    Geschiedenis van de veehandel en veemarkten in Friesland

    Met een ferme handslag en een krachtig uitgesproken GELOK (geluk) accepteert een Friese veehandelaar het bod van een koper. De koop is gesloten. Zo is het eeuwenlang gegaan.
    De veehandel in Friesland is al vele generaties belangrijk voor families die er hun brood in verdienen en draagt wezenlijk bij aan de regionale welvaart. Dit rijk geïllustreerde boek toont het roemrijke verleden van de Friese veehandel en veemarkten. Naast aandacht voor de economische en sociale aspecten, de infrastructuur en logistiek, sluit het boek af met de boeiende geschiedenis van de familie Pilat, een geslacht van veehandelaren in Friesland.

  • Victor Horta and the Frison House in Brussels

    In the middle of the Lebeaustraat in Brussels, sandwiched between neo-Renaissance and neo-Gothic houses, stands an Art Nouveau jewel designed by Victor Horta: the Frison House. It was
    commissioned by Maurice Frison, a lawyer and friend of the architect, and was built in 1894-1895. Horta designed not only the house, but also all its furniture and decoration, right down to the smallest detail: from door handles to marble fireplaces, from mosaic floors to elegant banisters, from wall lamps to the gratings for the cellar openings. The absolute eyecatcher is the winter garden, whose elegant design allows soft yellow light to flow subtly into its perfectly proportioned space.

    Nupur Tron is the author of this book and owner of the house. In recent years, she has breathed new life back into Horta’s masterpiece. She pieced together bits of the old chandeliers she found in one of the cellars. She had items of furniture designed by Horta lovingly restored. With great passion, she continues to search for the funds that will allow her to restore the entire house to its former glory, one step at a time.

    Horta and the Frison House in Brussels is an ode to the architect and his creation.

    Nupur Tron is from India. She studied Design, Marketing & Merchandising and Fine Arts at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She designs jewellery, in which the different styles of east and west meet in harmony.
