Denmark goes Milan Design week 2016 | MENU

I only spent one afternoon at the actual Salone this year that with over 20 halls filled with design is impossible to do in one day and to be honest not my favourite place to be during Milan design week when over 1500 installations and exhibitions in town are fighting over my agenda already. Somehow […]

Roest by Vanjoost | Karven

Simplicity in its most basic form is what defines Karven’s Roest (Dutch for rust) collection by VanJoost. Rust is an elementary but beautiful reaction between iron, oxygen, water and time. Simplicity, or the lack of complexity, is highlighted in this series inspired by rough materials around VanJoost’s studio in the Netherlands.   I loved the raw and […]

Boffi Flagshipstore | Fuori Salone 2014

While visiting beautiful shops and showrooms I often get distracted by the design of the store itself, especially when it has a bit of raw edges or some old elements I can easily wander around for a while… Visiting the Boffi flagship store in via Solferino this year, definitely was another highlight of the fuori salone.  Located […]
