GREY.

Sometimes a picture can tell you more than thousands words. I love everything with this location that was under a bridge in Stockholm, we where shooting new pictures there today to webb shop. Can´t wait to start editing them and to show you all the new stuff that is coming to the shop soon.

RESIDENCE ______ shades of pastel

The latest issue of Residence is now out in stores, where my inspiration work is featured. The aim was to capture the light and calm shades of pastel, which I find contrast beautifully to the dark fall weather we're facing these days. My absolute favorite products in the picture are the candlesticks by Stenhuggardottern.

one pic_______________ structure

This picture is from todays photoshoot in a bathroom, taken only a few hours ago. 

I've loved marble for a long time, so much I was sure I would get tired of it.
But I haven't. Its distinct structure still amaze me. To me, it feels vivid, almost as if the material is living its own life!

SALLE DE BAINS _____ latest work pics

Here comes a sneak peek of something that I have been working with lately. Bathroom styling. More of it later... :)

I I T T A L A __________ annaleena + kuukuna

When I was asked to show Iitalas new lamp kuukuna at my blog, I didn't hesitate. Partly because I grew up with Finnish design and the strong clean expression that Iitala represents, but also because Kuukuna lamp is as if created especially for my home and my style. I love the round organic form and the fact that it is handmade by a glass-blower, which gives it high quality as well as a simple and timeless design. I fell for its pleasant design, but especially its light. Kuukuna lamp glows with a unique warm shade when you turn it on.

Kuukuna was originally designed in 1986 by the master craftsman Oiva Toikka and made by expert glass blowers in Iittala’s atmospheric Finnish workshops.  And now Iittala has dug into its archives and decided to resurrect this mouth-blown glass light. Im very happy for that.

OPUS ______________

Earlier this year I was working as set designer for the German clothing brand Opus and for their fall/winter 14 collection. The Opus catalouge and the fashion newsletter was produced by the amazingly talented studio Strada and it was photographed in Stockholm. In the catalogue they included also a few extra pages about me and one of my DIY's, which was fun. I find it interesting to combine interior with fashion, and I would love to participate in more collaborations of that kind in the future.

ONE PIC ___________natural

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
