格派运动（ De Stijl）主导者依然激发当代人的灵感，但世人眼中的现代荷兰设计多半出现在 20世纪 90年代。 “ 90年代的设计环境如一潭死水，发展迟缓，止步不前。”阿姆斯特

丹著名家居店 The Frozen Fountain 的主人 Cok de Rooy介绍说。这群创意人士聚集起来改变游戏规则，赫赫有名的 Piet Hein Eek和 Hella Jongerius都是其中一员。Eek 通过替换材料来推陈出新 — —用废木料制作家具，从而创造了一种辨识度颇高、备受追捧的标志性风格。与此同时，Jongerius则以前所未有的方式将工业元素与工艺元素融于一体。 Richard Hutten是这股创新潮流中另一位极具影响力的人物，他凭借“ No Sign of Design（无标记设计）”系列作品一炮而红。Hutten于 1992年设计的桌椅（ Table Chair）系列，吸引人们反思自己看见的究竟是 — — 椅子还是桌子。“这种打破常规的手法几乎能与孟菲斯团体（ Memphis group）媲美。” de Rooy 表示。孟菲斯团体指的是 20世纪 80 年代早期由 Ettore Sottsass发起、灵感源自意大利流行艺术的一场设计运动。概念性设计公司 Droog及其门店是荷兰设计传统的另一块奠基石。该店位于阿姆斯特丹，十分值得一逛。店内陈列着 1991年的奶瓶台灯等标志性产品，洋溢着那个时代典型的散漫风情。

如何描述新一代的本土设计师呢？Droogs公司总监 Renny Ramakers与 The Frozen Fountain公司的 de Rooy这两位行家一致认为今非昔比。“从前，产品就是产品 — — 现在情况大不相同。”Ramakers表示说。de Rooy则指出，学生和年轻设计师们将他们的作品当成了工具，用来解决能够影响他们未来的问题。“涉及环境、健康或通讯问题解决方案的社会性设计，才是年轻创意人士的兴趣所在。” 在世界上最有影响力的学校之一 — —艾恩德霍芬设计学院（ Design Academy Eindhoven）所举办的 2016 年毕业秀上，这批新生代设计师大展身手。Tamara Orjol将木材业剩余的松针加以处理后制成森林羊毛（ Forest Wool）系列家具和地毯，这便是这种时代精神的绝佳范例。像 Droog这样的知名设计师也在改变设计方式。“ 在过去两年里，我们关注的是能为城市带来积极变化的 “ 我们不因工作。”Ramakers解释说，循守旧，致力于做有益于社会和生活质量的项目。”其中一个方案便是，他们将一个阴暗、可怖的地下行人通道改造成了一条宜人、舒适的拱廊，沿路布满咖啡摊和冰淇淋小铺。

造的五斗橱仍可买到 — — 其余的都珍藏在世界各地的博物馆中，用于纪念全球设计史上的一个重要篇章。

80: When You Shop The World, Shop Tax Free 畅购全球，尊享退税

遵循道德立场、视可持续发展为核心的荷兰设计师们还拥有高科技实力，例如 Joris Laarman和 Dirk Vander Kooij的 3D打印新技术正在国际上掀起浪潮。Vander Kooij来自荷兰赞丹镇，他最著名的事迹便是将中国的一台工业机器人改造成 3D打印机，协助他将一条条废旧的冰箱塑料打造成灯、花瓶和无尽椅（ Endless Chair）等物品。“我一直对循环利用的合成材料很着迷。大家一般认为它只能用于生产便宜但不够牢固的产品，我想改变这种成 “ 在我们这台见。”Vander Kooij说，机器人的帮助下，我已经创造出了一些物品 — — 一层又一层 — —人们根本想不到这些东西还能用塑料来制作。”机器人二号现已加入了大家庭，还有一个巨大的压床被用来处理工作室产生的垃圾。 “我们把不满意的椅子丢进压床，摇身一变成为厚实的桌子。”Vander Kooij说。经过多年演变，如今的荷兰设计或许更侧重功能性而非外表，但是依然有许多小巧玲珑、方便携带品任您选购。例如，您可以在 The Frozen Fountain店内觅得 Eek的陶壶和 Jongerius的花盆，还有 Ramakers亲自推荐的 Droog绷带储物架，由传统的自行车托架制成。她还告诉我们，有几款与 Tejo Remy在 1991年合作打

