Love leaf covered walls [scroll down and see more] and wanted to introduce myself to all of you fun loving & interior inspo interested followers since you now are over 4000 [!!!!] on Instagram, which to me is fantastic
Thank you guys!
My name is Jimmy Schönning & interiors, design & architecture is my work & biggest interest joined with the arts. My arts background in music, dance & theatre brings another vibe to my design.
Working with european musical productions starting in Sweden that soon became multicultured work in Norway, Denmark, Finland and Germany following my Performing Arts studies in the US.
Arts&music is for me an integral part of my design and what I create for my clients. After several years being the Creative Director for jimsch.se which has defined my design, beginning 2020 I will let jimsch.se only sell my design but no longer work with the company.
At my webshop jimmyschonning.com you will find my own design as well as my curated selection of favorite design.
Right now my 💚 is beating for a totally new TV concept that is such a natural continuation of my years working as a host for Design & DIY TV production in Sweden.
In 2020 so much will happen and my man and I will go to work&live in Brazil that I need to tell you more about. Next week is the for business important and inspirational Formex where my design has been & will be exhibited as well as at Stockholm Furniture Fair in Feb I have so much to tell you about what is going to happen but will not make this post into a 📗 so...
Se efter var jag tror att Hanna Wendelbo skulle gilla att jobba. Längst ner.

Salvage Summer Interior Inspo
This interior dream space I call Salvage Summer is so full of botanical beauty inspo completed with precise aesthetics and makes me quite happy just looking at!
The original was made in olive tree wood but this reproduction has been produced in Iroko wood which is also referred to as African teak and is a hardwood from the west coast of tropicalAfrica.
I know the color looks weird but this is what you get on a semicloudy day in Sao Paulo. The intense light so perfectly shaded. Everything pops.Look at Marcello to the far left. He looks pretty spot on colorwise with a slight tan. Also when he crosses his arms like that and looks right at me without speaking I know that I have been spending to much time taking pictures and can we please move on!
Here to see the exhibit on artist, landscape architect and true renaissance man namely Roberto Burle Marx.
So this is Rio de Janeiro on the boardwalk right by Avenida Atlantica by Rua Farme de Amoedo. This pattern here in Ipanema is a continuation of Roberto Burle Marx plan in Copacabana in the 70´s. The pattern that has become the mark of Rio de Janeiro to many.
is where Roberto Burle Marx has created the landscape and sculpture garden that supplies the outstanding backdrop to the building created by one of my favorite Brazilian architects
The sculpture garden at MUBE above ground has temporary exhibit as well as permanent pieces.
The minimalism meeting nature
feeling you get when you see if from
the corner of the park is astounding.
This is a place I want to revisit.
I know that is a weird statement but hopefully the rest of the article will answer the questions you might have.
The black organic shaped flooring is a temporary way of showing the intentions of Burle Marx that were never implemented in the final draft that was part of the exhibit on Burle Marx that just ended a month ago here at MUBE( Sadly I have found not other language then Portuguese in the communication of MUBE so it is museum with NO other language than Brazilian Portuguese online....or on location for that matter)
The museum
is all under ground,
so here we go!
Oh... one more sculpture I fell for before we take the stairs or elevator down to the underground museum of MUBE...
For me the first time I heard about Roberto Burle Marx was when I came to Rio de Janeiro many moons ago.
Burle Marx saw himself as a painter first and a landscape architect second.
The boardwalks and parks of Rio are what you fondly remember from the Brazilian city set by the sea. The patterns and the stones of black and white that follows the sea is part of the Portuguese heritage that Burle Marx implemented into the heart of Brazil. Roberto Burle Marx is highly admired in South&North America but I´m not sure of how well known he is in the rest of the world.
This fun colorful textile danced. All of a sudden the textile starts spinning and you see a whole other pattern.
It made me curios to know if Swedes in general know of Burle Marx
as he is commonly called.
I have had questions about Burle Marx on my Insta stories to see if my readers have heard about Burle Marx but have not had much of an answer.
Burle Marx collected plants and they were also showcased under glass at MUBE According to Sothebys Who are are selling art by Mr Burle Marx at the moment : Burle Marxis famous for his distinctive landscape designs featuring curved walkways, water features, exotic flora and the uses striking abstract patterns, he not only shaped parks, gardens and iconic public spaces, but is credited with bringing modernist landscape architecture to Brazil, and making impressive and notable contributions to plant exploration and conservation.
