Loraine is an Amsterdam-based designer. She is prominently known for her minimalist styling, photography, and also for making beautiful fabric creations – even her packaging is very simple and stripped down to the basics.
Her blog Grijs, with its very simple and clean design, is where she showcases her work, process and inspirations. Even her post titles are reduced to symbols and characters that reflect feelings and thoughts.
For me, navigating her website is always a fresh, calming experience and the virtual equivalent of an open, airy, light-filled room.

Thanks for the pointer, interesting site design.
Would’ve been better if the site was “lighter” (takes a while for all the pics to load), and not require a minimum browser width (I even need to scroll left/right on a 11″ Air).
