This month's Urban Jungle Bloggers topic fits my current state of mind pretty well: back to school, plants on the workplace. It's been one busy month, but a very productive one too, here in my home office. Strangely enough I don't have many plants on my desk. Most of them don't like the northern light Read article…
Month: September 2014
Nouveautés Papier Tigre
Papier Tigre is one of the brands that makes me proud of French graphic design. At Maison & Objet they presented some of their new products for this fall. Recently Papier Tigre created an exclusive collection with Diptyque which is fabulous, but let me show you some of their new paper goods. First a family Read article…
Tina Frey Designs in pink
Oh yeah I have more pictures from Maison & Objet! Last January I fell for the bright colors of the resin planters from Tina Frey Designs. This time I was really surprised: the entire stand was soft and fuzzy: black, grey, white… and pink! Very different colorwise, but with the same sensual feel of resin Read article…
September means maize
Remember how I told you I loved working this summer while everyone seemed to be on holiday? Well, people are back and it's very busy/. Back to school (or work) means that soon the maize will be harvested. As a teenager I biked past these same kind of maize fields every day to go to Read article…
Giveaway Kalenji x JOELIX.com
Yayy! I'm throwing a little party, because I just went on my 200th run! If you follow me on Instagram, you know that after each run I post a picture, usually of my shoes and something colorful.

I heart Hartô again

Mama mia, Mamama!
A pale pink stand and a brand called Mamama: for an instant I thought this had to do something to do with mamas and children. But mama mia! I was wrong! Mamama is a French design company specializing in innovative tableware. At Maison & Objet they presented their Sfumato collection with 2 cups and 3 Read article…
Kristina Dam Studio
The new botanic photography posters by Kristina Dam are a real treat for Urban Jungle Bloggers with a thing for scandi design. There's magic in the misty posters Kristina made in collaboration with Danish photographer Tuala Hjarnø. For me, meeting the makers behind a product can completely change my perception of the work. When I Read article…
I love Love Reykjavík
It's one of these things that can be a dealmaker… or breaker: product display. At big tradeshows like Maison & Objet you'll see anything between a table and a white table cloth as a background, to stand designs in marble & (real!) gold. And somewhere in the middle you'll find creative people that create magic Read article…
Aufschnitt Berlin Textile Butchery
Yesterday I was at Maison & Objet in Paris and my first crush was a rather unexpected one. It took me two seconds to realize this was fresh and different (and let's admit: a little bit crazy too). Aufschnitt Berlin is a Textile Butchery: they create products that mimic regular sausage and meat products in Read article…
