Confetti cabinet by Moving Mountains

The confetti pattern on this cupboard from Moving Mountains is very playfull, which contrast really nicely with the robust and slick design of the piece.

Het confetti patroon op deze kast van Moving Mountains is heel speels, wat een mooi contrast geeft tegen het robuuste en strakke design van het model.

Light forest by Ontwerpduo

Light Forest, designed by Ontwerpduo can crawl over beams and corners, across walls and ceilings. It crawls into places other lighting cannot reach. This made to measure light composition can make a room very special, I think it would look really nice in a concept store for example.

Light Forest, ontworpen door Ontwerpduo kruipt over balken en in hoekjes, langs de muren en over plafonds. Deze compositie rijkt uit op plaatsen waar normale armaturen niet kunnen rijken. Ik vind deze op maat gemaakte compositie heel mooi, perfect voor in een concept winkel bijvoorbeeld.

No bare walls

post

No bare walls - via cocolapinedesign.com

I’m always very inspired by walls of artwork in a home, and find them even more interesting if they are mixed up with other elements. Items like wall hooks or candleholders, make it all a bit less serious, and break the straight lines of the frames.

I made a little collage of what I think would make for an interesting wall composition and included the Menu POV candle holder, Llot Llov Edison wall hooks (which could be used for hanging a frame, clothes, a lamp or anything else worth showing), a Seletti Neon Art letter and some original artwork from Saatchi – an interesting platform where you can buy artist’s artwork, but also more affordable prints from the same piece. I’m especially drawn to the black and white photography and the more graphic works.

Ik ben altijd erg geinspireerd door wanden gevuld met kunst in een woning. Ik vind ze zelfs nog interessanter wanneer ze gemengd worden met andere elementem zoals haken en kandelaars, dat maakt het geheel wat speelser en het breekt ook de rechte lijnen van de kaders.

Ik maakte een kleine collage van wat ik een interessante muur-combinatie zou vinden. Ik koos voor de Menu POV kandelaar, de Llot Llov Edison muurhaken (die gebruikt kunnen worden om kaders, kleren, lampen of andere dingen die je wil tentoonstellen aan te hangen), de Seletti Neon Art letter en originele artprints van Saatchi – een interessant platform waar je rechtstreeks van kunstenaars kan kopen, maar waar je ook meer betaalbare prints kan vinden van dezelfde stukken. Ik vind vooral de zwart wit fotografie en de meer grafische prints mooi.

Wegner – Just one good chair

As some of you might have seen on my Instagram feed, we travelled to Copenhagen over the Easter days. We had been there before two years ago and covered the main tourist attractions back then, so this trip was all about walking around in Vesterbro and Nørrebro, doing some shopping (Stilleben was high on my list, as well as Playtype which unfortunately was closed) and last but certainly not least we visited two really nice museums.

We took the train to the Louisiana modern art museum, where we spend the day strolling around both inside and outside and had a great lunch as well.

The other museum we did was the designmuseum Denmark, where we saw the Just one good chair exhibition, following the life and work of Wegner. The exhibition marks the 100th anniversary of his birth and gives and insight into his work with photos, drawings and models. It was nice to see some of his earlier works and read about the story behind each design. I find his work exceptional and never boring. The two last pictures by the way are from another exhibition about storage in the same museum, also very nice. If you get the chance and are in Copenhagen, you should definitely check it out.

Vifa

A portable speaker is not something I would immediately consider a decoration object, but I have to say, I would love to have this Vifa Copenhagen one in my home. The simple shape and the fabric make it an item that has a place in the interior, not something that you should hide in a closet.

Een draagbare luidspreker is niet direct iets dat ik als een decoratief element zou beschouwen, maar ik moet zeggen, deze Vifa Copenhagen luidspreker zou ik graag een plaatsje geven in ons appartement. De simpele vorm en de stof maken het een object dat je graag in je interieur plaatst en niet wegbergt in één of andere kast.

Grand Prix return

post

The Grand prix chair designed by Arne Jacobsen is now available again with wooden legs. I think it makes the chair look a lot softer. The wood base definitely is my favourite one.

De Grand prix stoel, ontworpen door Arne Jacobsen is na lange tijd opnieuw verkrijgbaar met houten poten. Het hout maakt de stoel veel zachter. Dit is zeker mijn favoriete versie.

Found via April and May
