THE CLOAKROOM _______faye toogood









My personal highligt during the London Design Festival was the two-part installation by Studio Toogood : The Cloakroom at Victoria &Albert Museum. The exhibition was so beautiful and it was a collaboration with Highfield by Kvadrat, who's textile was used for the coats. Each coat had a sewn-in map that guided us around the museum. We discovered a series of sculptural garments, all created by Toogood with consideration to the Museum and its collection.

The 150 navigational coats were based on the Oil Rigger Coat, the very first coat that was designed by Toogood. The coats were made by Kvadrat in compressed-foam textile, each one made by hand and therefore unique in its expression. The installation of the coats in materials was non-traditionally used in the fashion industry - such as wood, fibre glass and metal - brought together the two design worlds of furniture and fashion. The coat number 100 of 150 got to move with me to Stockholm.

BACK FROM LONDON








I'm back with Emmie from an amazing week in London! We exhibited at Tent London during the London Design Festival, with a collaboration between ANNALEENA, Ylva Skarp and Lightwork under the name Swedish Hem. You can read more about Swedish hem here. It´s been so exiting, we exhibited our collection RAILS for the first time out of Scandinavia, and the response has been great. Located in the creative Shoreditch, Tent London offered a dynamic mix of up-and-coming designers and established brands, and was inspiring for visitors as well as exhibitors. Here are some pictures from the stand. My visual favorite from Tent London was the café, made of large pipes in paperboard and designed by Helen Hughes studio. Brilliant.

INTERIOR _________finnish summer house








I'm especially weak for Finnish homes and interior design, probably since I have my roots in Finland and have been growing up there. During the spring the lovely Finnish stylist and interior blogger Minna Jonas have renovated her summer house in Finland, and I must say I love the result! A calm oasis, modern but still in line with the nature outside. Very Finnish!

Jag är extra svag för finska hem och inredning, troligtvis eftersom jag har finska rötter och är uppvuxen där. Under våren har den fantastiska finska stylisten och inredningsbloggaren Minna Jonas renoverat sitt sommarhus i Finland och jag bara älskar resultatet. En lugn oas där inredningen känns modern, men ändå smälter samman med naturen utanför. Väldigt finskt!

GREY __________________________











I just came across these pictures from an absolutely amazing home, called Penthouse V.
It's based on the roof structure of a 1930's cinema, and is a holiday home for a family of seven in Pörtschach, Austria.
I surely wouldn't mind having a holiday home like this!

If you want to read more about it go Destilat. Found via.

_____________ soft skin










Im now in some kind of refractive phase with my style, and its good timing cause we are building a new house. But its also a bit challenging because I dont really know how it's gonna be, but the best way always is testing the ideas or colours on a bigger wall. So I did. 
I like to paint both ceilings and walls with the same colour, it becomes more intense and interesting that way. But now I just wanted to test the colour before painting an entire room with it in the new house. I really liked this colour, its not too pink and not too beige. The color is called Soft skin and it comes from Jotun Colour.

OUT NOW ____________







I promised to put this new product up the shop yesterday, but got caught up in some technical difficulties. The less fun part of this job.
But here it is: the magazine holder in brass, handmade of course and perfect to use for showing all these beautiful magazine papers we just can't stop ourselves from buying :)
