Creating worlds that make you feel something

Event experiences, meaningful spaces, retail concepts & curated vintage.

I’m Nadine van der Zee, the creative spirit and treasure hunter behind The Darling Studio.

After 17 years of creating the colourful world of The Darling through my own stores, I now bring my experience, imagination and love for unexpected details to spaces and experiences with a story to tell.

From intimate weddings and personal celebrations to inspiring interiors, retail concepts and brand experiences. I create thoughtful concepts and atmospheric styling that bring people, places and stories together.

A little something or the whole wonderful world.

Whether you’re looking for a creative idea, a beautifully styled space, a personal detail or a complete experience from start to finish, everything is tailored to you.

With a love for vintage treasures, playful combinations and meaningful details, I create worlds that feel warm, welcoming and wonderfully personal.

Let’s create something wonderful together.

Have an idea, a space or a special occasion in mind? I’d love to hear about it.

WEDDING EXPERIENCE DESIGN

The Journey of Connection

An intimate wedding experience centred around connection. From an immersive art installation that invited guests into the couple’s world to personal gifts, a women’s ritual and yoga session centred around a handmade mandala, bespoke stationery and atmospheric tablescaping. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to bring people closer together.