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 34: True Brilliance Подлинный блеск Ханна Льюис рассказывает, как выбрать идеальный бриллиант в Амстердаме

PHOTO: COURTESY OF SCHAAP EN CITROEN JUWELIERS

В 17 веке Голландия переживала Золотой период и превращалась в великую державу. Именно на это время пришелся расцвет торговли, науки, искусства и культуры в Амстердаме, и столица приобрела заслуженное мировое уважение. Тогда же стремительное развитие получила сфера огранки алмазов, и до сих пор голландские бриллианты сохраняют особый статус. Начиная с 16 века профессиональные мастера занимались обработкой драгоценных камней в Амстердаме. И по мере роста благосостояния города

увеличивался и мировой спрос на бриллианты. В наши дни столица Голландии остается одним из основных направлений в этой сфере, и крупные голландские бренды способны предложить исключительные по качеству и красоте камни и украшения всех мыслимых стилей, от классических до ультрасовременных. «Бриллиант – самый драгоценный и изысканный камень в мире. Такой ценностью он обязан своей редкости», – объясняет Денис Вортельбоэр, который руководит продажами для путешественников в компании Schaap en Citroen. Свой совет по выбору бриллианта он формулирует так: «Обращайте внимание не только на красивые украшения, но и на качество бриллиантов и сертификаты. Изучите четыре основных параметра и выберите тот, который вы считаете самым важным».

Четыре характеристики бриллиантов также называют «4C» – по названию ключевых свойств на английском языке: вес в каратах – carat, цвет – colour, чистота – clarity и огранка – cut. Именно на этих характеристиках базируется классификация камней. По словам Вортельбоэра, все люди по-разному расставляют приоритеты. Поэтому профессиональный и мультиязычный персонал столь авторитетной компании, как Schaap en Citroen, всегда поможет клиенту выбрать самый подходящий бриллиант. Компания Schaap en Citroen появилась от слияния двух уважаемых брендов: Schaap, основан в 1888 году, и Citroen (1827). В наши дни ее знают во всем мире как ведущего продавца изысканных часов и украшений. В ассортименте Schaap en Citroen есть бриллиантовые украшения от крупных ювелирных домов, в том числе Pomellato, Chopard globalblue.com

и Marco Bicego. Кроме того, компания создает собственную серию SC 1888, в которую входят украшения ручной работы из платины и бриллиантов. «Мы не только задаем моду на европейском рынке, но и следуем мировым тенденциям, – комментирует Вортельбоэр обширный ассортимент бриллиантовых украшений Schaap en Citroen. – Поэтому мы способны обеспечить высочайшее качество для всех наших покупателей из любой точки мира». Zazare Diamonds – еще один эксперт по красивым украшениям с бриллиантами. В коллекциях этого бренда есть как классические, так и более современные модели колец, серег и подвесок, и драгоценные камни обрамлены оправами из белого, розового или желтого золота 750 пробы. Заглянуть за кулисы бриллиантового дела и получить персональную ювелирную консультацию можно в рамках специальных экскурсий: они проводятся на различных языках для отдельных посетителей, пар или групп. Штаб-квартира ювелирной компании Gassan Diamond занимает историческое здание, в котором прежде располагалось бриллиантовое производство на паровом двигателе. Конечно, сейчас установлены гораздо более современные технологии, но само место по-прежнему остается центром притяжения

