NEW DESIGN______________________ a bird

Today opens the first gastro hotel Pm in Växjö Sweden and it´s also the first one in Scandinavia. And for this hotel I have had the assignment to design a new object that would match my pyramids. The result was this geometrical shape in brass called bird. The inspiration for the bird came from the Japanese art form origami, where you fold paper into three-dimensional objects. The objects will look a little bit different on how to place them and how the light reflects on to them and is also works as a bookend.

INTERIOR ______________________ something new

There´s always happening something new or just something with my interior. And I just noticed that I haven´t posted a picture about our new brass lamp in the living room. As usually we are doing and testing our prototypes ourselves first in our home. So,so far this is only a prototype. I am going to London next week just to catch up some new inspiration and hopefully visit some design studios. So if you have good advices on what I should not miss while I´m there I´m more than happy to hear about it, just send me an email. annaleena@annaleena.se Thanks in advance!

T.S ___ news _______________whatever!

Tomorrow will Therese Sennerholt launch her new card collection whatever on her webshop, that I had the privilege to style and photograph at Delight Studios. Here´s a sneekpeak of the result!

VEILED LADY ___________by Damien Gernay

I just stumbled over this raw minimalist lamp designed by Belgium based designer Damien Gernay. The lamp collection that includes a floor light, table lights and chandelier is inspired by a mushroom called veiled lady. But the designer describes the lamp design more like an organic anarchy. And what makes it more organic is that each piece is sculpted by hand.

ACCESSORIES ___________________________ hay

As a interior stylist/blogger I browse through every day lots of great pages on the internet and see so many good stuff that I never post about. That´s why I have started now a new label here on the blog called accessories.

The uncrowned king of accessoarier is definitely Danish hay. Although their brand is wide with a solid furniture collection, it is the little accessories that everyone can afford, that has made the brand so famous and loved among non interior interested too. In my own collection of hay I have bought the scissors, golden clips and the round mirror which I use as props to my stylist assignment.

PRODUCTS__________ book hanger/magazine holder

This book hanger that is designed by furniture student Sanna Trotsman and sold exclusively at Lotta´s shop has finally found its place also on my wall. It is one of those love-at-first-sight products, super cool wall detail that is not only practical but also has a strong aesthetic form. Love it!

INTERIOR __________ cursive clothing hanger

A new home needs new storing solutions! In the lack of clothing storage in our new home we made recently a cursive clothing hanger there. So far this cursive model is only a prototype but it may come to production later this spring / summer.

DESIGN _______muuto talent award

I just received a mail about the winner in Muuto talent award. For the sixt time Muuto has hosted the annual competition where talents from the Nordic design schools are encouraged to submit an entry where they express their own story while providing a perspective on a Muuto product.  The 1st place went to Finnish designer Tuomas Auvinen from Lahti University of Applied Sciences, for his 45° lamp. The shape of 45° allows it to hang from the ceiling, lie on the floor or be placed in the corner where the ceiling and the wall meet, which gives it a multi-functionality that is hard to compete with. 45°is capable of exploiting the spaces that are somewhat used less, and more than other interiors it almost becomes part of the room or buildning, which creates a certain magic.

MONDAY SNAPSHOTS ____________delight studios

Last Friday I visited Therese Sennerholt in her office (for some chatter and coffee) that is in the famous Delight studios. But the day became instead a fun and creative photo day where we took amazing pictures of both of us. Therese brought the white balloons and I took my camera with me. Here is the first part of the images that we photographed in Delight studios where "all the magic happens". 

/Big thanks to Delight Studios.

ONE PIC_____________ more color

I have been privileged to work last week with Jotun's new global color card shooting in Stockholm, and i´m more convinced than ever that I want to add some new soft colors in my home. 

INSPIRATION ____________ brass/ nail/ knob

 Love my new brass knobs from House Doctor, such a perfect "nail" look-a-likes.

ONEPIC. ______________ #stylingcompetition

If you are in instagram there's a hashtag you don´t wanna miss. It began with an innocent styling competition between Lotta Agaton and her art director. But has grown into a giant contest where even Sweden's best art direcor Therese Sennerholt and American blogger A merry mishap who runs one of America's most popular life style blogs are in the race! But despite the name (styling competition) it is only a creative game between great talent´s showing a new styled picture everyday. Search with hashtag #stylingcompetition and see all great contributions yourself! My instagram is @annaleenashem.

INTERIOR ______________ new home

Here comes more pictures from our new home. The base is still the same that we used in our old house bright and white. But I am tempted to add some color that will look great against the white, show you what I mean later, now have a nice weekend everyone!
