Faves of the week

I really felt like doing a list of my favourite clicks lately. So here it comes! Hope the pictures and tips cheer you up, too!

 Lamp

On my mind right now is whether to buy a PH5 lamp for my kitchen or not. I have seen them on campaigns in several stores right now so would be a good time indeed. Do you have some experiences of it? I am inspired by House of Philia and Aprill Aprill.
 

 

Place

 

 

This week Volang Linda gave a new blog tip again, EmmyLinnea, and the cosy picture of Copenhagen immediately caught my eyes.

Interior

I am curiously looking forward to the new The way we play magazine that was talked about on Instagram a few days ago. I can't wait to see if there are more nice rooms hidden in this stylish home! I like this picture and the details in it. The sofa with Josef Frank pattern, the candelabra, choice of flowers, picture wall... An interesting mix and atmosphere!

Ceramics

The ceramist Elin Lannsjö got the Elle Decoration Swedish Design Award this year for "coming rising star". Maybe you remember? Wisuella appointed her this title already 2014! :) (You can read about my award here.) I am also thinking how can Elin's allotment be this beautiful? Dying. Longing for an own garden...! Above some pictures of her latest ceramics!

Recipes

 

 

I got lost in beautifully styled food and sweets' recipes yesterday at Pinterest. More pinning those than doing them but anyhow great inspiration! :) Baked figs with rosemary & honey and cheese on sourdough as well as raw vegan bounty balls. Recipes by Cygnet Kitchen here and Dolcetti & Scherzetti here.

 

TV

  

Tomorrow there will be new episodes of the TV programme Vem bor här (Who lives here), led by Malin Olsson. A group of people are visiting each other's homes and the task for all viewers and themselves are to, at the end of the programme, match people + homes and guess who lives where. More difficult than you think!

Happy Sunday!

 

Springtime

 

Thank you Easter for this year and welcome spring!

 

Easter holiday

A little glimpse of my home and bracing and colourful Easter flowers. Four days of holiday = super! Wishing you a good and relaxing Easter, too!

 

Broste Copenhagen | Spring and summer 2016

Broste Copenhagen has released some really nice and admirable press pictures of their spring and summer collection for 2016. I love the golden cutlery, it looks so luxurious, and also all the glossy ceramics that is tinged with different colours, the boxes and mortar in marble as well as the shiny small colourful flower vases with vertical stripes. Such lovely products!

Faves of the week

I am enjoying the weekend today after having worked so much lately. Sun is shining nicely into my living room and Easter is approaching. That is my favouite feast! As always I fall into these blog decoration seasons too late and have not thought about what to create this year either, but one day when I was travelling I was absorbed in origami pictures around the web. Such amazing things you can make with just a little piece of paper. I noticed that you can make a lot of beautiful things to hang on sprigs inside, for example birds. I feel like blowing eggs and painting those and crack every second of them by mistake is not my cup of tea.
 

This is not origami as such but I thought it was a cute paper bird and quite easy to do if you like.

 

One of the blogs I am happy to follow is Karin Lindroos' blog. She always brings content that is personal, colourful and surprising = she does not post anything mainstream that you see everywhere. I also feel like going all in with colours on the sprigs this year. Let's see how it goes.

 

Due to the happy, shiny weahter my heart also melts for these kind of garden pictures of what is to come. The wish to have an own Panthella lamp grows even bigger when I see this beautiful lamp in the window. The outdoor lamp is a grey Toldbod lamp, also from Louis Poulsen.

 

I held these shoes in my hands yesterday. Quite nice. New ones from Odd Molly's summer collection.

 

 

Keep looking.

 

Happy weekend to you!

Blue porcelain

I did not plan to be away this long but some heavy workload and trips came up so I had no choice nor time over. Today when I came home a took a picture of my flea market find. This is actually a Christmas plate if you look closely, but I will keep it around for a while because angels are for all seasons, aren't they?

Blue seems to be the new it-colour again. For me it has really rested for a long time as I associate it with ealier non-cool decades, but now I think I have overcome it. Blue is really the thing which adds that little extra. Maybe just because that colour has been missing from my home.