PHOTO: ROYAL COSTER DIAMONDS

профессиональных мастеров. Во время экскурсий, которые проводятся на 26 языках, посетители узнают все, что нужно для покупки идеального бриллианта: от важности каждой характеристики из «4C» до секретов преображения сырого алмаза в сверкающую драгоценность. В фирменных амстердамских бутиках Gassan можно внимательно рассмотреть элегантные и женственные украшения, которые созданы с ориентиром на моду и роскошь, но при этом прекрасно подходят для повседневности. Славу компании Coster Diamonds принесли знаменитые драгоценности с историей. Мастера Coster огранили сине-белый бриллиант Kohi-Noor, украшающий корону Великобритании, и бриллиант Dresden, который является частью саксонской короны. Компания и в наши дни продолжает развивать связи с королевской знатью и ограняет бриллианты для королевского двора Голландии. В 2007 году компания Coster открыла собственный музей бриллиантов. Экспозиции рассказывают историю обработки драгоценных камней и о Royal Coster Diamonds, а также демонстрируют коллекцию выдающихся и знаменитых драгоценностей.

огранки и полировки камня до совершенства. Более того, в отдельных мастерских посетители могут попробовать свои силы в создании бриллиантовых украшений. «Мы с удовольствием поведаем историю бриллиантов и поделимся секретами их обработки», – поясняет директор по маркетингу и коммуникациям Рональд Костер. С его точки зрения, эти знания принципиально важны для «пятой характеристики C». Он говорит о доверии – confidence: «Когда вы покупаете бриллиант, важно доверять месту, где он выставлен на продажу». Время не властно над бриллиантовыми украшениями марки Coster: команда ювелиров может предложить самые разные произведения в классическом или ультра-модном стиле, все с великолепными камнями. На вопрос о том, почему бриллианты всегда остаются неизменно желанными, Костер отвечает так: «Они символизируют вечность. Мы верим в красоту этого редкого камня, который останется с вами навсегда».

Эмма Холмквист Дикон рассказывает о самых интересных промышленных дизайнерах Голландии Если скандинавский дизайн воплощает чистую функциональность, то голландский дизайн – его свободолюбивый кузенбунтарь. На него по-прежнему влияют модернизм 19 века и творческие поиски первопроходцев авангардного общества De Stijl («Де Стейл») Хендрика Петрюса Берлаге, Якобуса Йоханнеса Ауда и Геррита Ритвельда. Но то, что многие называют современным

голландским стилем, на самом деле появилось в 1990-е. «Это движение сформировалось как реакция на стагнацию в сфере дизайна того времени», – делится Кок де Роой, владелец известного амстердамского магазина The Frozen Fountain. Получившие признание дизайнеры Пит Хайн Эйк и Хелла Йонгериус принимали непосредственное участие в развитии творческого потенциала Нидерландов. Эйк, в частности, проектирует мебель из деревянных обрезков, и использование альтернативных материалов стало характерной особенностью голландского дизайна. Йонгериус же в своих работах соединила промышленные и ремесленные

особенности таким образом, как еще не делал никто до нее. Дизайнер Ричард Хаттен также внес свою лепту в оформление современного голландского дизайна. Успех и известность ему принесла фирменная серия под названием No Sign of Design. В 1992 году Хаттен разработал Table Chair, который ставил перед зрителем вопрос: что это – стул или стол. «Подобный нонконформистский подход можно в какой-то мере сравнить с творчеством группы “Мемфис”», – де Роой проводит параллель с итальянским движением в дизайне, которое появилось на волне поп-арта в начале 1980-х под руководством Этторе Соттсасса. Компания Droog также специализируется на концептуальном дизайне, и ее магазин в Амстердаме стоит посетить в рамках знакомства с дизайнерским наследием Нидерландов. Здесь продаются культовые вещи: например, люстра Milkbottle Lamp, которая была спроектирована в 1991 году с типичным для того времени акцентом на беспечности и легкомыслии. Каким стало новое поколение дизайнеров Голландии по мнению Ренни Рамакерса из Droog и де Роой из The Frozen Fountain? Эксперты сходятся во мнении, что это явление совсем другого рода: «Раньше вещь была просто вещью, но теперь это не так», – отмечает Рамакерс. Де

