Andrea Maack Perfumes, and Read These Blogs Instead

I’m in Greece at the moment, volunteering at the Macedonian border, which is closed for most nationalities meaning lots of people are stuck here in the rain. This means updating the blog is not my top priority, so instead I will direct you to some other blog posts that I think you shouldn’t miss! First out is this post by Elv’s, about my favourite perfumist, Icelandic Andrea Maack and the launch of her new unisex collection.

Gold and Gray Apartment by Richard Lindvall

As promised, more photos from this apartment by Richard Lindvall.

”The assignment was to turn an old embassy in Stockholm into a private apartment.

Three walls were taken down to create one large room of 85 square meters with a bit of a gallery feel. This room includes kitchen, dining and living area.

A gray scale with materials like concrete, valchromat and brushed steel are recurring throughout the apartment. In contrast to this, three brass cubes were built that all serve a unique function;
a kitchen island, a closet and a coffee table.”

Hasami Porcelain

Swedish brand TypeO, previously best known for their art prints, just started a new chapter of their entrepreneurship. Their plan is to, besides their own designs, create a place for brands and products beyond the mass produced stuff that all other web shops are already offering.

”We are convinced that Scandinavia is hungry for designs that are unique, small scale and sustainable. Not necessarily organic, but with a thought of timelessness, manufactured through tried and tested techniques in materials that are made to last.”

Their first step is to present a collection of tableware, designed in California and produced in the ancient Japanese Hasami porcelain district. The stackable crockery was launched in 2014 and is the choice of Monocle coffeeshops all over the world.

I fell for the design which is both minimalist and rustic at the same time, and the practicality of everything being so neatly stackable.

Rent A Vermont Farmhouse For This View

The last weekend of 2012 we did our first overnight trip with Frances to Vermont. We were invited to stay at a beautiful farmhouse in Waterbury, Vermont. The trip was just over 3 hours from Massachusetts and a safe distance to practice our new parenting skills.

Kids Things

i was conflicted about doing this post because the one thing i feel weird about is “designing” your kid’s life, or creating a remotely instagrammeable lifestyle for your kid. on the other hand i think some kids things are pretty sweet, and i find myself straying into kidswear departments pretty often now that we are expecting one. we are already receiving...

5 Bold Bathroom Tile Floors

I am obsessed with remodeling kitchens and baths! I think it is because I love seeing great tile and stone installed and the notion that those surfaces are quite permanent. If I had my choice on house, I would have one with 3 kitchens and 7 baths…I would design each of these rooms differently and... Read More

The New Tsatsas Atelier

A fresh start to the week with this clean and minimalist space. Tsatsas Atelier in Frankfurt, Germany.

”TSATSAS means clarity and quality. With regard to design, the materials used, and the way they are treated. A particular approach to luxury is something immediately noticeable, something that can be felt straight away. These bags and accessories take time – to design, to manufacture and to develop.

The atelier where all TSATSAS fine leather goods are produced can look back over a tradition in leathercraft that stretches back 30 years. The genesis of each model is allowed to take up as much time as required to create a leather product by hand with precision and care.”
