SMOKED GLASS headboard

Contrast work

Husräddarna is the tv program on tv3 Sweden, where we help families rebuild their homes after the nightmare of a fire. 

The families houses are rebuilt and then complete the home and do the interiors.  

This is the master bedroom of the family of the first episode 2015. As an interior designer helping the family I work with them for a long time to find out what it is they go for interior wise. 

Here is the result.

Clever storage from Interstil with drawers all around.

ByRydens industrial lights and Mimou pillows

Seat by Interstil, table from Atelje Alt. Messagebox from Bxxlght

STAY IN BED. YES DO! Curtain made from Marimekko fabric Moments.

Black and hues of white in pillows from Mimou. 

Wall light and a painted branch as deco.

Glass as a headboard set in sturdy reused logs painted black from Lövsjö Loghouse

Pillows with a message from Mimou.

As you come in the door to the bedroom you see the whole room through the smoked glass headboard.

Please be seated.

Black against white creates a dramatic contrast.

It´not a big bedroom but it has all that´s needed+extra comfort in a great bed. Embroidered covers from Mimou.

Black&white is just right.

Room for play&rest

A rainbow colored slide and a room for play and rest is what the familes 5 year old son wanted in Husräddarna, tv3 Sweden. I had so much fun creating this room. THANK YOU SIMON!

Red bendable snake looking clip lights from ByRydéns

When you enter the room a large image of a tractor behind a plexiglass set with grips to climb meets you. On the floor a mattress and pillow if you feel like jumping back down.

The train hanger from Maze is a favorite

Ryds plexiglass along with logs from Lövsjö Loghouse made it possible to climp up the tractor.

N O R T H modern and ME

Clever and new type of stand with shoebox

I spent the day at Copenhagen´s North Modern Fair in August and since I am the laziest blogger alive here is my belated recollection from my walks in this beautiful space for exhibiting called Bella Center, a name that sounds like a Beauty Parlor (yes I know what Bella means in Italian...)  but is really THE perfect place to host fairs...like North Modern.

Love these new editions of Wegner´s masterpieces

Funny -- you say --well this is not new! Correct!! I just love when good design is remade and reused and made in new updated versions. Good design is always good design.

Wegner magic from PP

Detaling that makes you marvel

Just seeing the details of the wood meeting the seams and the meticulous work that has been done. LOVE IT!

The Well proven stool has a brother...or sister - IT´s a CHAIR

So sorry for this NOT such a good picture but....I really go for this stone looking but being a foam-ish created chair from Pleasewaittobeseated

Wallbox from Please wait to be seated

Storage boxes in a way I have not seen and like the individual feel they create.

Ferm Living plant tables

Since plants are growing increasingly important there is no wonder that we crave furniture to keep them in, hence the revival of the plant table from Ferm living

Marvel at more and more Marble in all areas in interiors

Tonone lamps in all versions I like

Capello light 

Inspired by the classic Arcolamp by Castiglioni Cappello saw the light of creation from design work from Molodesign

Molodesign have created the delicate dancing light Capello

H A N G on to ERIK NYSTRÖM

Earlier this year I told how impressed I was with Hang On here on the BLOG from the second of Feb after I saw it at the Furniture Fair in Stockholm.  

I knew that this unique product was going to make it. 
I told designer Erik Nyström that I really liked Hang On that I would buy it, use it  and really hoped it would come into production. 

I invited a few different Swedish companies that I thought was the right ones to see Hang on and meet Erik, BUT instead he found interest and production elsewhere with smarter more design focused entrepreneurs. 

IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY when clever new designers make it with new and unique interpretations of design and art all in one.

The only problem with Hang On is that you will never really understand it until you see it.
So until you have the pleasure of seeing it IRL here are the words of the designer himself describing Hang on : 

With this hanger, I want to play with the ideas and images we associate with different objects. In a world where our experience of designed products mainly builds upon two-
dimensional images, I want to encourage the interaction with these objects in the physical, three-dimensional space.

When we interact with an object and view it from different angles, new functions and qualities emerge; we might discover a hidden depth that shatters our preconceptions of the object.

This hanger is supposed to provide the observer some food for thought. I want to show you the benefits of meeting an object in all three dimensions.

Hang On is made out of 15 x 15 mm quadrat steel pipe which is cut and welded, then it is treated with a powder coating. This furniture comes with a set of holes on the backside for easy mount on the wall.

21.00 hemma hos DIG 

eller när du vill på www.tv3play.se 

 21st of September at 21.00 is the start of the new season. 

La vie en rose my way

A toast to the first rose bloom is in place.

Caged beauty.

Roses ARE red

Where I live in Southern Sweden it feels like fall is around the corner, but for many summer is in full swing still.  

Last summer I tried to use different types of techniques to help my rose expand but not take over the front terrace and looked for many type of ready made products to let the rose grow with support but show off well. 

For me the best result and the look I really go for was the cheapest solution. 

A reinforcement mesh bent into place and attached well gave the rose bush all the support it needed and provided the perfect look to fit the Stable.

Next time instead of going out to get something that will not fit perfectly and cost more than it needs to, If you have roses like me that grow out of proportion in that wonderful way we all love or any other plant that needs some guidance, just use reinforcement mesh. 

Used otherwise for cement solutions of all kinds they are already used as well as noticeboards just like we have in our workshop at Husräddarna, Tv3 Sweden and which new season starts the 21st of Sept at 21.00 

See you soon
