The architect Herman Hertzberger (b. 1932) is the most important representative of Dutch Structuralism. This movement, which emerged in 1960, is highly regarded in modern architecture and takes as ist starting point an archetypal behaviour of humankind. Consequently, buildings must satisfy both the individual and the social needs of those who use them: architecture must be “inviting”. Hertzberger gained international recognition for his office buildings, schools and housing estates created between 1968 and 1990. In addition to fair-faced concrete and glass, they make use above all of precast concrete blocks, a “poor” construction material which contributes to their unique character. The Munich-based architectural photographer Klaus Kinold has focused on Hertzberger’s masterpieces from a very early stage; his masterful pictures are also of historical value because some of the buildings have since undergone changes.

Embrace abundance in every room of the house with this unapologetically exuberant guide to maximalist decor from interior designer Sasha Bikoff, featuring stunning photographs of the fantastic and inspired homes she creates.
“Maximalism isn’t about excess for its own sake. It’s about intensity. Atmosphere. World-building. Each space is designed to transport you—to tell a story, spark a feeling, or pull you into a moment that lives outside the ordinary. It’s a little like falling in love.”
Step into a world of curated excess, where every project begins with a feeling. High Vibe Design invites you to explore the art of creating vibrant, eclectic interiors that tell deeply personal and transformative stories. Whether it's the specific vibe of 1970s Italian modern meets gritty 2000s or the blend of Marie Antoinette and Studio 54, each design is a celebration of individuality.
Sasha Bikoff’s bold design perspective brings together colors, textures, patterns, and objects to create balanced and yet wildly imaginative interiors that embrace the joy of living fully. From a hallway lacquered in marigold and bedecked with a mirrored ceiling, to sculptural drawer pulls cast from megalodon teeth, to a color drenched living room in a hypnotic deep-blue palette that goes from floor to ceiling, Sasha weaves her intensity into every detail of the spaces she designs.
In High Vibe Design, she delves into her process of layering meaning, building suspense, and creating rhythm and tension within a space to bring a next-level vibe to any room. Filled with photographs of her incredible spaces, her personal tips and tricks, and key design takeaways, it's a guide to maximalist homes infused with meaning, not just crammed with stuff. Whether you're a designer, a collector, or simply looking for dopamine-infused inspiration, High Vibe Design will unlock an entirely new way to think about interiors. Lees meer
