Amsterdam Museum Quarter
has long been a cultural hotspot,
attracting visitors from far-fung
destinations for decades. Like a
fne wine, the area has only got
better with age, and now plays
host to the Rijksmuseum, the
Concertgebouw concert hall and
the luxurious retail delights of PC
Hooftstraat. There has never been
a better time to take advantage of
the area’s many varied attractions.
This year is a particularly
pertinent time to visit, as 2015
Previous page: the impressive Rijksmuseum
44 | F E AT U R E S
marks the 125th anniversary of the
death of Vincent van Gogh, one
of the country’s most celebrated
artists. Amsterdam’s Van Gogh
Museum will be holding two high-
profle exhibitions in his honour to
commemorate the date.
The frst celebrates the
artist’s letter-writing – van Gogh
was a prolifc correspondent,
particularly with his brother Theo.
The When I Give, I Give Myself
exhibition invites modern artists
to respond to his letters with a
letter, poem or artwork. The
collection, which includes pieces
by Anish Kapoor, Wouter Venema
and Christian Jankowski, is on
display until 17 January 2016.
Autumn sees the opening of
the Munch: Van Gogh exhibition.
On display from 25 September, the
collection explores the similarities
between the two contemporaries’
works. In addition, the museum
will unveil its new entrance
building this September – a suitably
impressive new space for these two
standout shows.
Amsterdam’s cultural
attractions continue at the
Rijksmuseum. The museum has
undergone extensive restoration
work over the past 10 years,
preserving PJH Cuypers’ original
architecture and launching a new
area, the Philips Wing, in 2014.
Collection highlights include
Rembrandt’s The Night Watch
and works by the Dutch masters of
the Golden Age, such as Vermeer
and Frans Hals.
This autumn, don’t miss
the museum’s Dick Bruna
exhibition, which runs until 15
November 2015, which explains
how Mify, his internationally
renowned cartoon rabbit, came
to be. The Asia in Amsterdam
show is another fascinating
attraction, showcasing 170
objects from India, China and

Taking inspiration from ancient Eastern traditions, Rituals Cosmetics is dedicated to celebrating the little things in life. Verity Hogan meets the company’s CEO Raymond Cloosterman
‘Rituals was a hobby that
got out of control’: Raymond
Cloosterman’s rather modest
assessment of the luxury lifestyle
company he created in 2000 is
something of an understatement.
In the 15 years since its inception,
Rituals Cosmetics has developed
an impressive product range, with
everything from body and facial
products to scented candles and
perfumes, and even a washing-up
liquid. The company now has
more than 400 standalone stores
around the world, is stocked in
over 1,200 luxury department
stores and perfumeries, and is the
toiletry brand of choice for more
than 900 hotels and many airlines.
The company’s products
take inspiration from Eastern
traditions, and are designed to
help people rediscover the magic
of the everyday. ‘We’re living life
on autopilot and we’ve forgotten
what it is to enjoy the little things,’
Cloosterman explains. ‘There’s a
strong need, on a global basis, for
people to bring back these small
moments of happiness during the
day and to make them take a step
back for a minute.’
SHOP | 49

50 | F E AT U R E S
Before launching Rituals
Cosmetics, Cloosterman spent
13 years climbing the corporate
ladder at Unilever, where he
occupied a series of high-profle
positions. It was while he was
looking for new business insights
that the idea for Rituals Cosmetics
struck: ‘As a result of this three-
month journey I came back
completely hyper with many new
ideas – I was so enthusiastic that
I decided to resign and start my
own cosmetics brand. Some of
the insights from that journey still
impact on the brand today.’
Every product in Rituals
Cosmetics’ extensive range has a
story to tell. Cloosterman and his
team travel extensively to discover
ancient rituals from Eastern
cultures, which then inspire
their perfumers and developers
to create product lines that are
relevant to modern life. Take the
Tao line, for example, which is
based on the Chinese idea of yin
and yang and is designed to bring
tranquillity to hectic modern lives.
‘We’re so connected these days,
we’re working 24/7, we’re available
24/7, that people are looking for
ways to escape from that,’ says
Cloosterman of the collection.
‘Silence is the new luxury.’
At the moment, Cloosterman’s
favourite line is the masculine
Samurai. It’s inspired by the
pre-battle rituals of the Japanese
emperors’ elite soldiers, who were
expected to look immaculate
before any fght. ‘There are a
few very innovative products in
there that I love,’ Cloosterman
52 | FEATURES
Above (from top): the Rituals store in Zwolle; the brand’s Samurai Magic Shave cream
and the growing trend towards
mindfulness and wellbeing.
‘There’s an increasing need to
create a safe place for yourself,
to escape from the pressures to
perform as a mother, a manager,
a friend,’ Cloosterman agrees.
He fnds an escape in travel – ‘I
love to travel, I love to explore,
I’m curious’ – and recent trips
have seen him fnd inspiration in
Thailand, get away from it all on a
family trip to the Idaho wilderness
and speed through the streets of
Paris on the back of a motor taxi.
Even so, Cloosterman’s passion
for work always brings him back
and he fnds the creative side of
his role especially thrilling. ‘It’s an
amazing process, very rewarding,’
he explains. ‘It starts with a cup of
tea at the kitchen table and a year
or so later there’s a beautiful range
of products.’
Cloosterman admits that
the company spent some
years nurturing the brand and
improving its products and
concept before it found its niche,
but in the past seven years it has
enthuses. One such is a three-
in-one shaving cream that is
unusually rich, hydrating and
soothing: ‘It’s my shaving secret!’
Rituals Cosmetics has wide
appeal, attracting old and
young, men and women alike.
‘I wanted to create a brand that
had nothing to do with the old-
fashioned way of segmentation,
of trying to put people in a box,’
Cloosterman explains. ‘It’s more
about trying to speak to people
with a certain mindset – they’re
very critical in terms of quality
but they treasure life and like to
enjoy the little things.’
It’s a philosophy that fts
well with modern lifestyles PH

