Chubby furniture trend | From Matti Carlson to H&M and Tom Dixon

After reading ‘It’s fat, round and cuddly’ in the press release of Tom Dixon this morning I realized we continue seeing round shapes and almost chubby furniture. I must say I love the simple lines and the almost inelegant look! The Frama table I photographed is a good example, see here: A shopping guide for […]

A monochrome home with great details in Sweden

This home located in Östermalm in Stockholm belongs to stylist and interior designer Emma Blomquist and if you ask me, it shows a perfect balance of displaying just the right amount of accessories. Having to make some decisions for a new floor plan, something I keep pushing forward as I find it really difficult, I […]

A few years ago I wrote about Berlin based Bazar Noir, where you will find a carefully selected mix of handcrafted small furniture, objects, books, and art defined by a simple yet avant-garde style! I regularly check the site to see what’s new and drool over my favourites . They have so many unique pieces.  […]

After spotting the picture of their new bar on Instagram I asked the owners of Mica Coffee bar in Haarlem to sent me some more images of their coffee bar just outside the centre of Haarlem, a beautiful small town near Amsterdam. The sisters Annemarie and Sophie started Mica in […]

Public Space Amsterdam

Amsterdam might be known best for its canals and charming city centre, I personally love living on one of the edges of town, the Eastern Harbour area where I am surrounded by water. I live on the first island of the area that from a harbour and industrial area was transformed into a partly residential […]

Spatial Sensibilities | Frama at Stockholm Design Week 2019

Marble Cubism | 101 Copenhagen at ShowUp

I wouldn’t mind a small collection of marble objects as seen at ShowUp this weekend where 101 Copenhagen presented a part of their collection for the first time at this fair. It is no secret I am a long time fan of their sculptural objects and also the lamp and small furniture collection is really […]

Place Bench | A favourite by Ferm Living as seen at imm

Always on the look for different and ‘new’ design and maybe even more for unexpected and unusual  finds, even the well known Scandinavian brands keep surprising me. While visiting the stand of Ferm Living a few new items of the SS/19 collection caught my eye and especially the blackened steel ‘Place Bench’ with its beautiful […]
