Neon Art
I have for a long time been dreaming of owning some neon art. It's so much fun: the light, the colours, the shapes, the statement, the words. Even my kids loved Dan Flavin at MAMCO:

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....

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.

Just waiting to be hugged!
Most important act at the Scandinavian Art and Design exhibition will be Swedish artist Matt Nils who will be spreading joy and playfulness with his ceramic Hugboxes.
Available in different sizes, in black and white, these whimsical sculptures are each carefully hand sculpted and glazed.
We (the design film company) had some fun making this video for you.

Old treasure in my living room
An amazing luck to find this old school bench in a secondhand shop in France.

Even Hungarians can do it...
How cool is this Hungarian farmhouse featured on the Dezeen website? It was created by architects Budapesti Műhely and is a "contemporary interpretation of a traditional Hungarian peasant house".

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.

FORMEX
Formex is the largest meeting place for Nordic interior design. I was there in August to get inspired (and to see friends in Stockholm). I was not allowed to take photos but these are a few products I saw and loved:
Fake wood puffs and sofa from Norwegian ygg&lyng
Soft forms by Finnish Melaja.
Nicknacks from applicata.dk
