Höst restaurant by Norm Architects

post
23-11-2012

Norm Architects did an excellent job designing this beautiful Scandinavian restaurant. By using using recycled wood, industrial lamps and modern design elements, they succeeded in combining the traditional Scandinavian coziness with minimalism. The tableware collection was designed especially for the restaurant. Reclaimed wood is used throughout the interior to create rustic yet contemporary atmosphere.

“We tried to see if we could find a balance where the interior, the dinnerware and the food told the same story, without it being too old-fashioned or too much of a theatrical backdrop,” said designer Bjerre-Poulsen.

Look at this wonderful light filled apartment with lots of white and wood! Some playful and colorful accessories were added in the living room and kitchen to make the place more lively and personal, while the bedroom was kept very calm and quit. A perfect balance if you ask me.

Modern Kitchen with built in herb garden

post
21-11-2012

There’s something about this big, light kitchen, designed by Steininger that you just have to love. This luxurious area with metal, wood and white panels and natural wood floors even has a built in herb garden with special lighting to make the plants grow more. It’s nice to have some fresh herbs close by while cooking, but it also adds a splash of green to the otherwise natural and muted room, which makes it even nicer.

Shelf by Torafu Architects

post
17-11-2012

I saw this shelf from Torafu Architects and thought it was quit interesting. It’s another product with a secret hiding place (as you might have noticed in my previous posts, I tend to like that). The small wooden cylinders contain a magnet. If you place the magnets on the right place of the shelf, you can pull it and the drawer will open. I think this is a very cute design.

White and bright Swedish home

post

Another bright, white home for you today, to start the week. By keeping some of the traditional elements that where inside the home, and mixing them with some modern design and art, this house feels clean, yet cozy and effortless. I just feel a breeze of fresh air, just looking at those picture.

Carbon Chair by Bert Jan Pot

post
13-11-2012

In the development of the Fiberglass DSR Chair by Charles Eames, more than fifty years ago, a carbon prototype of the chair was built. Till today, the prototype still stands because of it’s brilliant engineering. Bert Jan Pot designed the Carbon Chair in corporation with Marcel Wanders for Moooi, inspired by the carbon prototype Eames once created.
The pattern on the seat is very intriguing and reflects the strength pattern of the original DSR chair. Every point on the rim of the chair is connected with the four points connecting the seat to the base frame. But most of all, I think this chair is really pretty to look at.
