After a less surprising September 2018 edition, I really enjoyed this past January’s Maison & Objet. The quality was really good and while I already shared a lot in Instagram Stories, I wanted to share some of my highlights here on the blog as well.

Sometimes different worlds come together and create something wonderful. That’s what happened when my talented friend Cécile started designing her new co-working space called Time Work Space in La Défense in Paris. At some point she asked me for some plant advise, because she got some FENCY shelves from Tolhuijs that she wanted to dress Read article…
Cane, dusty pinks & corals, terracotta, arc-shapes… and overall rather neutral color palettes.

In the middle of this bustling and extremely busy week with IMM in Cologne and Maison & Objet in Paris, I found a slice of calmth and design: at KOTI in the heart of Paris. Although it also felt very Finnish! KOTI, Finnish for home, is a creative idea launched by and in the Finnish Institute Read article…
Concept Store.
