Five months of boutique

Six months have passed since my last blogpost. The reason for this is... LIFE and new adventures. After the successful exhibition of Francesca Lancisi, I opened a boutique and life has been a roller-caster since.

In this relaunch of the blog, I am sharing a few images from my newsletters and shop.

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....

Pop-up

This is what my Scandinavian Art and Design Pop-Up shop in Geneva looks like. Hugboxes by Swedish Matt Nils, photography by Carl Spader and design from Sweden, Denmark and Norway. All items are available on www.ideandoda.com

Made in Sweden

We all know that Scandinavian design is appreciated all over the world. This is why SMD Design not only believes that good Swedish design deserves to be made in Sweden, but they actually make most of their products at their own production site, in Småland, in southern Sweden.

 The below products will be available at the Scandinavian Art and Design week by ide&oda, but if you see any other products on their website that you like, let me know.

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.

Old and new

It is all very trendy to mix old and new, but there are only few who can add that extra edge to this trend.

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)

Marimekko

I've just got back from Sweden but unfortunately I did not have time to look around in the great design shops, but at least I picked up five design magazines just before heading back . In Malmö I walked past a Finnish Marimekko shop (which was unfortunately already closed), but it inspired me to look into their latest collections. I have always loved their patterns, colours and the happy living it communicates.
