#DITakeover on Instagram: Marije Vogelzang

Food, a musical swing and red stockings populated our Instagram account as “eating designer” Marije Vogelzang took over.

Tagging along with “eating experience designer” Marije Vogelzang is not exactly dull work. The curator of  of the widly successful Eat Shit presentation by Design Academy Eindhoven for this year’s Milan Design Week and one of Fast Company’s 100 Most Creative People in Business 2015, Vogelzang treated us to a lively, thought-provoking and fun trip when she took over the Design Indaba Instagram account last week.

We thought we’d get a week in Amsterdam with Vogelzang but she took us to Montréal, Canada where, wearing bright red stockings and a blue-blue dress, she spoke at C2, the international business conference.

The most memorable moment? When she captured a beautifully poached egg that resembled a meringue and tagged it as only a foodie would: “#poachedeggsareheaven”.  Or when she proposed the idea of saffron honey. It’s a tough choice.

Check our IG account for more images from Vogelzang’s takeover. This week the #DITakeover goes to the Italian duo behind Netherlands-based Studio Formafantasma.
