Blog tour Amsterdam - Moooi & Marcel Wanders

The first stop on <a href="http://www.bloggerstour.com/" target="_blank">our recent Amsterdam blog tour</a> was at the amazing showroom of <a href="http://www.moooi.com/" target="_blank">Moooi</a>. Moooi was founded in 2001 by designer Marcel Wanders and marketing specialist Casper Vissers with the goal to make interiors more beautiful, exciting and inspiring. The name Moooi comes from the Dutch word for beautiful, with an extra 'o' added, as in extra value in terms of beauty and uniqueness.<br /><div><br /></div><div><i>Le premier stop sur <a href="http://www.bloggerstour.com/" target="_blank">notre récent blog tour à Amsterdam</a> a eu lieu dans le fantastique showroom de <a href="http://www.moooi.com/" target="_blank">Moooi</a>.