been gaining international traction
and expanding every day; on
average the company opens one
or two stores a week in locations
around the world. ‘We’re growing
by word of mouth, friends telling
friends – that’s how we became
successful across Europe,’ he
notes. ‘When people discover us,
we try to surprise them in terms of
quality of design and fragrance so
that they become addicted!’
The company, often described
as a young brand with an old
soul, looks set to continue to
grow and thrive. ‘There are a lot
of paradoxes in the concept that
makes people fall in love with the
brand,’ Cloosterman concedes.
‘The paradox of old stories and
new technologies, of East and
West, of the very exclusive and
yet accessible – all of these things
come together.’

TABLE TALK
There’s a lot more to Holland’s culinary scene than traditional wafes, as Sally
McIlhone fnds out
56 | E X PE R I E NCE
stews or stamppot of potatoes,
vegetables and meat, or warming
soups including Erwtensoep, a very
thick pea soup, are traditional
home-cooked staples.
However, the country’s
restaurants are also no stranger
to international infuences and
the best of the bunch deftly
incorporate the region’s supply
of fantastic natural produce with
exotic and exciting global favours.
Traditional Dutch food is often
characterised for its simplicity.
The country is known for mild,
nutty cheeses such as Gouda and
Edam, as well as its pofertjes, a
smaller, fufer and arguably more
delicious version of a pancake
made with buckwheat four. Then
there’s the stroopwafel, a typical
Dutch snack, a moreish cross
between a wafe and a biscuit
that’s flled with caramel. Simple

The Duchess, located in the new
W Amsterdam hotel in the former

by the grandeur and beauty of
the belle époque. The spacious
entrance hall comes complete
with a stained-glass ceiling, black
marble details and handmade
foor tiles, which sets the scene
for the restaurant’s dramatic and
glamorous interior. The menu
focuses on southern French and
Italian favours: think seabass
carpaccio with olive oil and cress;
Dover sole meunière; and Sicilian
lemon pie with citrus salad.

Hotel Okura holds the distinction
of being the only hotel in Holland to
receive Michelin awards for each of
its restaurants. Ciel Bleu holds two
of the coveted Michelin stars, the
traditional Japanese-style Yamazato
and teppanyaki eatery Sazanka have
one apiece, and Serre was awarded
a Bib Gourmand. Gourmets will
be seriously impressed by Ciel
Bleu, both for the views from
its 23rd-foor location and chef
Onno Kokmeijer’s fantastic food.
The menu changes regularly;
expect internationally infuenced
dishes such as Japanese wagyu
beef with shallot or king crab
with Baerii caviar, beurre blanc
and preserved lemon.

The Penthouse, situated on the
42nd foor of the Hague Tower,
is Holland’s highest restaurant
and bar, with spectacular views
from the dining room. Chef Bart
Middendorp ensures the food is
equally worthy of attention with
signature dishes such as seared
tuna with sesame, poppy seed,
ginger and soy or lobster broth
fragrant with safron and fennel.
Oferings such as dark chocolate
mousse with fve spices, mango,
passionfruit and coconut ice
cream mean that skipping dessert
is certainly not an option.

restaurant, showroom, studio,
juice bar and event space.

spread across three foors and is
designed to give creatives, young
professionals and interesting
start-ups a platform. As a result

nibble of choice – while in
Rotterdam. These deep-fried
savoury snacks, typically flled
with meat, are traditionally
served with plenty of mustard.

JOHANNES
Run by a young chef whose
exceptional dishes belie
his years, Johannes ofers
a memorable culinary
experience. The signature dish
of pork belly, king prawn and
carrot is the highlight – the
combination of favours is
a symphony on the palette.
There are other reasons to wax
lyrical about Johannes: the
canalside location, the small but
perfectly formed dining room,
the exceptional service and one
gourmet surprise in particular
that we wouldn’t want to spoil
by revealing. Sufce to say, this
is a meal you’ll remember for
years to come.

