What's up with Swedish designers? They manage to do it so so right! Like Rika, who has made these star-embellished leather bags for a couple of years now and I can't get tired of them, it's so simple and appealing..aaaargh.

d-bros



apart from the name, which to me, sounds like a comic figure or a not so bad gangster, Japanese D-bros is synonymous with beautiful and gracious products. Like this ribbon-calendar and the brooch ever lasting.

New from Doshi Levien




I'm so so in love with Doshi Levien, everything they design is so utterly human and still pretty, full of history and fairytales.
This is their new projects for Moroso, which were presented on the Milan furniture fair this year.
My beautiful backside, is a seating collection with a pebblelike back, which seems to float in the air. Gorgeous!
You have to surf their website, to see the details of this, and the wonderful new daybed Principessa, seen on the last drawing. Principessa is a daybed who consists of many thin matresses, inspired by HC Andersens tale of Princess and the Pea. As with their earlier Charpoy, this divan is also beautifully embroidered. It is full of added symbols, and everyday objects.

Hannes Wettstein

These gardenchairs, designed by Hannes Wettstein for Maxdesign, are really nice- I like the long legs and square top.

eco beauty


love this Legend-table from roche bobois. Its part of their range called eco-conception, which in this case means it's created from sustainable forests, cut within the grain, assembled without the use of hardware, glue or stains - and finished with a water base varnish. Got to love that!
And since we're in roche bobois-land, I had to show you the Route de the- staircase, I've been dreaming of this one for some years now, it's inspired by the traditional Chinese staircabinets, which was made of different parts, so that it could be easily moved. It's just so warm and soulful, don't you think?

These 16 stamps, designed by Derry Noyes, will be released this summer.

4-pli

4-pli is a young architectural firm based in williamsburg. I love their Puzzle Conference Table, it's made of seven individual desks that puzzle together to make a large conference table. I can't imagine any shady deals happening around this baby- it's too nice for that. 4-pli makes an effort to participate in the whole process from the paper to the finished product- which must be satisfying, when the products come out this nice.

Salta Kvarn



Have you ever, I mean EVER, seen such beautiful packaging on beans and flour? And even better it's from the ecological and biodynamic foodproducer Salta Kvarn, who has been spreading their wonderful swedish products since 1964. Much love to Karin Huber who designed these jewels for our kitchencabinet.

Underwater love


Aqua Creations, established in '94, features the gorgeous lighting creations of designer and artist Ayala Serfaty.
Based in Tel-Aviv, Aqua Creations reaches worldwide with offices and showrooms around the world. You seriously need to surf their website- the lighting reminds me, not only of the obvious underwater-fauna, but also of asian 60's esthetics, probably because of the material choice, silk, and the colour scheme.

Dumbo

I love elephants, and I love Eames, but still..I feel like I should have a kid to excuse buying one of these darlings. The plywood elephant was designed in 1945, and Vitra produced a strictly limited edition, to celebrate the 100th birthday of Charles Eames (june 17,2007).

Jaime Hayon



I love when art and interiordesign merge together, and no one does it better these days than spanish artist/designer/genius Jaime Hayon. He works both with artistic installations as well as designing interior, but one is not separated from the other. His cartonesque take on traditional furniture is just what we need!
I want to show dozens of pictures of his stuff- cuz I love all of it. But click the link and surf trough his projects, good enough too eat!YUM!