 

From factory to apartment

Today I am inspired by Louise's and Anders' place, an old factory hall that has become an apartment. The gallery wall with modern art makes me sigh of admiration and the design icons, Arne Jacobsen's Seven chair in leather as well as the black Ant chairs around the dining table make everything so visually beautiful. The desk lamp Kaiser Idell is also from Fritz Hansen.

See more pictures from the home here.

February's bits and pieces

 

It is time for February's bits and pieces. Hope you find something you like!

wall lamp 

 

In fact I am not so into wall lamps as I have the same problem with these as with picture frames. All nail holes and my ever-changing mood. However, &tradition's reinterpretation of Arne Jacobsen's Bellevue lamp makes me consider it. So nice!  

 

cushion
 

More spring colours. A cushion in apricot.

 

speaker

I have dreamed of this speaker for a long time.

Simple sweater with polished buttons. So much blue.

book

I have reawakened my interest for reading (it is a matter of priority indeed) and right now I am clicking back and forth and around looking for the best bargains at the book sale coming up on 24th February. So much to select between and right now I am looking at  health books, recipes, detective stories and novels. The novel All The Light We Cannot See has gotten 5 stars by 100 000 readers and won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2015, the most prestigious honour in the US when it comes to literature. Well, I decided to trust 100 000 readers and pre-ordered it.

Faves of the week

This week is ending with Valentine's day. With a flower picture I am wishing you a happy and good day with your dear ones and also provide you with a mix of the faves that I have spotted this week.

 

I already blogged about Issey Miyake x Iittala but later on I stumbled across these nice pictures of the collection.

 

Ferm Living is turning 10 years. Happy birthday!

 

 

Ikea's new collection Tillfälle is now out in the stores. I am curious about the table and jar with graphic pattern, as well as the stool and wooden cupboard.

 

 

I think it looks so gorgeous with freeze-dried raspberries on cakes and pastries. Next time I will decorate any chocolate cake with these.

 

 

Carolina Gynning is blogging about an old comeback. Levi's 501. What do you think?

 

 

I saw the blogger Helena Lyth on TV this morning and she was doing very easy paper hearts. The hearts can for example be used on plates as decorations. Or why not on gifts?

 

 

In the same programme I saw 34-year old Rachel sing her Fight Song. I know it has been out there for a long time already but I like her message and that she is a living example of her own song, which was written long before her world success. The song has given hope to a lot of people around the world with various fights...And she has a beautiful voice!
 

 

...I might only have one match, but I can make an explosion...

 

 

 

 

That will be the new week's mantra. Happy Sunday!

  

Issey Miyake x Iittala | From runway to tabletop

 

Issey Miyake, the Japanese fashion designer with fanciful creations on the runway, and Iittala, the Finnish design company specializing in design objects for the home, have today launched a unique collaboration with details for the home. There have been a lot of rumours and secret hints about this in social media lately and it seems to be the most hyped homeware collaboration this far during 2016.

 

The collection is already out on the market and is also exclusively sold at New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) Design Store during the whole spring. The collection includes, among other things, pillows, place mats, napkins, cups and plates. All pieces are either in soft pastel or neutral tones. I was thinking that the pale pink colour refers to the famous Japanese cherry blossoms, and actually, it was true! :) 

 

Iittala’s creative director Jeremiah Tesolin says:

 

"The colors and shapes we’ve used are reflections of nature. Rich greens recall Scandinavia’s forests, while the shades of pale pink and gray reference the Sakura, the blossoming of Japanese cherry trees. The napkins carry a lovely detail from Japan: When folded, each is the shape of Mount Fuji."

 

I think it is an interesting collaboration. Some details are clearly inspired by the art of origami, which is an old Japanese paper-folding tradition.

Charmy stone house in Sweden

 

Such beautiful architecture of this charmy stone house in southern Sweden. Here lives the blogger Malin Persson with her Italian husband and three kids. I like the rooftop, windows, doors, terrace and pillars with stone balls...