Роой говорит, что студенты и молодые дизайнеры используют свои проекты для решения глобальных проблем будущего: «Их по-настоящему волнует социальный дизайн, который идет на пользу окружающей среде, здоровью и коммуникациям». Во всей красе показали себя дизайнеры нового поколения на выпускном шоу 2016 года в Академии дизайна Эйндховена, самой влиятельной высшей школе дизайна в мире. Одним из самых ярких примеров их подхода стал проект Тамары Орйолы: она сделала серию мебели и ковров под названием Forest Wool из переработанных сосновых иголок, которые в изобилии остаются от промышленных лесозаготовок. Вслед за ними обновляют правила игры и такие устойчивые игроки, как Droog: «В течение двух лет мы фокусируемся на тех проектах, которые позитивно преображают город, – объясняет Рамакерс. – Мы привязываемся к конкретным дисциплинам, и какой бы вид ни принимали наши идеи, главное – что они делают вклад в общество и качество жизни». Одна из таких программ посвящена преображению темных пешеходных переходов в приятные и уютные галереиаркады с помощью лотков с кофе и мороженым. Помимо четкой этической позиции с особым вниманием

чемодане. Например, в The Frozen Fountain продают керамические кувшины Эйка и горшки Йонгериус, а из ассортимента Droog Рамакерс лично рекомендует систему хранения Strap, сделанную из велосипедных багажников. Кроме того, здесь попрежнему продается несколько комодов Chest of Drawers, созданных совместно с Тейо Реми в 1991 году: в свободной продаже их осталось совсем немного, поскольку остальные уже вошли в коллекции мировых музеев как символ важного этапа в истории мирового дизайна.

к экологии, дизайнеры Нидерландов также активно задействуют хай-тек. Всемирное внимание уже привлекли новые технологии 3D-печати дизайнеров Йориса Лаармана и Дирка Вандер Кооий. Вандер Кооий из Зандама превратил китайского промышленного робота в 3D-принтер. С его помощью он напечатал лампы, вазы и даже кресло Endless Chair из струн, полученных из пластиковых частей старого холодильника. «Меня всегда привлекали переработанные синтетические материалы. Я хотел переломить стереотип, что из них можно делать только дешевые и недолговечные вещи, – комментирует Вандер Кооий. – С помощью нашего робота я создаю объекты, слой за слоем, и вряд ли кто-то подумает, что они из того самого пластика». К производственному процессу уже присоединился робот номер два. А мусор, который производит сама студия дизайнера, попадает в гигантский пресс: «Мы скармливаем прессу стулья, которые нам не понравились, и он превращает их в столы», – объясняет дизайнер. Конечно, голландский дизайн постепенно стал больше внимания уделять задачам вещей, а не их материальной форме. Но среди разработок дизайнеров достаточно таких предметов, которые можно увезти с собой в

TERJEMAHAN BAHASA INDONESIA 34: True Brilliance Kecemerlangan Sejati Amsterdam sudah lama menjadi salah satu destinasi terpenting dunia untuk berlian. Hannah Lewis mendapatkan informasi penting tentang cara menemukan ratna nan sempurna Masa Emas Belanda abad ke17 menyaksikan Amsterdam terbentuk menjadi sebuah kekuatan internasional besar: perdagangan, sains, seni, dan budayanya dihormati di seluruh dunia. Satu industri secara khusus tampil menonjol selama masa ini, dan masih berjalan kuat di Amsterdam hari ini: berlian. Batu manikam ini telah dikerjakan oleh pengkriya terampil di kota ini sejak abad ke-16, dan sambil kemakmuran kota ini terus tumbuh, begitu juga permintaan internasional terhadap batu yang paling mulia ini. Kini, ibu kota Belanda ini tetap salah satu tempat terbaik di dunia untuk membeli berlian, dengan para penyedia terkemukanya menawarkan batu dan perhiasan panutan dari segala gaya, dari klasik hingga kontemporer. ‘Berlian adalah batu paling berharga dan paling mewah di dunia. Berlian bertahan nilainya

