Diving into Amsterdam’s design scene, Slanted ventures into the captivating capital of the Netherlands, revealing its creative marvels in our latest 41st issue. Our quest for inspiration brought us to the extraordinary Irma Boom, a warm and remarkable artist, graciously opening the doors of her creative sanctuary.
