I’m in love with this new styling work of Susanna Vento (Photographed by Kristiina Kurronen). She chose such nice muted colors, together with the perfect patterns and natural materials.
Strik is a snugly armchair, that consists of a frame made of ash tree and a knitted upholstery made of wool – a wooden “body” wearing a knitted “sweater”. The upholstery is reversible and can also be used as a blanket. Kristina Jaer states Strik is rooted in the North and inspired by how we wrap ourselves in warm clothes to protect us from the cold. For the design of this chair, she worked with the meeting between traditional and familiar, in contrast to the modern and surprising. The result is a chair that invites to closeness.
It’s always a challenge to live in a small home but still decorate it well. Even more than in a big home, you have to put a lot of thought in what you buy and what you put into the house. This is a beautiful example of a very small (one room) apartment, which is very nicely decorated. I like how the bed is used as a separator as well, with the fabric on the sides, while the high marble counter top, used as a table, divides the kitchen and the living room from each other.
I wanted to start the week with this wonderful Stilleben by stylist Emma Persson Lagerberg and photographer Petra Bindel. The colors are so calm and soothing, it brings some rest at the beginning of this busy week (and it makes me want to enjoy a cup of tea).
Chief Designer at Vipp, Morten Bo Jensen has created a light and airy home for him, his girlfriend and their two daughters, in an abandoned Pencil Factory. I love the dark kitchen, the bike which is mounted on the wall and the concrete bathroom walls.
At Gubi, they see themselves as treasure hunters. Curiousity, courage and intuition are key components of their success. Design is all about discovering gems and following your instincts. It involves traveling, searching and finding long-lost remnants from the past as well as contemporary, cutting-edge designs from new artists on the horizon. The result is an eclectic, intercontinental collection that blurs the lines between the past and the future.
A sofa can make a very important part of the living room, as it usually fills quit a big part of it. I find these sofas from Pianca just gorgeous. No complicated shapes, just simple an clean lines, with soft and neutral fabrics. Just my thing.
I like this grey, monochrome apartment a lot from Folkhem, photographed by Henrik Bonnevier. The neutral colors pop up everywhere: the bottles on the table, the big white closet, the brown insides of the books…all together they give the apartment a very specific character.
