Fundraising campaign for Greenpeace

By:  January 10, 2018 Categories: 

The Netherlands is one of the richest countries in the world. So it comes as no surprise that the answer to the question ‘what do you want for Christmas’ is nine out of ten times: ‘nothing’ (‘Niks’). That’s why KesselsKramer came up with a solution for this problem. For Greenpeace we designed the ideal gift for everyone who already has ‘everything’: nothing. Meaning, a nice box that literally has nothing in it. It’s a symbolic gift that proceeds to the restoration of the sustainable balance between humans and the environment. A win-win-situation for both the giver and the lucky gifted. And it even fits through the mailbox.

‘Nothing’ is available in different sizes such as ‘three times nothing’ and ‘totally northing’ at greenpeace.nl/niks

We’re in TaiKoo Li QianTan (前滩太古里), a brand new, high-end shopping mall near the Huangpu River in Pudong. It’s a beautiful complex with four levels, viewing bridges, walls of white steel and vertical gardens (the first I’ve seen that actually look like on an architectural drawing), and paths of bright bricks alternating with patches of […]

Torrential rain and colorful umbrellas

Torrential rain and colorful umbrellas

I was planning a bike ride, but then saw it was drizzling, so I carried Hasse outside — underneath an umbrella — to go get a coffee. Yet the rain was so heavy we just hid underneath the canopy in front of a supermarket to see some of the chaos unfold. I’ll miss these streets […]
