After my trip to Tenerife I am more than ready for Summer and more sun. Last Summer I got the beautiful Bryck couch for my patio including a large pouf and I can’t wait to not only add more greens to my patio but also a few nice pots. Thinking about a small table for […]
New Dutch brand ØDE Design is launching its first collection of high-quality, solid wood tables at Masterly during my favourite Design week of the year: Milan Design Week. ØDE returns to the essence. Using sustainable wood, a local production process and true Dutch designs. The name “Øde” derived from the place the tables are crafted […]
At Stockholm Furniture fair earlier this year, I had a sneak peek of the 2023 collection by Kristina Dam. I enjoyed the new designs and the stand itself was beautifully designed. And as we know from Kristina each piece is sculptural, functional, and made from honest materials! Especially the wooden Collector Dining table caught my […]
During Stockholm Design week Frama presented their Bracket series at Restaurant Konstnärsbaren, a Swedish restaurant institution established in the 1930s—a classic gathering point with a long artistic history and unique atmosphere. I visited the press event, it was fully packed and I only stayed for a short while. Had a chat with a few people […]
Inspired by the Zara Home Spring SS23 collection and with Summer already in mind I would love to share a few wishes for my bedroom with you. First a minimal headboard covered Linen like the one in Hotel Julien in Antwerp. With the dark wooden floor I just love the idea of a beautiful bedcover […]
With a small parking lot just a few meters away from some of our windows. I have been thinking often about the air quality in my home, and certainly the one in the bedrooms. A few years ago, on quiet winter mornings, I could smell the exhaust fumes when neighbours started their cars and perhaps […]
Outdoor season is almost here! I personally can’t wait for the days to get longer and the sun to show itself more often. When spring arrives, outdoor living starts with a thorough cleaning of my patio and taking care of the plants. I fill the large black containers with new plants and others are trimmed […]
Milan Design week is only a few weeks away and we are planning on what to see and where to go now the first emails and press invites hit my mailbox. Of course I am always looking for the unexpected, new designers and outstanding products. A designer that caught my eye for Milan design week […]
At the beginning of January I also visited the Serax showroom in Paris, where I was deeply impressed by ‘Jeanne’, Marie Michielssen’s new furniture line for Serax. In recent years she has focused more on designing furniture and objects with which she herself has a deep connection. Her furniture collection Jeanne and her first tableware […]
It was only the third time I visited Stockholm last month. I took me some time as I only visited Stockholm in 2014 with our former Blogtour team. Super fun sponsored tours, we used to organise, visiting the different cities of our tour members. For a few years we traveled from Stockholm to Spain meeting […]
Norm Architects created Basao Tea Lounge. One senses an instant change in pace, when the bustling cityscape is replaced by a calming acoustic. As natural light filters through from the outside and highlights the subtle colours and rich textures of the carefully selected materials, the space feels warm and welcoming. Just like the many scents […]
I was happy to have booked a few days more when I was in Paris for Maison & Objet and Paris Design week. Although I love being in company and it is always more fun to explore all the old and new Paris has to offer. I do not hesitate to travel alone or hop […]