1. Ice skating
The locals have long enjoyed skating
along the city’s frozen canals in win-
tertime. If the temperatures don’t drop
enough for that, visit the picturesque
skating rink next to the Rijksmuseum.
Ice Amsterdam, Museumplein, 1071 LN Amsterdam, iceamsterdam.nl
* for map go to page 82
2. Gallery hopping
If you’re in the mood for visiting galleries,
the Jordaan district is the place to go.
The neighbourhood is a hive of artistic
activity, with galleries such as Eduard
Planting, Galerie Fons Welters, Torch
and Stigter van Doesburg offering plenty
of creative food for thought.
3. Café spotting
Amsterdam is not short of wonderfully
old-fashioned and atmospheric cafés,
which are the perfect place to hide out
on a grey winter’s day. Café Americain
has been open since 1902 and is worth
visiting for its art nouveau interior alone.
Take your pick from the reading table,
stacked with magazines and newspa-
pers, and settle in.
Café Americain, Leidsekade 97, 1017 PN Amsterdam, +31 (0)20 556 3010, cafeamericain.nl

THRIFT SHOP
Thrift Shop combines a concept
store, second-hand store and
vintage market in one. The
premise is that designers and
brands can rent a ‘cabinet’ in
the store for a week and Thrift
Shop will sell their products on
their behalf. As a result, there
are always up-and-coming
brands to be discovered, making
every visit even more interesting
for its customers. In addition,
designers are encouraged
to donate any unsold pieces
of clothing to the local food
bank, thereby supporting
less fortunate members of
the community.

Wooden Shoes, how are they made?
Wooden shoes have been worn in Holland for more than a 1000
years and not only are they still being worn today, but over a million
pairs are still made and sold each year. A unique collection of clogs
is on display in our Clog Museum, giving additional insight into the
historical tradition of this fascinating footwear. Visit our Workshop
for a demonstration, try some on, take photo’s and browse around.
What a great way to experience historic Holland!

Идеальное место
РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД Concertgebouw и роскошные бутики
PC Hoofstraat. Пожалуй, это самое
подходящее время насладиться
многообразными возможностями
этого места.
Более того, 2015 год ознаменован
125-летней годовщиной со дня
смерти Винсента Ван Гога –
одного из самых значительных и
прославленных художников этой
страны. К этой дате приурочено две
высококлассные выставки в Музее
Ван Гога в Амстердаме. Одна из них
посвящена письмам: Ван Гог состоял
в активной переписке, особенно
со своим братом Тео. В рамках
проекта When I Give, I Give Myself
современные художники ответили
на его письма – эпистолярными
текстами, стихотворениями или

Амстердама, который славится

Музейный квартал Амстердама
– признанный культурный центр
Нидерландов, который не одно
десятилетие привлекает гостей
из самых разных стран. Подобно
хорошему вину, с годами он
становится только лучше. Сейчас
для путешественников открыты

живописными произведениями. В
числе участников – Аниш Капур,
Воутер Венема и Кристиан Янковский.
Выставка будет работать до 17
января 2016. А 25 сентября откроется
экспозиция Munch: Van Gogh. Она
исследует творческий диалог двух
современников – Мунка и Ван
Гога. Кроме того, в сентябре музей
презентует обновленную входную
группу – весьма впечатляющее
пространство, с которого начинается
знакомство с этими художественными
проектами.
Невозможно пройти мимо
музея Rijksmuseum – одного из
крупнейших в столице. За последние
10 лет он претерпел значительную
реконструкцию, сохранив при этом
оригинальное архитектурное решение
Питера Кейперса. Кроме того, в 2014
году для посетителей открылось
совершенно новое пространство
Philips Wing. В коллекции музея
содержатся знаменитые шедевры:
«Ночной дозор» Рембрандта и
произведения художников Золотого
века Голландии – Вермеера, Франса
Халса и других.
Особого внимания достойна
выставка Дика Бруна, которая
продлится до 15 ноября 2015 года: там
вы узнаете, откуда и как появился
его знаменитый анимационный
персонаж – кролик Миффи. Также
в залах музея разместился проект
«Азия» (Asia): эта экспозиция
объединяет 170 предметов из Индии,
Китая и Японии – словом, завоевания
Золотого века Голландии.
Вдохновившись творчеством
нидерландских мастеров, стоит
познакомиться и с искусством
моды. Для этого отправимся в
бутики на бульваре PC Hoofstraat.
Минувшим летом на улице провели
косметический ремонт, и теперь она
готова принимать новых посетителей.
Мы рекомендуем уделить время
бутику Blue Blood и необычным
новинкам денима. Например, для
создания инновационной коллекции
Dry Goods не используется вода. Это
дает интересный эффект: изначально
одинаковые джинсы со временем
становятся непохожими друг на друга.
Дело в том, что каждый владелец
носит их по-своему, и это отражается
на изменениях в ткани.
В бутике Jaeger-LeCoultre
представлены швейцарские часы
высочайшего качества. В числе самых
впечатляющих новинок 2015 года –
Master Grande Tourbillon Cylindrique
из белого золота и Duomètre à
Quantième Lunaire. Поклонникам
ювелирных украшений придется
по вкусу широкий ассортимент
в Schaap en Citroen. Браслеты с
бриллиантами Shamballa Jewels, яркие
кольца Pomellato и нестареющие
подвески Chopard в форме сердца
– вне зависимости от возраста и
предпочтений, каждый найдет здесь
что-нибудь по душе. Превосходные
обручальные кольца с бриллиантами
предлагает Coster Diamonds. Эта
компания владеет одной из старейших
операционных алмазных фабрик в
Европе, основанной в 1840 году. àам
можно побывать в рамках бесплатной
экскурсии, чтобы посмотреть, как
ювелиры и огранщики придают
форму камням, добытым в самых
разных точках мира. В итоге,
покупатели могут выбирать среди
множества видов огранок и оправ.
Эти бриллиантовые украшения
93
будут особенно хороши с
комплектом из новой коллекции
Dior. К сезону осень/зима 2015/16
бренд приготовил восхитительный
красный костюм с укороченными
брюками, разнообразные мини-
платья с узорами, нетривиальные
комбинезоны и яркие шерстяные
пальто. Креативный директор
марки Раф Симонс сумел привнести
современную интонацию в
проверенный временем французский
модный дом, и новая коллекция
полностью отражает эту эстетику.
Завершить день знакомства с
Музейным кварталом можно ужином
в ресторане Taiko. Шеф-повар Шило
Ван Куворден создал необычное меню
в азиатском стиле, включив в него
суши, димсамы и сашими, а также
восхитительную вагю-говядину
на гриле. После трапезы загляните
на концерт в Concertgebouw.
Здесь на сцену поднимаются
профессиональные исполнители
из разных стран, исполняющие
классическую музыку величайших
композиторов. Произведения
Моцарта, Баха и Брамса – это только
часть репертуара этой осени и зимы.
Музейный квартал Амстердама
совмещает в себе возможности
культурного досуга, роскошного
шоппинга и изысканной трапезы. И
столь сбалансирование сочетание
делает это место обязательaным для
посещения.