karena sangat langka,’ papar Denis Wortelboer, direktur perjalanan ritel di Schaap en Citroen. Nasihatnya ketika menyangkut pembelian adalah ‘berfokus bukan hanya pada kecantikan perhiasan berliannya, namun juga pada kualitas dan sertifikat keaslian berlian itu sendiri. Berikan perhatian kepada empat C dan ketahui satu C yang paling cocok dengan Anda.’ Empat C – carat (karat), colour (warna), clarity (kejernihan), dan cut (potongan) – adalah patokan industri berlian. Dengan 4 sifat inilah setiap berlian dinilai mutunya. Seperti kata Wortelboer, setiap orang akan merasa berbeda tentang unsur yang terpenting, dan di pakar berlian yang diakui semisal Schaap en Citroen, akan siap sedia staf yang sangat terlatih (dan menguasai banyak bahasa) guna memandu klien ke batu yang paling tepat untuk mereka. Schaap en Citroen tercipta dengan menyatukan dua merek mapan – Schaap, yang berdiri di tahun 1888, dan Citroen, yang memulai hidup di tahun 1827. Kini, nama ini diakui di seluruh dunia sebagai penyedia terkemuka arloji dan perhiasan mewah. Selain menawarkan perhiasan berlian dari nama-nama terkemuka internasional – Pomellato, Chopard, dan Marco Bicego sebagai beberapa contoh – tim ini juga membuat jajaran perhiasan kriyanya sendiri yang menakjubkan dari berlian platina: SC 1888. ‘Di samping sebagai pencipta tren untuk pasar Eropa, kami juga mengikuti tren secara global,’ tukas Wortelboer tentang Schaap en Citroen, lini perhiasan

berliannya yang luas. ‘Karena itu, kami bisa menyediakan perhiasan berkualitas tertinggi untuk semua langganan internasional kami.’ Pakar terkemuka lainnya adalah Zazare Diamonds, yang menawarkan beragam perhiasan cantik yang menonjolkan batu-batu mulia ini. Cincin, anting, dan liontin hadir berupa sederet desain klasik dan lebih modern, dengan set berlian mewah berbalut emas putih, merah muda, atau kuning 18 karat. Wisata berpemandu – tersedia dalam beragam bahasa – memungkinkan pengunjung melihat ke balik panggung dan menerima nasihat perhiasan yang dipersonalkan. Wisata ini bisa dipesan secara pribadi atau untuk pasangan atau rombongan yang lebih besar. Kantor pusat Gassan Diamond menempati sebuah gedung bersejarah yang sebelumnya berfungsi sebagai pabrik berlian bertenaga uap. Kini jauh lebih modern, ruang itu masih sebuah pusat kegemilangan, dan rumah bagi tim pengkriya ahli Gassan. Wisata berpemandu, yang tersedia dalam 26

bahasa, memungkinkan pengunjung menemukan apa saja yang perlu diketahui sebelum membeli berlian, dari arti penting empat C hingga rahasia dalam mengalihrupakan berlian kasar menjadi manikam berkilau. Gassan mempunyai sejumlah butik di seantero kota, tempat pengunjung bisa menjelajahi deretan perhiasannya yang elegan dan feminin, yang dirancang agar maju secara mode dan mewah namun pas untuk sehari-hari. Coster Diamonds dikenal karena kaitannya dengan sejumlah ratna terkenal. Koh-i-Noor, berlian biru-putih yang menjadi bagian dari permata mahkota Britania Raya yang termasyhur, dipoles oleh para pakar Coster, demikian juga berlian Dresden, bagian dari permata mahkota Saxony. Perusahaan ini mempunyai kaitan panjang dengan kerajaan; hari ini Coster terus memotong berlian untuk rumah tangga kerajaan Belanda. Di tahun 2007, Coster membuka museum berliannya, tempat pengunjung bisa menemukan pameran sejarah berlian dan Royal

