Found this great inspiration on Elle Decor today. An exceptionally well-balanced colourful decor, with a number of art-deco reminiscences. The loft belongs to fabric designer – Kazumi Yoshida.

Striped shelf

Posted: 25. February 2011 in Design, Wish list

Many layers of plywood and the right choice of the inner colour later and the Strip has been born from the hands of an Irish designer – Martin Gallagher. …Strip is yet another great idea for a space saving shelving and storage system for a hall or living room. Keys, glasses, mobile phones or even [...]

Do you like it bright and light?

Days become longer…ok,  I agree, just a little bit longer but still I do feel the small tiny drops of energy somebody adds to my tea every day. Or maybe it’ all seems so nice and relaxed because I’ve been to one of my favourite group training programmes today: BodyFlow at fitnessdk? In any case [...]

…that will help you keep track of your keys. Cloud by Duncan Shotton is simple and practical. Have you noticed that hanging keys imitate rain falling from the cloud? A really cute little thing that can hold up to 220 grams of weight.

No wonder this table is called Stiletto!!! I mean; honestly…have you ever seen something similar? Splinter Works is behind this work – inspired by elegant curves of a lady high-heel shoe. Splinter is sexy and girly, yet so tasteful! …the high-heel-table even features the characteristic Christian Louboutin red shoe-sole. What not to love?

What a fantastic and elegant; classic and still so contemporary…timeless. I love the way these furniture pieces match even though they come from three totally different designers. The magazine holder that can also serve as a side table …and a bench (Yes! It is that strong!) is made of cardboard, aluminium and wood. A design [...]

Did you really think I would leave for Africa without sharing some inspirational posts here on the blog??? Well, then you were wrong! …you can still wish me a really good journey though! Anyway, what you see below is hand picked shots of a Dutch home of architect Arjen Reas. I especially wanted to share [...]

What more do you need?

Look what I found in my scrapbook today! A tiny apartment that has it all. 40m2 do not seem to constitute a large space… my own is appr. 80m2 and I wonder every day why it is so difficult to agree with myself that it IS enough …do you know this feeling? So 40m2 is [...]

What really matters…

My dear Friend and blog follower! I figured that climbing the ‘lonely mountain’ Kilimanjaro in Africa, which I’ll be doing starting on February, the 13th, should serve some higher purpose than just reaching the summit itself. I have a strong wish that my efforts and struggles can help those in need; poor, ill, malnourished, forsaken [...]

After a madly busy week I finally have a minute to come by and share a little bit of nature-inspired lighting solutions with you, guys. Let’s have a look at the horse lamp from Mooi. The first time I saw it was in a shop in the heart of Cophenhagen. It was love at first sight…but [...]
