Isn't this the cutest lamp ever? Stubby and stylish. The lamp stand made of ash tree. I am in love.

tablet

Tablet by Claesson Koivisto Rune reminded me of this drawing. There's something about marble.

chair cushions

Lovely chair cushions. Upper photo by Beatrice Lundborg for DN bostad. Lower by Anette Nantell for the same magazine. The pink piano stool is painted and upholstered by Swedish designer Johan Lindstén. The fabric used is an old embroided tapestry.

If you like me are interested in the design process there are much to see at TAF's website.

drawings

Drawings/sketches/dessins by French Mathias Pladys. I am so fascinated by the design process. I wish more designers would share the first idea, the progressing sketches and the rejected ideas behind a finished product.

bruno mathson

We have a pair of old easy chairs, Karin by Bruno Mathson. They need to be reupholstered and I am searching for inspiration. I found this image. Not about Karin at all. A studio by Bruno Mathson.

Below is the chairs in question. Dressed in a light blue suede resembling material. Advice or inspiration is very much appreciated. I am thinking about this

Ingo Maurer

Lucellino, by Ingo Maurer. Created in 1992, it must have been ahead of its time? Or maybe nothing is. Anyway, a stunning lamp here in pics from Dwell and Liselotte Risell. Ingo Maurer has created a whole serie of bird lamps and I am not sure if it really is Lucellino on the pictures. It could be Birdie's Nest too. Anyway.

shimokawa toru

I found these fantastic bookends via Hello Tiger. They are called Massive and are designed by architect Shimokawa Toru.

elisa honkanen

Aito folding chair and table by Elisa Honkanen. I love the details, the surface of the table top and the asymmetric and light impression.

autumn term

Kindergarten, school, work. Suddenly our nine week vacation has ended.
This time of year I am always very focused on organization. Great desk and wall organizer by Jun Yasumoto.

Bruno Mathsson

We went to Kosta, Småland to see the row houses designed by Bruno Mathsson in 1955. Origianally they where built for the glassworkers. The houses were left to decay but a couple of years ago they were restored. In the restoration they collected pieces from all the houses to recreate one house to its original look.
Unfortunately, we didn't know that an inside showing had to be booked so we just had to lurch outside. My bad photos don't give this genious architect justice. I am so impressed and amazed by what a human being can accomplish. In every detail these houses are perfect.