48: Simple Pleasures
Простые Удовольствия
Вдохновленная старинными
восточными традициями марка
Rituals Cosmetics призывает
радоваться жизненным мелочам.
Верити Хоган берет интервью у главы
компании – Раймонда Клостермана
Rituals было моим хобби, которое со
временем переросло в нечто большее»,
– рассказывает Раймонд Клостерман
о своей компании роскошной
продукции, которую он открыл в 2000
году. За 15 лет своего существования
марке Rituals Cosmetics удалось
разработать широкий продуктовый
ряд, где можно найти все, от
косметики по уходу за телом и лицом
до ароматизированных свечей,
парфюмерии и даже средства для
мытья посуды. Сегодня компания
имеет розничную сеть из 400
магазинов по всему миру, кроме
того ее продукция представлена
в 1200 роскошных универмагах и
парфюмерных магазинах, а также
используется в более чем 900 отелях и
многих авиакомпаниях.
Источником вдохновения для
бренда служат старинные восточные
традиции, а продукция призвана
помочь людям заново открыть для
себя чудеса повседневности. «Мы
живем как будто на автопилоте и
совершенно забыли, что значит
радоваться самому малому, –
поясняет Клостерман. – Многим
людям в нашем мире недостает таких
моментов радости, когда они могут
просто оставить все свои дела и
оглянуться вокруг себя».
Перед тем как открыть Rituals
globalblue.com

мне очень нравятся», – делится
Клостерман. Речь идет о креме для
бритья три в одном, отличающимся
насыщенностью, способностью
увлажнять и успокаивать кожу: «Это
мой секрет для бритья!».
Продукция Rituals Cosmetics
популярна среди молодых и
взрослых, среди мужчин и женщин.
«Мне хотелось создать бренд,
который не будет иметь ничего
общего с устаревшим методом
сегментации рынка, накладывающей
на людей определенные рамки, –
поясняет Клостерман. – Это скорее
попытка завоевать доверие людей с
современным мышлением, которые
довольно критичны в отношении
качества товара, но в то же время
ценят жизнь и любят радоваться
простым вещам».
Это своего рода философия,
которая отлично укладывается
в представления о современном
укладе жизни, а также набирающая
популярность тенденция к
самоосознанности и благополучию.
«В мире существует растущая
потребность к поиску безопасного
места, где можно будет укрыться от
того давления, которое оказывает
на нас наша социальная роль – будь-
то роль матери, начальника или
друга», – считает Клостерман. Свое
убежище он находит в путешествиях:
«Мне нравится путешествовать,
исследовать, познавать». Последние
поиски вдохновения помогли ему
побывать в Таиланде, съездить с
семьей в отпуск по диким просторам
Айдахо и проехаться на такси по
парижским улицам.
Увлеченность работой всегда
приносит Клостерману свои плоды,
Cosmetics, Клостерман провел 13 лет,
поднимаясь по карьерной лестнице
в Unilever, где ему приходилось
занимать ряд крупных должностей.
Идея создания Rituals Cosmetics
пришла внезапно, во время поиска
нового бизнес-направления:
«После одной из продолжительных
командировок я вернулся полный
идей и энтузиазма, и решил уволиться
со своей должности и основать свой
косметический бренд. Некоторые
идеи, которые я почерпнул в том
путешествии, до сих пор оказывают
влияние на мой бизнес».
Каждый из продуктов Rituals
Cosmetics имеет свою историю.
Клостерман и его сотрудники часто
путешествуют, изучая старинные
ритуалы восточных культур, а затем
применяют полученные знания для
разработки современных линий
парфюмерии и косметики. Например,
коллекция Tao, основанная на
принципе Инь и Ян, призвана внести
спокойствие в бурную повседневную
жизнь. «Сегодня мы постоянно на
связи, мы работаем 24 часа семь дней
в неделю, в любой момент нам могут
позвонить и мы обязаны ответить,
поэтому люди постепенно пытаются
найти пути выхода из сложившейся
ситуации, – говорит Клостерман. –
Тишина – это новая роскошь».
В настоящий момент своим
фаворитом Клостерман считает
мужскую линию Samurai. Ее
создание вдохновили ритуалы,
проводившиеся перед поединками
японских самураев, которые должны
были выглядеть безукоризненно
перед сражением. «В этой
серии представлено несколько
инновационных продуктов, которые
95
но особое удовольствие дарит
творческая сторона профессии. «Это
удивительный процесс, приносящий
внутреннее удовлетворение, –
поясняет он. – Все начинается с
чашки чая на кухне, а год спустя перед
нами лежит удивительная серия
продукции».
Клостерман признает, что у
компании ушло несколько лет
на совершенствование бренда,
концепции и ассортимента
продукции, прежде чем она нашла
свою нишу, а за последние семь
лет компания сумела завоевать
немало поклонников по всему миру,
ежедневно расширяя свой бизнес; в
среднем компания открывает один
или два магазина в разных странах
мира. «Про нас узнают благодаря
“сарафанному радио” – друзья
рассказывают друзьям, именно так
мы стали успешными в Европе, –
замечает он. – Когда люди узнают
про нас, мы стараемся удивить их
качеством дизайна и аромата, так
чтобы они навсегда стали нашими
поклонниками!».
Компанию часто называют
молодым брендом со старой душой,
и, похоже, она не перестает расти и
совершенствоваться. «Существует
много парадоксального в том, что
заставляет людей полюбить наш
бренд, – считает Клостерман. –
Это парадокс древних историй и
новейших технологий, Востока и
Запада, эксклюзивности и в то же
время доступности – все здесь имеет
значение».

