EditorialIt’s going to be a hot summer.

The great thing in my profession is that you can experience summer way in advance, while children are still making snowmen in the schoolyard. For months on end, together with the purchase team, we are visualising ourselves on golden, unspoilt beaches, under frivolous parasols with fresh summer wines and gentle evening breezes. When later on in the evening you get into your car, reality hits home, but all those good things in life do put you in the summer mood. My spring yearnings always start in January. I’m very sensitive to atmosphere. No surprise then that I love Christmas, but once it’s 2 January, I can’t wait for spring to begin. What is better in life than waking up with the singing of the birds in the early morning, a sun that rises before 6am, the dew on the fresh green leaves and driving to work with the sunroof open? I’m already looking forward to long summer nights on the veranda, with some gentle background music, flickering candle lanterns, a good book and a light fruity wine. Life is Beautiful.

The Rivièra Maison Summer Collection promises it is going to be a long hot summer, with the heavenly Nankali Resort and Spa as our main theme. Think of waving palm trees on golden beaches, a nice summer salad on a terrace and cooled water with lime. In the evenings, the crickets drown out the noise of waves rolling onto the beach at a continuous and steady pace. Underneath the black sky you enjoy the lack of music, although you can hear a gamelan in the far distance. The black Nankali lanterns light up the path to the veranda.

Jardin sur le Sagne takes you on a journey to the French Campagne, where you will enjoy a nice espresso or mint tea on a terrace, while watching the weekly street market being set up. Strawberries for sale in a wicker basket instead of one of those blue plastic trays that you get at your local greengrocer’s, large water melons and lively-coloured table linen and quilts are heaped up high in old, worn wooden stalls.

From the Bahamas, the sea appears to be even bluer than she is in reality. When talking of the sea, I deliberately refer to it as female, as there in the Caribbean the sea is like a beautiful capricious woman. The rough, hand-woven rattan does in fact fit well into this theme, as does the soft azure quilts and cushions. I have asked for Hibiscus Hill to be written on the cabinets. I can visualise them now in a weather-beaten wooden beach house with white louvered shutters and a large balcony with panoramic sea views. In the cabinet you keep your most beautiful shells, next to your Sunday white service…

Bobby’s Birthday is the most cheerful theme of the summer. What can be more fun than an old-fashioned children’s party, complete with plates, flags and ‘Happy birthday to you…’?

My favourite accessories this summer is the Soho Loft Lamp, among other things. It’s a fabulous hanging lamp modelled on a retro inspection lamp. Furthermore, the first version of the Mobile Phone Organiser has already found its way to my home. Trying to find the right charger for my mobile phone and Blackberry used to drive me crazy and I’m glad this has now been solved. The Rum Cay Picnic Hamper puts the fun back into an outdoor pick-nick on the beach, with a nice bottle of wine, sandwiches, even in your own back garden!

I’m a real coffee fanatic, not much of a fan of filtered coffee though, I rather like the Italian espresso and in that case a Caffè Doppio of Caffè Solo is a dream come true. Your summer table is complete with the Ramatuelle Table Parasol, the ultimate atmosphere creator.

I’m going to light the fireplace, put some music on and dream of a long hot summer.See you later at Rivièra Maison, Your way of living

The chargers for mobile phones and iPods were scattered around my house. The Rustic Rattan Mobile Phone Organizer

instantly resolves this problem. The drawer provides space for your basic stationery.

On one of my many travels I came across a set of classic cricket bats. Cricket is a popular sport in the Commonwealth of Nations. The striker uses the flat side of the cricket bat to hit the ball, but in this instance these original bats add a sportive theme to your interior.

NEW ORLEANS WINDOW ShUTTER135040

Installing window shutters often involves a substantial investment, but they are a true asset to any interior as they are splendid filters of natural light. These hardwood louvered stands are a great alternative. They are suitable for many different rooms and can easily be moved elsewhere, very handy on the window sill to prevent preying eyes.

Henk Teunissen: “watching all those people enjoying themselves in our shops gave me goose bumps…”

Best Retail Chain in the Netherlands

AANNUALRETAILAWARD2008

It was the day that Barack Obama was elected the 44th President of the US. Henk Teunissen, CEO of Rivièra Maison, briefly felt like Barack Obama after his overwhelming election victory. “Yes we can.”Two years ago, Rivièra Maison still ranked in the top four. Yet at the end of 2008, the day had finally come: In Hilversum, in studio 22, packed to the rafters, A professional jury chose Rivièra Maison as winner of the best retail chain in the Netherlands, based on an excellent report. Rivièra Maison is the best retail chain in the Netherlands. Finally…..! Henk and his staff plus members of the board embraced each other with joy. It was an emotional scene.Subsequently, they enjoyed every step that brought them closer to the stage and the Annual Retail Award, shaking dozens of hands of people they hardly recognised due to the bright spotlights and immense flashlight photography, en route.Pats on the back, kisses, cries of support, applauding and cheering people all formed part of the scene.Henk clearly enjoyed his triumphal march.“I didn’t dare believe that Rivièra Maison would snatch it this time”, says Henk a few days later, still glowing. “So I hadn’t