Roberto Burle Marx (August 4, 1909 – June 4, 1994) was a Brazilian landscape architect (as well as a painter, print maker, ecologist, naturalist, artist and musician) whose designs of parks and gardens made him world-famous. He is accredited with having introduced modernistlandscape architecture to Brazil. He was known as a modern nature artist and a public urban space designer. His work had a great influence on tropical garden design in the 20th century. Water gardens were a popular theme in his work. He was deftly able to transfer traditional artistic expressions such as graphic design, tapestry and folk artinto his landscape designs. He also designed fabrics, jewellery and stage sets.
He was one of the first people to call for the conservation of Brazil's rainforests. More than 50 plants bear his name. He amassed a substantial collection of plants at his home, including more than 500 philodendrons.

For all of you that are in NYC at the New York Botanical Garden’s Burle Marx exhibit : Roberto Burle Marxsee the magic of Brazil at @nybg
Roberto Burle Marx, Rooftop Garden,
Ministry of Education and Public Health, Rio de Janeiro , Built 1938.
Anette Floss painted the the gorgeous painting chosen for our Glamping tent.
Go Glamping with us and enjoy the outdoors with a tent fit for royalty. The tent of our choice is 6 m in diameter and 3 meters high at the center pole.
This type of tent is really generous with space and you can easily fit a double bed and a table for four people inside and still have lots of room.
When it comes to bed think inflatable matress or other easy to carry type of arrangement. When it comes to tables to eat
around think foldable.
All to make the travel and assembly of the equipment as easy as possible. If you want to see more of the tent and find out where you find it scroll down.
Below film shows how cosy the glamping tent is at night with lanterns and candles lit :
Almost hard to understand that this small package contains this big tent!
The Swedish excellent radio show Stil tells the whole story and more about what Glamping is. Here is more on this in Swedish:
För dig som vill veta mer om Glamping så lyssna på det utmärkta programmet Stil :
A comfortable bed is a must. Who wants to sleep on the floor? The inflatable double bed matresses that has a built in pump to which you need electricity to pump is what we choose to have a real comfy bed.
Then just go crazy with textiles and make it as cosy as possible.
Carpets on the floor helps with the cosy feel and makes the floor so comfy i just sat down. Our recycled leather and jute carpet at Jimsch is just perfect here and easy to roll up and pack.
To show that Glamping can be done anywhere you like we put up the fantastic tent we have chosen from Friluftsvarorsmack in the middle of Stockholm, but next time we go Glamping a lake view or on the mountain in the forest. Right now this tent is on a lower price than it has been for a long time.
Sadly our first meeting was over plagiarism. Kristiina came to
my studio on Södermalm.
She as well as I have created
unique products that had been copied
and sold by competition
although everyone can
see that its
a copy.
Since bringing in the law in this area has not proved a succsessful endeavour even for world brands what strategy can you follow to protect your interest was what our fika was centered around.
Therefore it makes me very proud
to present
Kristiina Haataja
that gave us the permission to displaying her unique work at
Kristiina Haataja är en konstnär och designer baserad i Stockholm. Den mänskliga anatomin tar sig uttryck i hennes skulpturer där hon har utvecklat en stil som är unika i sina former, men råa och strukturerade i sina ytor.
Inspirationen till verken kommer från hennes intresse för konsthistoria där hon låter antikens kroppar möta kubismens strama linjer. Därför kallar hon sin stil för Antik kubism, en sammanflätning av dessa två element. Skulpturernas olika karaktärer såsom drömmaren, tänkaren eller det enskilda ansiktet låter betraktaren visionera vad de kan uttrycka. Skulpturerna har också namn som har speciella betydelser.
Kristiina har under åren exponerats i en rad internationella tidningar och figurerat i olika sociala kanaler. Hennes konst har agenturer och showroom i nordiska städer såsom Oslo och Helsingfors, men även i Europa, Amsterdam och Milano, samt i Sidney, Australien. Skulpturer har också köpts in till större residens exempelvis gamla anrika hotellet Lutetia i centrala Paris samt slottet Château de L’Estang i Sancerre via hennes agent Atelier 27 i Paris.