在联合利华攀登事业阶梯，在那里他
曾担任过诸多要职。某日当他正思索
新的商业卖点时突然想到了Rituals
Cosmetics的理念：“作为那三个月旅
行的成果，我带回了许多振奋人心的
想法——这让我如此激动，以至于决
定辞职并开创自己的美容品牌。那次
旅途中获得的灵感时至今日依然对这
个品牌产生影响。”
Rituals Cosmetics庞大系列
中的每款单品都有其背后的故
事。Cloosterman和他的团队走南闯
北，寻找东方文化中的古老仪式，品
牌调香师与开发人员受之启发，创造
出适用于当代生活的产品线。以Tao
系列为例，这个以中国的阴阳为灵感
的系列，诞生于为忙碌现代生活带来
几分宁静的愿景。“现代生活如此熙
熙攘攘，人们一周工作七天，一周七
天都在线，所以开始寻找逃避的方
式，”Cloosterman如此介绍这个系
列。“沉静成为新的奢侈。”
当下，Cloosterman最喜爱的产
品线是充满阳刚气息的Samurai（武
士）系列。其灵感来自于日本天皇精
锐部队的战前仪式，他们在每场战斗
前都要求自己看起来完美无暇。“这
个系列中有几款我非常钟爱的创意单
品，”Cloosterman兴奋地补充。其中
一款是集滋润、补水与舒缓为一体的
超级三合一剃须膏：“这是我的剃须
秘诀！”
Rituals Cosmetics受众面广
泛，吸引着男女老少所有人。“我想
创造出与过去那种试图将人们装
进盒子的市场细分截然无关的品
牌，”Cloosterman解释道。“我更倾
向于吸引具有某种心境的人群——他
们对品质非常挑剔，但他们热爱生命，
享受生活中的细微点滴。”
这个理念与现代生活方式，以
及人们对正念与福祉的日益关注不
谋而合。“人们越来越渴求为自己
寻找一处安全的庇护所，从履行母
从古老东方传统中汲取灵感的Rituals
Cosmetics，热衷于颂扬生活中的微
小事物。Verity Hogan采访了公司首
席执行官Raymond Cloosterman
“Rituals始于个人爱好，结果一发不
可收拾”：Raymond Cloosterman谦
逊地描述这个由自己创立于2000年的
奢华生活方式品牌，显得格外轻描淡
写。然而在成立后的15年间，Rituals
Cosmetics已经发展出令人叫绝的
产品系列，从身体与面部护理产品到
芳香蜡烛与香氛等包罗万象，甚至包
括洗碗液。公司如今在全球设有超过
400家独立门店，并在1200多间奢
侈百货公司与香氛店有售，也是超过
900家酒店与许多航空公司钦点的个
人护理品牌。
公司产品从古代东方传统中获取灵
感，旨在帮助人们重新发现日常生活中
的小幸福。“我们生活在高速运转的
社会中，已经忘记了去享受生活中的
细微点滴，”Cloosterman解释道。“全
世界的人们都拥有这种强烈的渴望，
就是找回这些微小的幸福时刻，从生
活中后退一步松弛一会儿。”
在推出Rituals Cosmetics品牌
之前，Cloosterman花了13年时间