By Henny van Straaten prepared a speech. But en route to the stage I promised to extend my gratitude to the staff and customers of Rivièra Maison, who had earned this title for us, to state our ambitions and to conclude with the slogan of Obama: “Yes we can!”.But that opportunity was taken from me. After the chairman had read out the jury report, the award was presented. Subsequently, the photographers asked us to pose and we were congratulated and spoken to. When that had finished, presenter Anita Witzier had already announced the next part of the programme, which was a bit of a disappointment.” So Henk came up with an alternative. He took out his trusted Blackberry and sent an e-mail to his staff, thanking them and congratulating them with the title.“Dozens of messages returned not long thereafter.” Meanwhile the Marketing Manager, there and then issued instructions to place advertisements in various national newspapers, with a message in which Rivièra Maison thanked its customers for their share in the success. At the same time, anyone visiting the Rivièra Maison Stores the following Saturday was promised a small present, with the prospect of one customer even becoming Rivièra Maison VIP customer for a whole year.“On that Saturday, Rogier Uivel (General Manager) and I

The title ‘Best Retail Chain in the Netherlands’ was extensively celebrated with our staff, relations and with you. Everyone was given a nice present upon entering one of our outlets and automatically included in the lottery for becoming VIP customer for a whole year, featuring some unique advantages, including an accessory package of € 1,000 issued twice a year, a furniture cheque for € 5,000, styling advice from Nico Tijsen and free tickets for the Grande Première in both the spring and autumn.Margreet Waagmeester from Almere was gobsmacked when she learned she had become VIP customer.“That was the last thing I expected, I’m thrilled! I’m a true Rivièra Maison fan. I just bought the Kensington Sofa and the Montauk Point Sofa from the collection.

travelled to our Concept Store at Van Baerlestraat in Amsterdam”, Henk continues. “That was quite special. Enthusiasm was oozing from a distance, as the building had been decorated with balloons and streamers, while staff, full of pride, helped our customers to a cappuccino or prosecco. And the customers clearly enjoyed all this attention. When watching the predominantly female audience entering the showpiece of Rivièra Maison, it reminded me of those little faces on my children when they passed through the doors of Disneyland for the first time, they were that enthusiastic and passionate. To them, a visit to Rivièra Maison was no longer shopping, it was an outing. That really gave me goose bumps!”

CCoffee in Italy is nothing short of a science. Italians only drink coffee of the highest quality. That is probably also the reason why the world famous Starbucks has to date decided against opening a coffee company shop there. The Caffè Solo and Caffè Doppio are suitable for espresso, double espresso and cappuccino, but also for regular coffee. Provided it is prepared with due care and attention! The matching tray offers sufficient room for a nice chocolate or other sweet delicacy.

Interview by Birgitta Veld

‘ absolutely jean beddington’

Jean Beddington, born in England, developed her love for the kitchen from an early age on, through her mum and grandmother. After having travelled around the world, she settled in Japan, where she completed a classic culinary training programme. Jean has been in the profession for 30 years and has a unique talent for combining a tradition style with new concepts. Her newly published cookery book ‘Absolutely Jean Beddington’ is a recipe book for advanced food enthusiasts, but does also include quick recipes for all to use. It is a perfect gift and can be purchased in the Concept Store and the Flagship Stores.

What inspires you in your recipes? ‘I love food and life in general and I’m inspired by a wide range of different things, such as music, films, aromas or whatever I see in the street.’

Do you take an interest in living and interior? ‘Fed by my background as a graphic designer, I certainly take an interest in that. I’ve had different restaurants and always carefully selected the right architect in terms of interior.

What typically Dutch dish do you enjoy? ‘Difficult, I’ve always had a dislike of stews, but these days I can appreciate a fresh endive stew. But a carrot and potato stew will never find its way onto my menu!

Do you ever visit Rivièra Maison? ‘I visit Gelderlandplein each week. It’s a very pleasant shop and I always buy my flowers there.’

Do you want to try the culinary art of this unique lady chef, then do visit her restaurant Beddington’s. You will not be disappointed!

