Serene

Serene... I love that word. This place has probably been all over blogland by now - I haven't even checked, but I need to post it here to keep it. Can I live here please?

Workspace for the soul

Tomorrow I'm moving in to my new shared workspace in the eastern part of Copenhagen (Østerbro). It's really tiny but I'm looking forward to have a place outside my (also tiny) home where I can work with all the fun projects coming up this spring.

When I grow up I'll have a place like this one below. It used to belong to italian architect Achille Castiglioni and is actually a museum you can visit if you are ever in Milan. In the words of one of my favourite fictional characters: "Isn't it dreamy...?"

It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings...

Hey you all!!
I'm here... Or, well, not quite here but over at Elle Interiör things has started moving again. Come visit my blog over there! It's in swedish, at least for now, but there is this nice little google translate button you can click at the bottom ;-) I miss you!

Muller Fien photography

Love these images from the studio of dutch (here we go again) furniture designer Maarten Van Severen by photographer Muller Fien. Beautiful.
Correction: Not Dutch! Belgian! Good to know my taste goes beyond the borders of the Neatherlands :)
I'm not the best blogger at the moment, I know. Still trying to get into my new job. I love it but it takes a while to adjust to a new place after all. Possibly the best job I've ever had, btw :) But, so you know, I'm still here!

So pretty.

 

Everything that comes out of the Netherlands looks good. Or at least, so it seems. (Sorry for the lo-res images, but I couldn't resist posting :)

No nails

I often wish I was better at building stuff. I come up with all sorts of amazing designs, amazing in my head at least since my knowledge in carpentery is next to none. My father is a very skilled carpenter and I've kept some of the drawings I made of stuff I wanted him to build for me when I was a kid. Like the one of a candy kiosk for example. I had written down that the shelves in the kiosk were supposed to be 1 centimeter wide...(!) Very useful information for my dad I guess!
This invention above could certainly be something for me. Developed by israeli design lab Dag these little thingies were made to join all sorts of things in your house, even for building shelves!

Playful and ingenious!

I love everything about this concept. The playfulness and the creativity. This is an interior for a boutique made by Italian designcompany Marama.
That lamp is just ingenious, and look at the fading floor!

Sasa clock by Thorunn Arnadottir

Beautiful and poetic conceptual design by Thorunn Arnadottir. From the designer's website: "The time is read from the color coded necklace. Each bead represents a 5 minute increment. As the wheel turns, every 5 minutes a bead drops down the cord. Orange beads represent hours, gold and silver beads represent noon and midnight."........"To "stop time", remove the beads and wear them proudly, as a statement that you are in control of your own minutes.
The clock is manufactured and sold by Daniel Estes Designs

I love this place (and the clothes!)

The clothes of the japanese born Los Angeles based designer Momo Suzuki are really something, but look at her place! Again (I've kept coming back to that over and over again for a while now) so simple, so uncomplicated and beautiful! The photos are shot by photographer and artist Jeana Shon who has a great blog.