亲、经理、朋友等角色的压力中逃
脱，”Cloosterrman深表赞同。他自
己在旅行中寻找出口——“我热爱旅
行，热爱探索，我充满好奇，”——他
最近的旅程包括去泰国寻找灵感，去
爱达荷州荒野进行抛开一切的家庭之
旅，以及坐在出租摩托车上飞驰于巴
黎的街道之间。
即便如此， Cloosterman对工作
的热情总会让他如期归来，他工作中
的创意部分令他最为振奋。“这是一个
了不起的过程，让我非常有收获，”他
解释。 “这个过程从厨房桌上的一杯
茶开始，一年后便诞生了一系列美妙非
凡的产品。”
Cloosterman承认，在找到自己的
独特定位之前，公司在培育品牌、改良
产品与理念上花费数年，然而在过去
七年中品牌的国际影响力与日俱增；
公司平均每周在全球开设一或两家门
店。“我们完全靠口碑增长，朋友间的
推荐—— 这就是我们在全欧洲获得
成功的秘诀，”他指出。“当人们尝试我
们的产品时，他们会从品质、设计与香
味上都获得惊喜，从而变得深陷其中
难以自拔！”
这个常被描述为拥有老迈灵魂的
年轻品牌，看似将继续茁壮成长。“我
们的理念中有许多悖论，人们正是因
此爱上了这个品牌。”Cloosterman
承认。“老的故事与新的科技，东方
的与西方的，独一无二又触手可及
的——所有这些都被融汇到一起。”

Dengan beraneka ragam atraksi
budaya, ditambah dengan
bulevar keren yang dijejeri
oleh para perancang mewah,
Museumsquartier di Amsterdam
merupakan salah satu distrik yang
wajib dikunjungi, seperti yang
dijelaskan Madeleine Murray-Lyons
Museumsquartier di Amsterdam
sejak lama sudah menjadi daerah
penting budaya, yang menarik
perhatian para pengunjung dari
berbagai penjuru selama beberapa
dasawarsa. Seperti halnya
minuman anggur yang semakin
tua akan semakin mantap rasanya,
daerah ini pun makin lama makin
bagus. Rijksmuseum, aula konser
Concertgebouw keseruan ritel mewah
di PC Hooftstraat semuanya ada di
sana. Mungkin belum pernah ada
waktu yang sebaik saat ini untuk
menikmati bermacam-macam atraksi
yang ditawarkan area itu.
Tahun ini khususnya adalah saat
yang tepat untuk berkunjung, karena
2015 merupakan tahun peringatan
125 tahun meninggalnya Vincent
van Gogh, salah satu seniman paling
dipuji negara itu. Museum Van Gogh
di Amsterdam akan mengadakan
dua pameran besar sebagai
penghormatan terhadap van Gogh
untuk mengenang kematian itu.
Pameran pertama merayakan
surat-surat yang ditulis seniman ini
– van Gogh merupakan penulis surat
yang produktif, terutama dengan
adiknya Theo. Pameran yang
bertajuk When I Give, I Give Myself
ini mengundang para artis modern
untuk membalas surat-suratnya
dengan surat, puisi atau karya seni.
Koleksi yang ditampilkan meliputi
karya Anish Kapoor, Wouter
Venema dan Christian Jankowski,
dan dipamerkan sampai tanggal 17
Januari 2016.
Pada musim gugur, pameran
Munch: Van Gogh akan dibuka.
Pameran yang akan dimulai pada
25 September ini akan menyajikan
koleksi yang menjelajahi kemiripan
di antara karya kedua seniman
sejawat ini. Selain itu, museum ini
juga akan membuka ruang pintu
masuk baru ke gedung tersebut pada
bulan September – ruang baru yang
sama mengagumkannya untuk dua
pameran istimewa ini.
Atraksi budaya Amsterdam juga
berlanjut ke Rijksmuseum. Dalam
10 tahun terakhir, museum ini sudah
melewati kerja pemugaran besar,
dengan tetap menjaga arsitektur asli
karya PJH Cuypers dan membuka
area baru bernama Philips Wing,
di tahun 2014. Koleksi yang
ditampilkan di sana antara lain The
Night Watch karya Rembrandt dan
karya-karya seniman besar Belanda
dari Zaman Keemasan, seperti
Vermeer dan Frans Hals.
Musim gugur ini, jangan sampai
ketinggalan pameran Dick Bruna di
museum ini, yang akan berlangsung
sampai 15 November 2015, serta
menjelaskan cara Mify, kartun
kelincinya yang terkenal secara
international, muncul. Pameran
Asia di Amsterdam merupakan
atraksi lain yang memesona, dengan
menampilkan 170 benda dari
India, Tiongkok dan Jepang yang
dikirimkan ke Belanda pada Zaman
Keemasan di abad ke-17.
Setelah mengagumi prestasi
101
artistik bakat-bakat kreatif terbaik
Belanda, tiba saatnya untuk
berinvestasi dalam seni barang
sandang di butik-butik yang
berjajar di PC Hooftstraat. Area
ini sudah dirombak perwajahannya
selama musim panas dan kini siap
menyambut para tamu baru.
Pertama-tama, kunjungilah
butik Blue Blood untuk memeriksa
perkembangan terbaru di dunia
denim perancang. Koleksi Dry
Goods yang inovatif dibuat
tanpa menggunakan air, yang
menghasilkan jins yang menua
dengan indah – dan tidak ada dua
yang sama karena masing-masing
pemilik denim menciptakan sendiri
pola pemakaian sendiri yang unik.
Kunjungan berikutnya ke Jaeger-
LeCoultre, tempat Anda dapat
menemukan pilihan penunjuk waktu
buatan Swiss yang luar biasa. Dua
dari desain baru paling menakjubkan
untuk tahun 2015 adalah Master
Grande Tourbillon Cylindrique
dengan emas putih dan Duomètre à
Quantième Lunaire.
Pecinta perhiasan pasti akan
menyukai berbagai macam perhiasan
yang ditawarkan di Schaap en
Citroen. Dari gelang bertatahkan
berlian karya Shamballa Jewels
sampai cincin pop warna-warni
dari Pomellato dan liontin emas
berbentuk hati dari Chopard, selalu
ada sesuatu yang cocok untuk
semua usia dan selera di toko ini.
Untuk cincin pertunangan yang
sempurna, Coster Diamonds wajib
dikunjungi. Perusahaan ini memiliki
salah satu pabrik berlian tertua yang
masih beroperasi di Eropa, yang
memulai bisnisnya sejak tahun 1840.
Kunjungan wisata berpemandu
disediakan dengan gratis. Anda
bisa melihat di sana para ahli emas
dan berlian beraksi saat mengasah
dengan tekun bebatuan yang
berasal dari seluruh dunia; berbagai
cara pemotongan dan pengaturan
tersedia.
Pakaian dari butik mewah Dior
akan menjadi pelengkap sempurna
bagi berlian yang baru Anda beli.
Koleksi musim gugur/dingin 2015/16
mereka menyertakan setelan merah
mengagumkan dengan celana tiga
perempat, serta berbagai macam
rok mini dengan pola ceria, setelan
terusan psikedelik dan mantel wol
berwarna-warni. Direktur kreatif
label ini, Raf Simons, dipuji banyak
orang karena membawa sentuhan
modern ke rumah mode Prancis
yang disegani itu dan koleksi terakhir
ini dengan sempurna mencerminkan
estetika barunya.
Kemudian, akhirilah hari
penjelajahan Anda di
Museumsquartier dengan makan
malam di restoran Taiko. Menu
luar biasa berinspirasi Asia ini
diciptakan oleh chef eksekutif Schilo
Van Coevorden yang menyertakan
berbagai macam sushi, dim sum
dan sashimi, di samping sapi wagyu
panggang yang lezat. Setelah makan
malam, waktunya menonton konser
di Concertgebouw. Para pemusik
paling berbakat tampil di sana
untuk memainkan musik-musik
klasik gubahan komponis-komponis
terbesar dunia. Karya-karya Mozart,
Bach dan Brahms merupakan
segelintir gubahan dari gubahan
yang dipertunjukkan di musim
gugur dan dingin ini.

