MONDAY SNAPSHOTS /// the process

Monday snapshots are back! I always enjoy reading articles and see pictures from different type of manufacturing processes. So today I´ll show few pictures from the process of how my products are made. From moodboard on my wall to a finished product to the customer. You can also read more of my thoughts about design and creativity at eget rom blog that belongs to the former chief editor of Elle decoration Norway, Helle Tjaberg. The interview is in Norwegian and Swedish and you can read the article here.

DIY ________ paper clip

Those of you who have followed my blog for a while know that I love remaking things! To do something with stuff that is useless. I already showed a sneak peek yesterday on my instagram this light diy that I made by using broken mirror pieces and a large paper clip. If you liked this, you will find more really cool and creative paper clip inspiration here and here.

INSPIRATION _______ changes

Every year at the beginning of the new year when I´m taking down all the Christmas decorations, I begin to organize and move things around. I like to keep it simple, not too simple but just so that the details that I like are more visible. So far I have done just some small changes, like when I moved my frameless mirror next to the tube light. It felt like a good start.

FOR CHRISTMAS ____________

Christmas is the best time I know and I will never get tired of giving Christmas gifts and getting some as well! And I've already got one of my Christmas gifts that I wished for, time for myself. I wanted to have few undisturbed days, just to do what I wanted to do. Like my own a mini-vacation. So earlier this week I took the train to Stockholm. I hade time to buy some Christmas presents and meeting my brother and friends. I ate lunch together with my mentor Lotta Agaton and got so inspired of just talking to her. I met Emma Fexeus and joined her ​​when she got her tattoo at my brother's newly opened tattoo studio La roibe Noir. So I've already got the most important gift this Christmas, time with people I value and time for myself. But yes of course there are some things on my wish list too!

DEKO __________ my christmas home

As I mentioned in previous post my Christmas home is featured this month in Finnish interior magazine called Deko. I love Deko magazine and I think it communicates the Finnish design/interior style amazingly well and makes it relevant even to international audience! The story is coordinated and written by Jonna Kivilahti and photographed by me. Jonna has even a blog called MRS Jones where you can find more pictures from the story. Published in Deko (no 84) december 2012

INSPIRATION ______ Transparent Picture Frame

I´m having a serious crush right now for interior stuff made of plastic and perspex! I just love the transparent and light feeling with the material and that you can see throug it. Like when used acrylic meny holder as a picture frame for my boy´s initials, it looks like the characters almost floats in the air. I love that!
