Some time ago I went to a trade fair where I saw this great year calendar – such a ”simple” idea and yet a great idea, for the slow living life.
I guess the inspiration was from a pages from a good old note book.
Take control of next year's many plans - se them all and more here: Yearcalendar
When I arrived at Formland this summer – I had a pleasant surprise when I entered the hall where the essence of Hay talent award was situated.
33 talented designers were displaying their design, in a different and very inspiring way. Each design had its own house. The house had two sections, one where the design was displayed, and in the other end a sleeping and work area. Each plywood house came with a bed, desk, duvet covers, lamp, chair, hanger and a shelf (all HAY design)
How the designer and in some case designers, wanted to display and style their house was up to them. The result was apart of amazing new designs, also a great way of styling a small home and small workspaces.
During the 4 days long fair the designers lived at the fair in “their houses”.
1. example of the house, 2-3. Charlotte Kristine Kristiansen, 4. great desk space, 5. Stine Keinicke Jensen, 6-7. Studio Fem, 8-10. Renaud Defransesco & Cyrill Verdon 11-15. One of the winners: Hannah Waldron, for her woven tapestry: Hand in Cloud 16. the other winner: Joel Hoff, for his industrial Switch Light.
A while ago I blogged for the danish magazine Vi forældre
(now closed) and blogged about Umlauts great confetti stickers. Today it is a
different news, a reinterpretation of a wall hanger. This wall hanger consist
of metal rings in a copper finish, that remind me of a fishing net with
S-hooks, for your coat, keys.... A quite decorative hanger.
Have you ever wondered about how you could preserve the beauty of the light seeds of the dandelions? Well, I have plenty of times - and then a couple of weeks of ago in London, Islington, at the great design shop Twentytwentyone I saw this beauty from "Hafod grange" and fell in love. And now I can admire its beauty every day.
I am working my way through the piles on my desk, and hope that I will end up with an organized table like this. And then again, a little mess is hard for me to get around, it is like dust, it keeps coming back. I am inspired anyway.
The talented girls from Siterbrandt have opened a shop where you can get your hands on some of these lovely notebooks and postcards.
The mild winter defiantly make you want to drive your bike a lot more than normally during winter, if I did not have my youngest daughter on the back of bike I would love one of these bags to carry home the groceries. se more great product from Georges et Rosalie
Journeys to write about, to keep as a memory, or just to keep track of it. For that I would love to use this book by Sharilyn Wright. Every book is handmade and every page hold its own story, some comes from recycle bins, some from China, even from Copenhagen. Just love her work and the idea, found her shop again, going down memory lane in all my bookmarks. Happy weekend.
For some reasons tissue boxes have to have wave print in bright colors, I would love if they made them in single color. In the meantime this whale will help me make my tissuebox look a lot greater.