‘Rituals tadinya merupakan hobi
yang kemudian lepas kendali’: kata
Raymond Cloosterman dengan
rendah hati mengenai perusahaan
gaya hidup mewahnya yang
didirikannya di tahun 2000. Dalam
15 tahun sejak didirikan, Rituals
Cosmetics telah mengembangkan
rentang produk yang mengagumkan,
mulai dari produk untuk tubuh
dan wajah sampai lilin wangi dan
parfum, dan bahkan sabun cair
untuk cuci piring. Perusahaan yang
kini memiliki lebih dari 400 toko
mandiri di seluruh dunia ini juga
memasok lebih dari 1.200 toko serba
ada dan toko parfum mewah, dan
menjadi merek perlengkapan mandi
yang dipilih oleh lebih dari 900 hotel
dan banyak maskapai penerbangan.
Produk-produk perusahaan ini
diilhami oleh tradisi Timur, serta
dirancang untuk membantu orang
menemukan kembali keajaiban
sehari-hari. ‘Kita menjalani
kehidupan yang berjalan otomatis
dan kita lupa seperti apa rasanya
menikmati hal-hal kecil dalam
kehidupan,’ kata Cloosterman
menjelaskan. ‘Secara global ada
kebutuhan kuat bagi orang-orang
untuk menghadirkan kembali
momen-momen kebahagiaan kecil
dalam hari mereka dan membuat
mereka sejenak menenangkan diri.’
Sebelum meluncurkan Rituals
Cosmetics, Cloosterman meniti
karir selama 13 tahun di Unilever.
Di sana ia menempati serangkaian
posisi tinggi. Ketika ia berusaha
mendapatkan wawasan bisnis
baru, muncullah gagasan tentang
Rituals Cosmetics: ‘Sebagai hasil
dari perjalanan tiga bulan ini, saya
48: Simple Pleasures
Kebahagiaan Kecil
Memetik inspirasi dari tradisi
Timur kuno, Rituals Cosmetics
didedikasikan untuk merayakan hal-
hal kecil dalam kehidupan ini. Verity
Hogan menemui CEO perusahaan
itu, Raymond Cloosterman
Dengan keseimbangan yang
sempurna antara budaya, belanja
mewah dan makanan adiboga,
Museumsquartier di Amsterdam

