ReFurnish/ReUpholster

ReFurnish/ReUpholster is a new collection by Anita Johansen.

The first piece is this bench.

"The collection is an exploration of traditional furniture upholstery. Anita wanted to work with the dilemma of the traditional craft and craftsmen of upholstery that has lately been under pressure from technical development as well as high hourly wages, which results in outsourcing of upholstery work to other countries. In order to keep and recreate the scandinavian upholstery sector, Anita wanted to look into new directions and possibilities that could be competitive cost wise.

The first piece from the ReFurnish/ReUpholster collection is made from classic nordic materials and consists of 2 parts; a simple oak frame and a felt upholstery component. The ready-made upholstery component can be bought separately and can easily be installed at home by the user. This means the user can customise the upholstery and easily exchange it if wanted." Via: Sofie Brünner.

cirkel

Cirkel wall light by Daphna Laurens in collaboration with Cappellini.
(The Duo Daphna Isaacs Burggraaf & Laurens Manders).

"The inspiration is basic, basic forms and lines. Bauhaus is of course one of their inspiration sources and especially Laszlo Moholy Nagy is a big inspiration for the wall lights. They wanted to create a lamp that during daytime is an art piece more than a wall light and at night it is a wall light."

news

NEWS! In the end of next week I'm moving my blog to this great new magazine, Odalisque. Yesterday I had a nice meeting with their Feature Editor Michaela. I'm very happy about this! I might not be able to blog that much in Italy, so maybe I'll see you at Odalisque when I'm home again. If you have any suggestions about what's missing in my blog or what you'd like to see more, please send me an email.
Have a great weekend! Ciao!

We're going to live near Florence, and we'll have a rental car. So, any guidance would be good and make me happy! Restaurants, vineyards, anything..

home

Igår tog jag tag i att plåta min lägenhet inför att försöka byta den till någonting i söderort. Längtar efter att kunna cykla och ha nära till skola och jobb inför hösten.

I'm trying to change my apartment at the moment. Had some kind of photo session yesterday, and now I hope I'll find something closer to my new school and my work.

black&black

Nendo is launching a new collaborative brand: K%. These are some furniture from the collection Black&Black.
"This is Sato’s first collection as the director of K%, a furniture brand from Singapore, but as the founder of Nendo, he has a keen eye and desire to make pieces accessible and affordable. The pieces in the line are all black and offer a stripped down approach to design where they avoid the “distraction of new materials, technique and color.”" Read more here.

Thank you Tine! I'm so happy that you like what I do. Here's her great blog.

stack

stack by skrivo design.
"the concept behind the stack easy chair and footstool comes from the idea of having cushions in constant motion that look like they have been stacked randomly on top of each other. placing multicoloured polyurethane upholstered cushions on a mild steel structure creates the perception of depth and playfulness. two tubular steel rods add additional aesthetic detail as well as structural support for the birch wood legs."