Coster Diamonds, serta satu koleksi manikam yang luar biasa dan termasyhur. Wisata ini juga menawarkan kesempatan unik melihat pengkriya berbakat sedang bekerja, memotong dan memoles sampai sempurna, dan bahkan ada bengkel tempat peserta bisa terlibat dalam membuat sendiri potongan sempurna perhiasan berlian mereka. ‘Kami bisa menunjukkan semua rahasia dari berlian dan sejarahnya,’ kata direktur pemasaran dan komunikasi Ronald Koster. Pengetahuan ini, dia meyakini, penting guna memastikan apa yang disebutnya dengan ‘C kelima’: confidence (kepercayaan). ‘Ketika Anda membeli berlian, punyailah kepercayaan terhadap tempat Anda membelinya.’ Di Coster, daya tarik abadi berlian berarti tim desain dapat menyajikan satu jajaran luas perhiasan yang klasik dan maju secara mode, semuanya mengusung batu berkilau ini. Jadi, mengapa Koster berpikir bahwa berlian telah terbukti begitu diidamkan secara abadi? ‘Berlian adalah lambang keabadian,’ ujarnya. ‘Kami yakin akan kecantikan ratna ini. Ini batu langka yang akan Anda ingin miliki selamanya.’

40: Form And Substance Bentuk Dan Isi Ada jauh lebih banyak yang terkandung dalam desain Belanda daripada jumlah bagian-bagiannya. Emma Holmqvist Deacon melihat salah satu suasana kreatif yang paling memikat di dunia Jika desain Skandinavia adalah definisi dari fungsionalitas yang bersih, mitra imbangan Belandanya bisa digambarkan sebagai keponakannya yang badung dan bersemangat bebas. Sementara modernisme abad ke-19 dan para perintis De Stijl seperti HP Berlage, JJP Oud, dan Gerrit Rietveld terus mengilhami, yang banyak dikaitkan dengan desain Belanda masa kini sebenarnya muncul di era 1990-an. ‘Gerakan ini dikembangkan sebagai reaksi terhadap suasana desain yang agak mandek waktu itu,’ kata Cok de Rooy, pemilik

toko Amsterdam yang tenar The Frozen Fountain. Baik Piet Hein Eek maupun Hella Jongerius, yang dielu-elukan hari ini, merupakan bagian dari kelompok kreatif yang mengubah arah permainan ini. Eek membawa sesuatu yang baru dengan menggunakan bahan alternatif – membuat mebel dari kayu buangan – dan saat melakukannya, menciptakan ciri khas yang diakui dan banyak dicari. Sementara itu, Jongerius menggabungkan unsurunsur industri dan kriya dengan cara yang belum pernah ditampilkan sebelumnya. Richard Hutten adalah nama lain yang amat berpengaruh. Dia menorehkan nama lewat satu seri yang disebut dengan No Sign of Design. Table Chair (Kursi Meja) 1992 Hutten mengundang orang bertanya tentang apa yang sebenarnya sedang mereka lihat – kursi atau meja. ‘Pendekatan tidak patuh ini hampir bisa dibandingkan dengan kelompok Memphis,’ menurut pengamatan de Rooy, dengan merujuk ke gerakan desain yang diilhami budaya pop Italia yang dirintis oleh Ettore Sottsass di awal era 1980-an. Perusahaan desain konseptual Droog adalah salah satu tonggak warisan desain Belanda yang lain, demikian juga dengan tokonya yang wajib dikunjungi di Amsterdam. Perusahaan ini menyetok produk-produk ikonis, semisal Milkbottle Lamp 1991, dengan penyimpangan bengalnya yang khas dari masa itu. Seperti apakah Renny Ramakers, direktur Droogs, dan de Rooy, bos The Frozen Fountain mendefinisikan

