happy times

September 30th, 2007

So, I’m usually not a big fan of those air-improving-sprays. BUT, this one really surprised me. It smells lovely and I’m pretty sure my mood went up (I used the good mood – Gute Laune – one) Plus my mum says the brand is known for it’s best quality essential oils.

Is it art or furniture?

September 30th, 2007

I first saw VonSteindl work a few years ago and I instantly loved it. There is just something special about the way they use the most beautiful timbers combined with plants (blossoms, gras, etc.) in synthetic resin to create tables, benches and more nice things.

Manufactum

September 14th, 2007

Some of you might have heard of it – Manufactum is a company that sells new but after old modells designed goods. Such as kitchen stuff, stationary, furniture, apparel and so much more. Below you can see a few of my favorites. If only the good stuff wasn’t that expensive..

With this little machine you can staple paper together without using any metal clips.

Balloonlamps

September 4th, 2007

This definitely falls into the category: “could be d.i.y.” Amazing how beautiful balloons can look with a lil LED light.. Kind reminds me of a tutorial how to make a frozen light bulb – fantastic stuff! Ha, I wonder if they use those kinda lamps at the that Swedish ice hotel!
