A new showroom for Danish lighting brand Anour

In my previous post I wrote how I love brands create a space where work and showroom go hand in hand. Danish lighting brand Anour goes even a step further in their all new showroom where next to office and showroom even the production is under the same roof, giving the opportunity to visitors to get a holistic experience of Anour. Located just outside Copenhagen in a 300m2 warehouse from 1970, straight lines, cracked flooring, brutalist architecture influence and "desaturated tones", form the setting to complement the different metal finishes of the products.  

A tour through the new home of Ferm Living

Earlier this month I gave you a sneak peek of the new Ferm Living space. I love brands combining work, office and showroom, where as a customer you can find inspiration and shop at the same time. Somehow buildings like that look more alive, you feel a buzz rather than being at a big silent showroom.

Blomus 2020 collection | w/ Style Photoshoot

Living in two different cities in a lockdown situation, it took some time to be able to do what I love most… styling and photographing for w/ Style. As soon as it was possible again, we teamed up to work with the new 2020 collection of blomus. After shooting a previous collection in the Amsterdam apartment, see here, we love following the German family-owned brand. Their minimalist, and functional design perfectly fit our aesthetics and we love how the brand sticks to their belief in honesty of materials and the purity of shape. 

All new images from Oliver Gustav Copenhagen store

With borders slowly opening for selected country's, and for a minimal stay of six nights only, according to the email I just received from Visit Denmark. A visit to Copenhagen is not within reach for me any time soon... and that is okay although I would have loved to travel to Denmark for 3 days of design. I love the city, the stores and all the beautiful showrooms of our favourite Scandinavian brands.

Oliver Gustav is one of the places I always try to visit when visiting Denmark and when talking with them recently I was happy to receive a few new images of the Copenhagen store. For me it is the perfect store with many sculptural and unique pieces, some antique, some made out of metal and always surprising and a store decorated with a good dose of drama.

Meet Italian brands online in our Salone del Mobile Special

For a while we had hopes up to fly to Milan for a postponed Salone del Mobile this week. The rest is old news … it just didn’t happen. One of the things I love most during Milan design week is discovering new and unknown brands. Milan Designweek is a combination of work and pleasure with scrolling through the city with the little group of friends I share an apartment with for years and meeting designers and fellow friends from all over Europe and abroad. 

A raw and minimal home by Michael Falgren | frama stories

Danish photographer Michael Falgren opened his house and went in conversation with Frama at his 1970’s house in Hornbæk. Together with his family, Michael decided to leave the busy Copenhagen-life in the spring of 2018 and started an in-depth restoration where sustainable materials were key elements while respecting the soul and history of the house. 

New tableware by Sergio Herman for Serax

When it comes to ceramic tableware, Serax is one of my favourite brands. Most of my dinnerware is from Serax and I am really happy to be able to work with their collections for a few years now in our different shoots for w/ Style.  Sergio Herman, not a stranger on the blog either is one of the top chefs Serax created new collections with over the last years, I was so happy to receive his cooking book when visiting Serax a few years ago where Sergio cooked for us all. The pictures and recipes, his risotto is my favourite, are amazing! Together with Serax Sergio now created Inku.

If you love Copenhagen and are able to travel safe, here is some news for you from Ferm LIVING. Nestled between picturesque canals, houseboats and the untamed freetown Christiania, Ferm Living will open the doors to their new boutique and showroom. Kuglegården 1-5 is a historic building that dates all the way back to 1777, and whose uncompromising façade creates a beautiful contrast to its unpolished backdrop. The building will be home to Ferm Living's offices and a 450m² combined showroom and boutique – ferm LIVING’s first.
