Love clever ideas that aim at reducing our environmental footprints.
Just look at Swedish designer Helena Hörstedt's old IKEA armchair -
transformed into a dramatic, unique chair! Great!

Höst - Autumn in Copenhagen
Beautiful images from the new Danish restaurant called Höst (Autumn).
Very Wabi Sabi!
It's Norm Architects who is responsible for the interior design of Höst. This is how they describe their philosophy behind this work: Norm – in close cooperation with Danish designhouse Menu – has created an organic environment in an urban setting. Guests enter into a warm and inviting space and are met with the unmistakable sense of Scandinavian cosiness, while everything is also a bit weathered. Materials that age gracefully are in focus – recycled wood that has washed up on the west coast, granite in uneven pieces, concrete with clear structures and deviations, old cast iron and dented zinc. All of this is offset by a warm trickling light, soft wool rugs and lambskin.
I found these images via Emma Fexéus,
who also did the styling for these photos. Beautiful!
Sunday softness
Today I feel like a mix of soft pastels.

Living like Lotta II
Remember my blogpost about Swedish stylist Lotta Agaton's Stockholm apartment here?
Now she has moved. But she is true to her style.
It's the same colors scheme (black and white)
and most of her old designer items are there.
Quality last.
These pictures are from the December issue of RUM.
Personally I love all the big, green plants,
which add a soft feel to the edgy monochrome style
which we are familiar with in her prop styling.

Vintage elegance

Great photo of vintage seats in a simple, yet elegant space.
The space in between
Yup, I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
I LOVE German stylist/photographer and let me say artist
She knows the great still life masters.
Like Morandi.
She is a master of in between space.
Just watch these arrangements.
It's not easy to work with an "empty" spaces.
Most people aren't even aware of them...
But Dietlind Wolf knows her craft.
In these examples, from her blog, she plays with creases and lines
to create interest in the "empty" space between the objects.
Masterful!
All images found at her blog.
