playing domino

the gold dots of the glasses on the rectangular form of the tray sort of reminded me of domino bricks :-)

well, here is the probably last entry of a new product: the glass with the gold dot on the bottom. the dots are handdecorated in the crystal glass, two shapes, low or high(er). lovely stuff for 14.50/piece.

then a classic: the turning tray with teak wood border. if you turn it over you will find the other side is black. clever and most elegant indeed.

dangerous thoughts

i wish this table would make its way to my home! come to think of it: my office table at home is just a wooden board on trestles... hmmmm.

unfortunately muuto didn't attend the show in paris this time but i saw the table in a shop. it comes in two sizes and 4 colour options (black, white, grey and light green). 

there are also other novelties by muuto that are tempting me. well, actually they're already on my order list :-) more on that at a later stage.

as already mentioned: you're welcome to place orders for muuto products, but be quick! i plan to send off the order by the end of this week.

and because i'm such a fan of the muuto stacked system i'll post yet another picture of that tomorrow (see how organized i am!).

muuto in the house

today i'm going mental and it's all the fault of my camera... all the pictures i take are nearly black (yes, i have taken the shutter off...) and it seems to me that i have pressed all the buttons in all the possible positions...

so friends: instead you get nice pictures of muuto. how about that?

the henceforce (in)famous stacked system and the dot hooks. if any of this inspires you get to me quick because we're soon ready for the next order.

sofa soft mags

majken has ordered the hay mags soft sofa in a slightly slimmer version than the one shown in the first picture.

if you have been looking for a new sofa and pondering on endless possibilites doesn't scare you then ask me for the pdf with the module overview at entrez@leboudoir.ch.

if you're looking for something a bit more formal there is the sister version mags sofa also by hay.

a little still life

the trays from sweden have arrived, here's the small size with the geraniums and butterflies.

for a perfect little gift (without the calories) if you're invited for easter.

there is a larger size and two more designs to chose from.

domestic peace saved

also in my last muuto order: this oak lounge chair. it is so comfortable! i took one home.

the lounge chair can now be tested in the shop. the fringe benefit i have't thought of before: tired (= impatient) boyfriends can be seated while you browse the store in peace of mind.

the lounge chair can also be ordered in various colours (red, green, grey and black).

same but not identical

i'm expecting news from sweden. i have ordered trays made of birch wood. lovely in an old fashioned way.

home run

i'm a big fan of the muuto stacked shelf system and its endless possibilities. often copied but never matched.

simply pile the elements on top of each other or, for a more elegant look, stack them on top of a podium as in the last picture below. you could also hang them on a wall. chose between 3 sizes, with or without backboard, white or ash.

to see all the available elements have a look at the brand new muuto catalogue: http://ipaper.ipapercms.dk/Muuto/MuutoCatalogue/
 
i very much like the idea of using the stacked system as a room divider. for your inspiration 2 examples found on internet (via oliviababycakes and ralphcapper)

i'm the happy owner of 7 elements myself and am planning to add on more bit by bit.

is january your favorite month of the year? 

not really, thought so... january is a drag in the shop: it's the crash after december but still loads of paper work to work off. it's like cold coffee. 

i suspect this is the case for many in my line of business, so most conveniently the trade shows enter center stage in january. so i'm not sad to say that next week i'm off to paris on wednesday evening! 

i'm mentally making notes of my favorite bakeries, restaurants, coffee shops, bars... but i'm also planning on my orders! 

for instance: what do you think of this mobile side table? the trays are made of steel, the legs of ash wood. available in black, white, coral, dark grey, light grey and mint. price tag chf 280.00.

for more info/pictures get back to me at
entrez@leboudoir.ch. orders are welcome until january 24.

sailing food

 




















 




















ceramic bowls on linen and filled with food... what could be more mouthwatering? 

those boat bowls in various sizes and colours are one of the shop classics. i'm soon placing an order for new ones as after christmas i have only one single piece left in small pink. ah, and one pair of the salt&pepper boats in xs size in black and white.

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.

mobile

also available in red for chf 38.-

old friends

these two charming chaps flew away this week; thanks corinna, for sending this picture of the birds!

still one of my favorites of the shop...

food on my mind

have had no lunch today!

portable

 
















give your home a fresh look with the yellow hay dlm table... 

available in the shop.

window sill still live

i spotted the wide blue vase (also available in other colours) in a danish magazine...

currently several pieces are displayed in the front window.

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

new window display

 

every time i make a new window display i try to photograph it from the outside, but invariably i'm disappointed with the result: too much reflection etc. and it's not much better from the inside (too much distracting stuff around, too much backlight). so i usually get desperate and just make random shots in the hope that the one or other will be useable.

all pictures showing the whole window i had to trash, but i rather liked these partial takes...

these ceramic vases have been in my shop top 10 for the past few years. not bad/sad to have a collection like this :-) 

i'll be coming up with pictures shortly to show these ceramic vases "in action".

alien pedestrians at the zebra crossing

more about this... next week.

just bought a ventilator as it gets freaky hot in the shop so customers and i may cool down every once in a while. now all the mobiles are dancing :-)

enjoy the weekend!

nice idea

...if only we had enough space! (you know i can't get enough of the stacked system)

well, if you have, you know you could order here :-)
