HAY / _______ gym

Somehow I've always had this passion for sporty gymnastics environments, and it has not decreased after my daughter started at gymnastics. Therefore, these gym hooks /Hay designed by Staffan Holm was true love at first sight! You can not find more unique, sporty, playful and more creative hangers that these! 

PEPE HEYKOOP ___________ design matters

One of my Formex favorites this year was the beautiful Paper vase cover by designer Pepe Heykoop. The vases are cooperation with Tiny Miracels that provides the poor people education and workshops how to produce highend design. Design matters when a product is produced in a community where it makes a diffrence.  styling/photo/Annaleena Karlsson

YLVA SKARP_________________ aw14

My first stylings assignment after the holiday´s were to style Ylva Skarps aw14 news. I picked the inspiration for the styling from her strong ties and love for the forest and raw materials. /More on her web site Ylva Skarp! Styling/photo/ Annaleena Karlsson

La petite mag ______________

I just received the latest copy of La petite magazine in the post and I love it! I have styled a tweenie rum for this issue and I hope it will give you some inspiration how to transform children´s  rooms to a tweenie room. 

More pictures of it on my Residence blog and I will show the DIY I made for the issue with full instructions here later. 

RIGHT NOW.

Some detail pictures from my home, nothing new just as we have it right now.

DECORATE _________________ less is always more

When it comes to decorations in my home, I choose always less is more.

Not because I don´t like many things but only because I think it is easier to find stuff. 

Decorating with few things gives also more calming expression and less details to look at. And with less stuff in front at a time, highlights all your favorite things. Here´s some of mine favorites right now.

/wall paint. Jotun color (antikgrå)

/marble ask. Lotta Agaton shop

/mirror. Ikea

STENHUGGARDOTTERN ____________ stone/ marble plates

Beautiful things don´t just happen. Neither did this gorgeous plate of limestone. It is a product of generational genuine craftsmanship, where the father has been running a stonemasonry as his father and now the creative daughter Josefine has used their knowledge of the stone and taken it to the next level and started to make these beautiful stone plates. The plates are available in two different designs in limestone and Carrara marble. Gotta love the limestone! More pictures on their home page here.

T O O G O O D

When I was in London I had the opportunity to visit the amazing Studio Toogood and just to experience THE Toogood headquarters. The thing that hit me first there was that the Studio Toogood looked exactly like the design Toogood that you only get to see through pictures! 

I was so enthusiastic about this visit and it exceeded all my high expectations. The entire Toogood studio was bubbling of creativity and relaxed sense of togetherness. Though the label Toogood is so hyped in the design sphere, their autonomous and at the same time collective way of working impressed me. They created their own Toogood world where there is a group of genuinely nice and cool people behind it all. Thank you Studio Toogood, Faye and Erica for having me there, I really enjoyed every minute to be with you and shooting these photos!