generasi baru desainer pribumi? Kedua pakar setuju bahwa generasi ini seekor “binatang” yang berbeda sama sekali. ‘Di masa lalu, produk ya produk – kini tidak lagi demikian,’ catat Ramakers, dan de Rooy menunjukkan bahwa para mahasiswa dan perancang muda menggunakan karya mereka sebagai wahana untuk memecahkan masalah yang akan memengaruhi masa depan mereka. ‘Desain sosial, yang melibatkan solusi yang akan membantu lingkungan, kesehatan, atau komunikasi, adalah fokus para kreatif muda kita,’ ujarnya. Generasi baru perancang ini mulai unjuk kekuatan dalam pameran lulusan tahun 2016 Design Academy Eindhoven, salah satu sekolah paling berpengaruh di dunia. Mebel dan karpet Forest Wool karya Tamara Orjola, yang dibuat dari daun pinus olahan yang dipanen dari limbah industri perkayuan, adalah contoh bagus semangat zaman ini. Pemain-pemain mapan semisal Droog juga mengubah cara mereka. ‘Selama dua tahun terakhir, kami telah berfokus pada karya yang membuat perubahan positif di kota,’ papar Ramakers. ‘Pendekatan kami adalah anti-disiplin dan proyekproyek kami bisa mewujud dalam apa saja yang berkontribusi kepada masyarakat dan kualitas kehidupan.’ Salah satu skema ini melibatkan upaya mengubah sebuah terowongan pejalan kaki yang gelap dan mengerikan menjadi arkad yang ramah dan nyaman yang bertabur kedai kopi dan penjual es krim. Di samping mengambil sikap moral, dengan keberlanjutan pada

intinya, para perancang Belanda juga menguasai kecakapan tekno tinggi. Teknik-teknik cetak 3D baru dari Joris Laarman dan Dirk Vander Kooij sedang menciptakan gelombang secara internasional. Vander Kooij yang berpangkalan di Zandam paling terkenal karena mengalihwujudkan sebuah robot industri Tiongkok menjadi printer 3D, yang membantunya menciptakan benda-benda semisal lampu, jambangan, dan Endless Chair, yang dibuat dari utas-utas plastik kulkas tua. ‘Saya selalu terpesona oleh bahan sintetik daur ulang, dan saya ingin mengubah persepsi umum bahwa bahan itu hanya menghasilkan produk murah yang gampang rusak,’ ujar Vander Kooij. ‘Dengan bantuan robot kami, saya telah menciptakan barangbarang – lapisan demi lapisan – yang tidak diharapkan orang akan terbuat dari plastik.’ Robot nomor dua kini telah bergabung dengan keluarga itu, sementara sebuah mesin pres raksasa digunakan untuk mengurus limbah yang dihasilkan studio. ‘Kami

mengumpankan ke mesin pres itu kursi-kursi yang tidak kami sukai dan mengubahnya menjadi meja tebal,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; ujar Vander Kooij. Desain Belanda mungkin telah berkembang menjadi lebih tentang tujuan daripada bentuk berwujud, namun tidak ada kelangkaan barang yang mudah masuk koper untuk dibeli. Anda akan menemukan kendi keramik Eek dan pot Jongerius di The Frozen Fountain misalnya, sementara Ramakers menyarankan secara pribadi solusi penyimpanan Strap Droog dari tokonya, yang dibuat dari pembawa sepeda tradisional. Dia juga mengatakan bahwa masih ada segelintir contoh Chest of Drawers, yang dibuat lewat kemitraan dengan Tejo Remy di tahun 1991, yang tersedia untuk dibeli â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sisanya ditampung di berbagai museum di seluruh dunia sebagai perayaan sebuah bab besar dalam sejarah desain global.
