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.

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?

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.

happy birthday to me..

I heart the componibili-series from Kartell. The series designed by Anna Castelli Ferrieri more than thirty years ago, are so versatile- they can be used for any purpose anywhere in your home. I finally got one, (a round small one) from my sister for my birthday, and I couldn't be happier- I use it as a nightstand and it's perfect! Thanks sis!

String

I finally found the perfect shelvingsystem for my cd's. The String system was originally made in 1949 by the swedish arhitect Nisse Strinning, but as it proves- it's timeless.
The system is a simple "ladder" climbing up the wall, and you can combine shelves however you like.
I bought the String pocket, which is the perfect size for cd's, pocketbooks or dvds.
It comes in several colours and types, including String plex, replacing the ladder with plexiglass-sides. Lovely.

BCXSY

Just stumbled across this great designduo. Know nothing about them, except I'm loving their stuff! They've designed a collection of furniture and lighting called Play!, which is created around recognizable childhood-motifs, like their swing lamp (above).
I also love their see saw bookshelf, and their play! coffee table. Check it out! Picture borrowed from BCXSY

Nido chair

I love this chair!!!!I know Patricia Urquiola has made tons of good stuff, but this is my absolute favourite! Upholstered with a hand weave in wool for the indoors, and in rope for the outdoors. I just love the BIG size, yet soft form of it. Can't you imagine lounging in this darling, reading tons of books, having a nap, then waking up to read more.aahhhhh!
The Nido chair is designed together with Eliana Gerotto, and manufactured by Paola Lenti

wishlist

Since I've just started this blog, what better way then to start it off with listing a couple of things that I want, need and can't live without..
No.1 Eames Eames Eames, I want everything that couple ever made - but on the top of my eameslist are these two,
the LCW in walnut and the RAR rocking chair in blue fiberglass.sigh!



I dream of this simple daybed from habitat . I don't like sofas, so if I buy this one, my Ikea-monstersofa is out the door!

If, on the other hand I stumbled over a truckload of dineros, I might consider this faaaaaaaaaaaabulous modular sofa from rochebobois in the even more fabulous fabrics from Missoni home. The sofa is called Mah Jong. Don't you love?

autumn dreams..

I love Doshi Levien design , and for Moroso, they've now made these wonderful daybeds called Charpoy (means 'four legs').
I need one now!
