Let there be light

Lately I have lamp obsession which made me discover some new brands and design.

Designing in concrete

At the pop up shop last week I was selling Tove Adman's concrete lamps, tables, candleholders and clocks. I had hung the nude concrete lamp on a coat rack but a lady asked me how else one could hang this lamp. Below is an answer on the first photo: on a nice tree branch for example. I have also found some other inspirational images with her designs. 

The ide&oda webshop is only a few days away....

Launching of Scandinavian Art and Design Event

Today starts a three week countdown to the Scandinavian Art and Design event I am organizing in Geneva. The week between 26 November and 2 December I will open a pop-up shop in the old town in Geneva selling Matt Nils' ceramics, Carl Spader's photography (Swedish Artists) & Scandinavian design objects. Today I am only posting the invite but stay tuned for more information on the artists and the objects. In the meanwhile you can like ide&oda on Facebook.

Back to work

Finally back home after a long lazy summer. It is always nice to come home to your own house after being away. I love walking up on our stairs where this Bruno Munari Falkland lamp, a wedding gift, hangs. (photos by Leyla Pope)

First ones above the dining table or kitchen island (if you have one), second one for the living room (oversized lamps for small spaces are recommended by some designers), third one for the kids room/or as a bedside lamp, last one for the entrance...  My favourites from Norwegian website ZanZ.
