A photo from KW, the institute of contemporary art in Berlin .
By immensely talanted and generous Kristina of no penny for them.  See the photo here. I am fascinated by the depth and the reflections. I can't stop looking at it. Sinking into it. Earlier today I found my nine year old standing looking at it. All absorbed. It's calm and yet very dramatic at the same time depending on how you look. Thank you so much,  Kristina!

book

This book, Arkitektens fritidshus (maybe something like The Architect's Summer House), by Kenneth Kauppi and photographer Patric Johansson is on my Christmas wish list.

stockholm

Stockholm in the 1930s. By Bertil Norberg. Pictures for sale at Form 1900. Great selection of Scandinavian 20th century design.

My computer is dead. I've learned to back-up since the last crash so I didn't loose anything important. Odd to discover though how uncomfortable it feels to use someone else's computer.

black and white

I find myself looking for black and white interior photos. Probably inspired by that Elle Deco cover I wrote about here. Somehow the shapes and the composition appear in a way new to me. This photo by Tjitske van Leeuwen.
Also, a new flickr widget in the sidebar. Found it via No Penny For Them
Happy weekend!

in the mail!!

I got home today and was so happy to find this in the mail. It's a Wallpaper City Guide and two beautiful photographs by Kristina from No Penny For Them. She had a giveaway a couple of weeks ago celebrating her first vacation in years and I won!!! It was amazing to find this lovely parcel in the mail. Beautifully wrapped, a gorgeous card and the City Guide is fantastic. Now I am very eager to go to Venice but first I want to visit Berlin. If you visit Kristina's blog Mostly Berlin you will see why. Her photos and the way she describes her city is so very inspiring.
If you havn't already, make sure to visit Kristina:

I love these photos by photographer Nicole Bachmann for Vitra Home. More here.

Speaking of Vitra, if you haven't already, see designer Jasper Morrison's monthly photos and observations in Vitra Magazine.

light

Lovely light. By photographer Elliot Elliot.

weather report

Very strange weather here today. The sun was shining through my kitchen window on this cone lying on the counter. The next moment snow is whirling outside and now while writing this it's all still again. The sky graphite grey.

The Barn

This striking photo by etsy seller Urban Design made me think of

The Hermit's Cabin and Nesting Box by Mats Theselius for Arvesund. Arvesund's products are made of timber from old and decayed Swedish barns.
