Colour, patterns and rough materials are the right ingredients for this Spring's outdoor seating by the beach or any other relaxing space you like to enjoy quality time.

What's design? Isn't design the solution to make our life easier and of course prettier? Here's a great example of design.

The Real Table Lamp, Literally.

One of my favorite coffe (or) table at the Stockholm Furniture and Lighting Fair.

Ideas For A Chandelier.

Storyteller.

If I could name this shelving unit (maybe a bookcase? room divider?) I would definitely call it Storyteller. It takes me straight back to my childhood...

You can build the house of the dreams of your books and magazines.

The detail is the flowers little spaces

By the way, the product is called Street

Inspiration For The Weekend.

When we bring together different fields from the design world, we get to admire great outcomes.

Get inspired by this collaboration between interior architecture and furniture design, textile and industrial design students.

Love the display and the combination of colours and materials

Totally fell in love with this cabinet. The colour is the detail

A hanger which reminded me the ancient weaving

Great idea for a screen. I'm sure Missoni would be inspired by it

Space composition is pretty balanced

Swedese @ Stockholm Design Week 2012.

My shelving choice from Stockholm Furniture Fair - Ivy by Swedese.

Stacking shelves

It's an amazing product, though it needs some development. If you push from the back the shelves might fall.
The weight on it makes it more stable, but the lacquer is very slippery.
Work In Progress, I guess.

Great to display books

Vitra @ Stockholm Design Week 2012.

Not much to say about Vitra, the brand we all love, wish and care for.
Get inspired. Make your space your own.

Totally fell in love with a rug. It really looks a layer of wood

Grey as a starting point

Meetings, don't we love meetings?

Muuto @ Stockholm Design Week 2012.

When I look for new brands or products I always wonder the commercial side of the business, their business. For instance, how much do they need to sell to survive (specially with all the competition in this business), costs (where and what's made off, quality, etc) and what's their commercial strategy.
Of course I could ask or research the subject, but I think it's more fun to wonder. It makes me think and sometimes find solutions for my questions.

Anyway, when I bumped into Muuto I wondered, and wondered a lot. It's a brand with lots of little (and great) things, therefore volume must be something quite difficult to achieve. Though, I don't think it's difficult for them to survive.
Muuto's design and product quality are high and the product versatility, like the Stacking Self, is a product fairly easy to live in many spaces around the world, not to mention "Designed in Scandinavia" it's a great selling point.

The smaller and versatile the product is, the easier it gets to travel around the world. Maybe that's their strategy. who knows?

Fresh Blood @ Stockholm Design Week 2012.

I fall in love very easily. Not only with people but with objects too.

This amazing sofa grabbed my eye instantly. The idea of having my books "on" my seat next to a big window made me fly. Imagine how fantastic it must be to be laying on it, reading my favorite book, with a view to the infinite...

A perfect corner in the real world, isn't it? The colour is the detail, the form its function.
