currently looking into...

mmm, that looks rather light and elegant, don't you think?

equally the beauty and proplem with those shelves is that there are zillions of combinations...

mad about the copper (3)

architects from berlin have developed this thin sheet of metal grid that can easily be formed into a bowl. you get it flat and form it yourself to your liking.
 
shown here is the gold version, but it also comes in copper, and that's the one i have in mind to order.

mad about the copper (2)

this pendant lamp has been smiling to me since the show of last september...

the damage is (around) chf 295.- it's quite worth it, don't you think? 

i might just fall for that copper pendant light end of january, anyone else? if yes, you can let me know with an email here:

mad about the copper

first day on the job this year... 

sadly the cafe neighbouring the shop is closed until next monday (oh, the lazy bums! or is it just me being stupid for turning up today at all?) so no peacable coffee sipping in front of the computer today i'm afraid.

i haven't told you yet, but i went to see my family in danemark over christmas and as usual i pored over my aunt's home magazines for hours (with coffee and cookies, mind you! oh, i'm so in withdrawal!) and apart from seeing a lot of familiar home accessories i sell in the shop i also came across new things i mean to buy for the shop. bah, for you!

looks like i'm continuing on my weird trip (hankerchiefs, napkins, coasters) of things i would never have thought i would select for the shop and now, you saw it coming: i'm meaning to buy this thermos flask, or vacuum jug, as they call it.

it's a danish classic, but what's new now and what i like about it is the copper tone. i usually never speak of trends because that's boring and quite unnecessary for home accessories but i find i'm really drawn to this trend. copper is so cool!!! i want.

two more items in copper have left a mark on my retina, read about them next week.

sneak-peek

first look at the new vases that i'm planning to order as soon as they're available.

click on the image for a closer look. more pics to come.

reminder: please note that the shop is closed this week!

tough decisions

i'm not sure i would dare paint a wall in charcoal black, but it does look amazing. 

had i one more room (shop or home)... then perhaps. all the colours are enhanced against this dark background (if you have enough light that is).

also i'm tempted by these boxes. maybe it's got to do with my phantasy (and utterly unreachable goal) of a clear desk. to throw all the knick-knacks on your desk into the box: easy peasy. but certainly i look less commanding when i poor the contents on the floor to find what i'm looking for? 

would YOU buy a box?? i've got my finger on the trigger.

btw: i also like the neon pink tape for a collage. available in the shop of course!

no, seriously...

certainly there must be something wrong with me psychologically if i want to start children's clothes again???

had i a few more square meters to spare in the shop...

i'm currently in contact with this swedish company, i'll let you know if something's in the making.

blue but not in a sad way

two days ago i was contacted by a company for african textiles... with a norwegian creative director... that makes  for a good north-south shake-up!

have a nice weekend everybody, sunnier days are waiting for us for sure :-)