yang begitu kaya, melembapkan kulit
dan menyejukkan: ‘Itulah rahasia
bercukur saya!’
Rituals Cosmetics memiliki
daya tarik yang luas, dengan
menarik perhatian mereka yang
tua, muda, lelaki dan perempuan.
‘Saya ingin menciptakan merek
yang tidak melakukan segmentasi
kuno, yang memasukkan orang
dalam kotak-kotak tertentu,’ kata
Cloosterman menjelaskan. ‘Kami
lebih berusaha berbicara kepada
orang-orang dengan cara berpikir
tertentu – orang-orang yang sangat
kritis mengenai kualitas, tetapi
menghargai kehidupan dan ingin
menikmati hal-hal kecil dalam
kehidupan.’
Ini merupakan flsafat yang
cocok dengan gaya hidup modern
dan makin besarnya kecenderungan
terhadap kepedulian dan
kesejahteraan diri. ‘Kebutuhan
untuk menciptakan tempat aman
bagi diri sendiri makin meningkat,
guna melarikan diri dari tekanan
untuk berperan sebagai ibu,
manajer, teman,’ kata Cloosterman.
Ia sendiri menemukan pelarian
seperti itu dalam bepergian – ‘Saya
senang melakukan perjalanan, saya
senang menjelajahi, saya selalu ingin
tahu’ – dan perjalanannya baru-
baru ini membuatnya menemukan
inspirasi di Thailand, melepaskan
diri dari semua itu dalam perjalanan
bersama keluarga ke alam liar Idaho
dan menelusuri jalan-jalan di Paris
dengan naik ojek.
Walaupun demikian, semangat
Cloosterman untuk bekerja selalu
membawanya pulang dan merasakan
bahwa sisi kreatif dari perannya
kembali dengan semangat luar
biasa dan begitu banyak ide baru
– saya begitu antusias sehingga
memutuskan untuk mengundurkan
diri dari pekerjaan dan memulai
merek kosmetik sendiri. Sejumlah
wawasan dari perjalanan itu masih
berdampak pada merek ini dewasa
ini.’
Semua produk di rentang
luas Rituals Cosmetics memiliki
kisahnya sendiri. Cloosterman
dan timnya melakukan perjalanan
secara ekstensif untuk menemukan
ritual kuno dari budaya Timur,
yang kemudian mengilhami
pembuat parfum dan pengembang
produk mereka untuk menciptakan
lini produk yang relevan dengan
kehidupan modern. Produk dari lini
Tao misalnya, yang berdasarkan
ide yin dan yang Tiongkok dan
dirancang untuk menghadirkan
ketenangan dalam kehidupan
modern yang sibuk. ‘Kita begitu
terkoneksi sekarang ini, kita bekerja
24 jam/7 hari, kita tersedia 24/7,
dan orang-orang mencari jalan
untuk melarikan diri dari hal itu,’
kata Cloosterman mengenai koleksi
ini. ‘Kesenyapan merupakan
kemewahan baru.’
Saat ini, lini favorit Cloosterman
adalah Samurai yang maskulin.
Lini produk ini diilhami oleh
ritual sebelum pertempuran yang
dilakukan para serdadu elite
kaisar Jepang, yang diharapkan
untuk tampil sempurna sebelum
pertempuran. ‘Ada beberapa
produk inovatif di lini ini yang saya
sukai,’ kata Cloosterman dengan
bersemangat. Salah satunya adalah
krim pencukur tiga sewadah (3-in-1)

Saat ingin memborong dunia,
belanjalah bebas pajak
secara khusus membuatnya
senang. ‘Ini merupakan proses
yang menakjubkan, benar-benar
memberikan kepuasan,’ katanya
menerangkan. ‘Dimulai dari
secangkir teh di meja di dapur
dan setahun atau beberapa waktu
kemudian ada rentang produk yang
indah.’
Cloosterman mengakui
bahwa perusahaannya
memerlukan beberapa tahun
untuk menumbuhkan mereknya
dan memperbaiki produk serta
konsep sebelum menemukan
ceruk bisnisnya, tetapi di tujuh
tahun terakhir ini mereknya mulai
memiliki daya tarik internasional
dan berkembang setiap hari;
secara rata-rata perusahaan ini
membuka satu atau dua toko dalam
seminggu di lokasi-lokasi di seluruh
dunia. ‘Kami tumbuh dari mulut
ke mulut, teman yang bercerita
kepada temannya – itulah caranya
kami sukses di seluruh Eropa,’
katanya. ‘Ketika orang menemukan
kami, kami mencoba mengejutkan
mereka dari segi kualitas desain
dan wewangian, sehingga mereka
menjadi ketagihan!’
Perusahaan yang sering
digambarkan sebagai merek muda
dengan jiwa tua ini, kelihatannya
akan terus berkembang dan tumbuh.
‘Ada banyak paradoks dalam konsep
kami yang membuat orang-orang
jatuh cinta pada merek ini,’ kata
Cloosterman menyimpulkan.
‘Paradoks cerita lama dan teknologi
baru, Timur dan Barat, sangat
eksklusif tetapi juga mudah diakses –
semua hal ini menjadi satu.’
