One of my favourites exhibitions visited during DesignMarch was held at Museumspace Seltjarnarnes where several designers showcased their work in a raw and industrial space near the seaside… a combination of concrete and nature and where sea and snow formed a beautiful backdrop for every piece. We visited the exhibition on our way to the […]
Reykjavik has a few streets that are great for shopping and much needed coffee breaks, where shops and gallery’s opened their stores for special events, collaborations and exhibitions during DesignMarch. At jewellery and lifestyle store Aurum my eye caught an installation in the storefront that I thought was really interesting. Black ink dripped slowly through […]
DesignMarch is Iceland’s premier design festival I attended earlier this month, some amazing days with a great combination of openings, exhibitions, workshops, design talks, and escapes in nature. From fashion to design, architecture to installations in town and at the seaside. It showcases the local design scene and interesting speakers from all over the world. […]
When travelling one of the things I enjoy most are the spacious bathrooms in the different hotels, like the beautiful blue bathroom in the Praktik Garden this last Summer in Spain, and not to speak about the freestanding baths in some hotels. Although most of the rooms in my own home are really spacious for the apartment it […]
I am back from Iceland after an amazing week and I love you to see some of my souvenirs! It is not a secret I am a huge Mad et Len fan and I still love to think back at seeing the whole collection and the installation Alexandre made of the brand in Paris during Designweek. To […]

At the ‘Relationship of Parts‘ with Flos event last year I spotted the table above in the back of the Mobilia store, used in the kitchen area and covered with laptops and papers. It wasn’t officially released by then but it caught my eye because of the sturdy character. I kind of forgot about it […]
Yesterday afternoon I arrived in Reykjavik where I will visit DesignMarch, the annual Icelandic fashion and design festival. The design fun already started at the airport with a small Pop-up event with different designers, and my eye immediately spotted some black candle holders. No surprise they were from Postulína, who I also met last year, which you can […]
It was really hard to make a selection of the pictures I got sent by Petra after posting about her photography work some time ago: Wertvoll Photography | love for travel, nature and design. I got to see a sneak peek about it and from seeing one picture I could already see this home in an […]
I am about to pack my suitcase for DesignMarch 2016, Iceland’s annual design and fashion festival, when visiting Iceland for the first time last year, I immediately felt at home and kind of lost my heart to it and am so excited to go back. I got to meet lots of Icelandic designers and found […]
At home I am still moving things around, I finally painted my old table black and added it in the living as a ‘side-table’ to replace the small industrial one from my office, meanwhile I am moving chairs and lamps around. I love making some changes and moving things around but still haven’t found the […]
