Mariska and I started our respective adventures into new businesses around the same time – her as an artist and me as a freelancer – and have supported one another since day one. I’ve enjoyed writing about her work right here on the blog before; I travelled to Amsterdam to shoot her apartment for the Bright.Bazaar book (worth getting to see her amazing hot pink kitchen alone!); and Mariska travelled to the Balearic Islands last summer as a guest at our wedding. So I’m excited to once again feature Mariska’s bright, bold and original works on Bright.Bazaar today. The spotlight is on her French Blue Cubism table which now sits in my office.
The tray is the perfect spot to house a vase full of my first bunch of daffodils this year! I love daffodils so much and so I try to have a bunch in the house for the majority of the season that the are in bloom. It turns out that the blue and yellow colours of the tray are a perfect fit to pair them with – hurrah!
The graphic cubism pattern of Mariska’s design doesn’t just pair well with the daffodils, but with my striped rug, too. What do you think of this new addition to my home, folks?

Looks fabulous! Mariska did a custom-made lampshade for me in the same pattern. She is so talented!
@Tara – Right?! Such a talent. Your custom piece sounds wonderful!
Love this table. The pattern and colours are fab! Plus what a great idea i.e. tray table!!
I definitely want to check out Mariska’s work 🙂

@Emma – Mariska is a true talent when it comes to combining colour and pattern. Definitely look at more of her work!
Thank you Will for featuring my design. Your pictures do so much justice to it!
@Mariska – My pleasure! Thanks for being so inspiring! x
It looks fabulous and fits in so well with your sofa and lamp! I love Mariska’s sense of colour.
@Lana – Thank you! I do too! 🙂
That’s the perfect table to brighten up any room, especially this time of year!
@TKG – Yes! It brings so much vibrance to the space.
I love Mariska’s designs. Always so happy looking. I want one of her paintings but I think my budget is more like a tray table!
p.s. Loving the specs.x
@Mariska – A tray table is equally as fabulous – I say: go for it! 🙂 x
I love Mariska Meijers work! Sold her trays and stationary in my shop. I would love to see her shop in Amsterdam someday.
@Anchor Cottage – I haven’t seen her new space in person but it looks fantastic! 🙂
I think its a great addition. Its a genius idea whilst adding a vibrant punch to the space. Every room needs an eye catching feature piece don’t you think? The whole space looks so fresh and spring like, its lovely (especially on this grey wet day)
@Chichic furniture – Yes, 100% they do! Thanks for the kind words.