N ear the small river Le Sagne, in the south of France, you can find an authentic cottage soaking up the sun, with weathered blue shutters. The charming garden boasts lots of hydrangeas, flowering hollyhocks and plenty of fragrant lavender with flowers like candles, leading to a riverbed. In the sluggish late afternoon, this is the setting for an attractive teagarden with numerous pink and white summery parasols featuring handmade ornaments and cushions of various flower-patterned fabrics in pink, to create an original patchwork effect.

The authentic Sailing Club Rum Cay is for real connoisseurs and accessible only via the ocean. This is a peaceful place, offering spectacular views and where you can moor for a light lunch or extensive dinner after a great day out sailing.

This is a typical product where beauty and practicality work in harmony. Put up a pair and the summery table becomes even more attractive. Practical at the same time, as the food is protected against direct sun-light. Handmade hearts with the Rivièra Maison logo suspend from this original table parasol.

Putting Rivièra Maison on the international map, that is what Henk Teunissen, CE O of Rivièra Maison, wants to do in the years to come.

In addition to the successes Rivièra Maison enjoys as a brand name in the Netherlands and internationally interest has been soaring in the past years. Across the border people are starting to notice that Rivièra Maison is a special home furnishing concept. As a result, Rivièra Maison now has sales outlets in more than 50 countries from Oslo to Sydney and so-called Premium Dealers/complete shop-in-shops in places such as Biarritz, Montpellier, Warsaw, Barcelona, Madrid, Nice and Marbella.

In addition, there is plenty of media attention in various international magazines, such as the leading article in the British ‘Homes and Gardens’ of past September, an interview with a Turkish news magazine, ‘Living at Home’ plus La mia Casa Country’ in Italy and with a major article in the Australian ‘Home Beautiful’ lined up for this spring.

‘On the main international fairs in Paris and Frankfurt we present ourselves as a true home furnishing brand’ Henk Teunissen explains. ‘We don’t just sell lanterns or small candles in a glass jar, but a sensation, a ‘Way of Life’, a total home furnishing concept. The Concept Store in Amsterdam has already generated so much promotion and recognition that the time is ripe for an international Concept Store in Paris or London, and that is what we will focus on. To me that’s the ultimate dream. Ralph Lauren leads by example; what they do in the clothing industry, we want to do as a home furnishing concept.’

Interview: by Birgitta Veld

rivièra maison goes abroad

How long have you lived in Australia for? Fifteen years ago I emigrated and married an ‘Aussi’ whom I’d met during a trip to Vietnam. After having lived in the Netherlands for three years, we decided to settle in Australia on a permanent basis. We’ve lived in Melbourne for 10 years now, a multicultural city, where about a third of the local population wasn’t born in Australia!

How did you get into contact with Rivièra Maison? I’d seen those fabulous cabinets with inscription and asked myself what firm I could get this collection from. I came into contact with the Creative Director via a friend of mine, Brenda Koeman. She’s worked for Rivièra Maison for years and is the current manager of the Concept Store and friends with Nico Tijsen. After a visit to Aalsmeer, Nico and I compiled a small, yet interesting collection as a trial for the Australian market. Our first trade show was five years ago, in a modest stand of 3x3m! However, we did win the award for ‘Best Stand’ straight away!

What is the major difference between interiors in the Netherlands and Australia? The major difference is that most Dutch people like to clutter up their homes, full and cosy. The Australians are much more ‘frugal’ in terms of their interior and less ‘house proud’. When Australians visit our home they always think it is quite special. Dutch people are much braver in terms of colour schemes and certainly also more in tune with trends. When the ‘in’ thing in the Netherlands is having large elongated vases with orchids in the window sill, you will soon see that reflected when walking down the street. In Australia that is definitely not the case.

Is interior gaining ground in terms of importance? I can certainly see a rise in interest in terms of creating an inspiring and relaxed ‘home’. However, don’t forget that Australia, despite the fact of the sheer size of the continent, has only 20 million inhabitants with 9 million households. So the market is limited.

What Rivièra Maison products are most popular? Rustic rattan has been a hit from the very beginning, with the St. Malo chairs doing particularly well. The glasswork is also popular, the Santé, Vin Rouge and Vin Blanc glasses in particular.

What feature attracts you in Rivièra Maison? To me Rivièra Maison is not just a collection, but part of my life. It represents a relaxed lifestyle which I’m extremely comfortable with. I’m proud of how much we’ve grown in presenting this unique, continuously renewing collection in Australia and New Zealand. An extensive campaign with advertisements in magazines such as Vogue Living Australia and Home and Beautiful has certainly made a difference!

I believe a TV never compliments the home. This opinion is shared by many, as we have received frequent requests to come up with something for this. Therefore, we have designed this TV cabinet made of attractive louvered doors.
