Summer seems definitely on it’s return and I am happy I could spend some wonderful sunny days in Helsinki with this bunch of happy people the other week. Tomorrow my last Helsinki post about the young designer area at the fair will be up on the blog and later on I will show you my […]
Living in the Eastern Docklands the former Amsterdam harbour, I do not cross the IJ river to the Amsterdam North area really often but the other day when I was on my way to buy some flowers in a tiny shop at KNSM Island I thought it would be nice to cross the water and […]
Only a few more weeks and many of us will be on a long Summer break, beside spending some hopefully sunny days at home during my summer break I also have some places in mind that I would love to visit. I love travelling and thought it was a good moment to show you some […]

Looking at a friends pictures on Instagram I discovered St. Vincents in Antwerp the other day, and luckily enough I can show some more of it on the blog as co-owner Geraldine and a few other kind people sent me some pictures. Together with her Belgian partner Henri she opened the store a few months […]
Iceland is a kind of magic country, in my opinion, I like how designers get inspired not only by nature, but also use material found in nature for their creations. Baugar (Halos) is a series of sculptures by Guðný Hafsteinsdóttir. Consisting of three different sized rings made from coarse black clay and molten lava Baugar is a […]
At last year’s designMarch I was introduced to NORR11, a Scandinavian design and lifestyle brand for furniture and home accessories. I love their brandstore in Reykjavik, and despite the snow and hail I had to bring a quick visit to the store to see the new collection and the exhibition ‘Greykjavik S igga Odds’ invluding […]
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. […]

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 […]
