ciff youth 2019

  Things that caught my eye at Ciff Youth. When young in the '70/'80 Jens Storms bag always take you down memory lane. Bigger bags and pencil case was new to me. Pinecone was new to Ciff - a tumbling furniture/pillow among others, that had a soft cover, for the kids to play on, from resting as a newborn to toddlers to jump from and balancing while playling. Washable and easy to stack into a block.
LiiLu a German brand that is all about natural colors, organic and sustainable.


A book of Magic and Dreams at Soft Gallery - could not resist this dark velvet top.


Christina Rohde in a decadent miks of beautiful bright colors and flowers on print and in vase!


LuckyBoySunday alway a fun visit in so many ways.


New inspiring brand from Barcelona Spain "Weekend house kids" designed by Cristina, so much fun, great quality and all made in Spain.


New wallpapers from Ferm living kids, illustrated by Katie Scott with beautiful animals. Rugs for the floor or wall (on the back of the rug, is a strap to hang the carpet), inspired by  sea creatures, for the kids room or for the bathroom.

Earth colors at Liewood - Cat rug and Panda lunch box in soft silicone.



Exit Ciff youth!

Ciff kids 2018

Back in August I went to Ciff kids in Copenhagen to get inspired, see news and trends, the trade is mostly kids clothes, which is full of so many great news, but my interest is more in interior and accessories for kids.

Leo Leo:

First stop was Leo Leo a new brand started by Emil and Josefine, a family business that started with the cuddle teddy Lion, for soon after to involve duvet covers and soft books, hand drawn watercolour by Emil from his childhood. In the future Leo Leos adventure continues in an old bus taking the whole family to Portugal, where they expect to live and expand their brand with a line of kids clothing. Follow their journey to Portugal @leoleojournal and their brand @leoleocopenhagen and for much more about their story and thoughts behind Leo Leo

blogging again.......

After creating an instagram profile in 2012 and becomming a daily user of instagram, my use of blogs, visiting blogs and blogging my self have been decreased dramatically. In some ways I miss blogging, but have not have the right focus. So I will try start blogging again.

Starting with a small trip to Copenhagen. In Store Strandstræde old and new shops, cafes and restaurants, have over the past years been popping up, plus some heavy renovations has made the street blooming again.
Beutiful old buildings have made it possible to create a overall feeling of the streets of Paris. It is a tucked behind the famous Nyhav (New Harbour) and easy to miss. Well a month ago I went there and found the great shop StudioXviaduct (pop up shop - kind off - been there for almost a year now) check their instagram for details in case they move before you go there. (they have now moved to Dronningens Tværgade 50.) Here is what I saw:


Lucky to meet Blomsterbar and talk about the love for flowers and organic life. 

 

a woolen heart for your love

I love Wollfiller and their ideas. My best woolen cardigan has prolonged its life several years because of their ideas.Today Design Sponge feature a series about DIY hearts one of them is how to make woolen hearts for valentine day. Super idea why not take your loved ones beloved old sweater and add a heart any color any shape - just for the love. Old or new sweater will still be full of love. Take a look here at Woolfilller or over at Design Sponge. 

weekend fun

We have too many apples, even if we give to friends and family. So now we started our own little Apple juice farm. The taste of freshly pressed apples is amazing and is plenty reward for the hard work of collecting, cutting and squeezing.

walls of greens

Today I saw this vertical garden/small space organization and I thought what a great way to combine the to things. It seems that Urbio is a very flexible organizing system that easily can bee integrated in your home or office. (via)

mall art

Amazing what you can do with all the trash that a Mall produces. The artists have made an amazing landscape made of hangers, plastic bottles, bobble wrap, cans and more. the landscape starts at the bottom of the sea where the fish lives, and the landscape raises as you work your way up in the Mall and end up with the top of the threes. read more about the project here.(via)

newspaper wood

How brilliant - take a look at these drawers - the "end" is made of newspaper where the layerd newspaper make a strukture like wood, as its original form. Love the idea - and the design is also beautiful.(via)

fun at the coffee table

Lets have fun at the coffee table - i love the idea of sitting around this table and shred paper and think about all the fun you could have with the shredded paper afterwards.  

recycled floorboards from the gym

So beautiful it looks this cabinet made out of old floorboards - so full of history from the Gymnasium. The cabinet is also available in a new mass produced series - check it out.

spring cleaning

It's time for spring cleaning some will say - but any way you will probably stumble over a single hand glove among all the winter clothes that need to bee stored for winter. In stead of throwing it out, here's a recycle idea that will give the glove new life and smiling kids.

 

eco-freindly potty at CPH kids

The Danish company Puregreeen had this great potty (becopotty) on the CPH kids trade show in Copenhagen. I would loved to have had this potty for my three kids and then put it on the compost to be "eaten" after end mission.
