about langzaam leven

Calm you keeplooking at

Langzaam Leven is about attention for what surrounds you. For colour, light, material, and things that are not only beautiful but do something to a room.

Els in the studio, among her work

about els schram

A lifetime of looking,making andcollecting.

What now comes together in Langzaam Leven did not begin in a studio. It has long been there in the way Els Schram looks at colour, houses, gardens, materials and the things around her.

Els has always made, collected and composed. In fashion, as a craft teacher, among old finds from France and Belgium, and later in the houses and gardens she shaped. The form changed, her eye stayed the same: for natural colours, weathered materials, good light and things that do not have to be perfect. In her studio she prefers to work without a fixed plan. She starts somewhere, adds, takes away and looks again. Until it is right.
