This crowned hunk with wooden shoes was calling me when I passed.
I entered the former public library, now transformed into a fancy boutique hotel in Amsterdam, and found him again in the garden.
And there were even two of them!
The designer Marcel Wanders is responsible for the interior and the decorations of this hotel.
It is hard to believe that once here were bookcases with thousands of books!
Very original, of course.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenTomás.
Very unusual images...the caller. What was he calling for? Love those chandeliers in the interior, and you are right....who could imagine it was once a library?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenAs a foreigner, I'm not sure who or what this "hunk" is. Wonder what happened to all the books?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOf course he is, come back he cries, come back! Your photos are incredible, what a wonder sight to see and capture!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI would love to know the story behind the calling figures. Amazing chandeliers!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenPlease enlighten us with the history or story of the caller "hunk" - I do not know this except he looks magical. Thank you - just lovely.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt is art, there is no story, you just enjoy it.
VerwijderenAnd why does he wear a crown, I would like to know!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDie klompen zijn verrassend.. Blote voeten zou mijn keuze zijn denk ik..
BeantwoordenVerwijderenooooh, funny!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderennice sculpture and i also like the lamps
Let's see, he's wearing no shirt, wooden shoes, what looks like pyjama pants, and a crown. Did the subject of these sculptures lose a bet?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGood shots!
I'm always amazed at the reuse of buildings in Holland and the art work that goes along with it. Beautiful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDearest Marianne,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIndeed, one wonders where all the library books went... Quite a change!
What a great idea that guy, wearing a crown and wooden shoes and calling after or for someone.
Hugs,
Mariette
The library books went to a brand new modern public library building which is very beautiful.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLeuk ook dat kijkje in het hotel.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenFantastic! (Both this and the fact that the books got a nice new home:)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLOVELY !!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLove the 'calling' statue and the reflection in the 1st shot. Have a wonderful weekend.
