Handvärk is a new Danish brand which designs and produces beautiful furniture handcrafted out of steel, iron, brass, marble and leather of the highest quality. Emil Thorup, founded the brand because he found himself missing an alternative to the incredible wood-skills the Danish are so famous for, in which other natural materials could be the cornerstone of the design. I think the clean lines and excellent exhibition of the materials make for stunning pieces and an elegant, timeless look.

Autumn tints

I love these colors in this styling made for Rum magazine, by Gitte Kjaer. The perfect early autumn colors. I also really like the stoneware coffee maker designed by Mette Duedahl for Muuto, such a statement piece for the breakfast table.

At Royal Copenhagen

The third stop on our Danish design tour was a visit to the Royal Copenhagen factory, where all porcelain is crafted by hand and hand painted by some very talented painters with extremely steady hands. We were invited to paint our own Blue Fluted Mega cup in the factory as well, which was very, very difficult. I’m really curious about seeing the result after it is baked and will show you here on the blog as well.

Muuto just released the Grain lamp, designed by Jens Fager. It stands out in it’s simplicity and is created from a mix of bamboo grain and plastic composite. This production technique makes for an interesting surface and texture. I would love to see it up close, but for now these stylish mood pictures are also very nice to look at.

I love these settings by Broste Copenhagen for their new catalogue. The muted colors go so well with the gold cutlery (which is so lovely isn’t it ?) and the different textures.
