{1} Styled by Rodrick Hipskind {2} The workshed of Roald Dahl
{3} Styled by Louise Svensson {4} Essay table by Danish designer Cecilie Manz
{5} Workspace of a Brooklyn architect {6} Desk perfection, photo from Abandunce I like it when buttons, these objects that can be extremely functional and completely decorative at the same time, turn up in unexpected places.
{1} Vintage button collage by Multistory {2} Button tableware by Greener Grass Design {3} Studio Ditte wallpaper {4} Wooden buttons from photographer Ditte Isager {5} Beatrix sofa by Swedish designer, Anna Kraitz. Lite-Brites, Hungarian folk painting and chalkboards… Black backgrounds for colour can be amazing and distinctly non-somber.

{3} Still-life photography by Kari Herer, available for purchase through her Etsy shop {4} Avalanche by Dutch artist Maurice Scheltens

Flor & Marmo n’est pas un obscur groupe indie suédois, mais plutôt une association heureuse de finis de plancher: les tuiles de tapis Flor et le marmoleum. Ces deux matières partagent des avantages séduisants: écologique, résistant et palette inspirante. Une mention spéciale au site de Flor: 1. Il est possible de commander en ligne ( USA et CANADA) 2. Il est possible de se procurer des échantillons à moindre coût avant d’acheter 3. Leurs photos sont bien souvent très inspirantes Usually I think of wicker purely in terms of being the enemy of leotards, but every now and then a great woven object comes along and makes me reconsider. Here are some examples.
{1} Sculpture by Sophie Ryder {2} Traditional Finnish market basket revisited by designer Harri Koskinen
{3} Campana Brothers, from their Transplastic Series {4} Strandkörb, traditional German-Dutch beach chairs, photographed by Matt Buckhurst
{5} Playful woven lampshades by Made in Mibre of Chili {6} Installation by Patrick Dougherty
{7} Spanish Pavilion of the World Expo Shanghai 2010 by Miralles/ Tagliabue EMBT {8} Great reading chair by Schoenhuber Franchi, Italy.
Aaaaaaah, le laminé Formica c’est le souvenir de ces cuisines vintage dans les tons pastels, de tables rétro aux petites étoiles dorées ou plus récemment et moins joyeux, des motifs de comptoir mouchetés. Mais maintenant, la compagnie offre un choix de plus en plus grand de teintes unies.
{1} Retro Formica Ad via {2} Hvass & Hannibal {3} Cuisine sur Emmas blog {4} inconnu {5} Sideboard Abdul Ghafoor {6} Summery Kitchen via Remodelista A good old fireplace and a stack of wood, once a necessity in this part of the world, seem like luxury items these days. As someone who spent an entire childhood knocking about in the woodpile with my brother, I am consistently drawn to projects inspired by a good stack of wood. Design you can smell just by looking at it.
{1} Magical hidden music studio by Piet Hein Eek {2} Offices of Portland-based design studio, Parliament {3} Incredible farmhouse renovation by Propeller Z Architects of Wien {4} Photography by the very talented James Merrell {5} Re-purposed staircase by Jan Korbes {6} Beekeeping boxes.  |
