The special ones
Limited editions
Sitting nude
Sitting naked without any shame. For me, that is the pinnacle of feeling comfortable. The body is a great source of inspiration for me, because it is also the closest to me. After all, I carry it with me all the time. The design has a feminine shape, although it does not nescessarily have to represent a woman. This design represents your own body , in all its comfort and monumental, landscape character.
Flowergazing
The design touches on another level of contact: the intimacy we have with our environment, how we can feel connected to a place by witnessing it, as we see ourselves. For me, observing nature and all life around me calms me. It brings me a sense of depth in the moment and I wanted to capture that in this design.

Meet... Loutje Hoekstra.
This 29-year-old self-taught artist discovered her passion for drawing while studying biology. “I am expressive and have the need to express something of my inner world. I can do that best in images, with paint or ink.” She recorded everything she learned about (especially nature) in scribbles. This gave rise to the 'game' of drawing from 1 line. “The great thing about that is that you have to quickly grasp the essence of what you are drawing. I thought that was a very nice way to capture and study the nature around it and to add emotion to the drawing.” Loutje's style can mainly be defined as fluid, figurative and not too literal..
Creative vision on panels
Development, warmth and comfort. That is what Loutje wanted to radiate with her designs and what of course fits perfectly with the heating panels. The designs are diverse; from a minimalist to a somewhat busier image. Each design has a different message and meaning. Yet you can see her characteristic, soft, but fresh style in every panel.
