The Here And Now

Mia — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 23:33:16 +0000

This is my fav pic from Living Etc‘s August 2011 issue. From Sibella Court’s Sydney home.

Described as a look that’s about personality, texture and the here and now. When asked to sum her style she says:

flotsam and jetsam, globetrotting, bowerbird.

Oh my…I had to google them all! Well not globetrotting – one of the absolute trendiest interior design trends – but I learned flotsam and jetsam is refuse found in the ocean and bowerbord is like an Australian crow (I think). Each day you learn something new! And actually, from Sibella’s style one can learn more than some words. I spotted her new book is out, it’s called NOMAD and looks terribly exciting! Next week I’ll give myself time to read her guide to NYC, on the beach.

I beg your pardon…

I never promised you a rose garden! I (Trendey) is a bit on the offline side at the mo. All work, no play.

This lovely photo – with the afternoon tea menu on the table cloth – comes from Norwegian magazine LevLandlig. And so does the beautiful summery interior scene below…Again, it’s like a summer house dream!

Mid May: Etsy Favourites

Etsy is one amazing place. I keep finding so many nice things! My latest catch is a gorgeous vintage monkey I’m so much looking forward to meet. Here’s a collection of some other nice things, available right now.

| a hand woven ikat pillow @ lai grai, a vintage task lamp & a vintage robert mitchum framed portrait @ confetti garden and a gift set for the craft lover @ funretro |

| a vintage 70s swag ceiling light (in sweden we call them ‘tiffany-lamps’) @ funretro, a sea foam herman miller eames chair @ comod and finally, there’s something special with this montana brewery fine art print @ awakes |

Mild colours & soft layers…

delightful dachsies

Mia — Thu, 05 May 2011 23:44:20 +0000

d istinctly talented Swedish designer Lisa Bengtsson delivered her graphic design graduation project – the wallpaper Familjen – only a couple of years ago, and has since then received many awards for her adorable and clever designs (one of my favourites along the way has been the Ros-Marie wallpaper). Lisa Bengtsson derives inspiration from people around her and the atmosphere of bygone days. Now, as a mother of twins, she has pondered questions of family resemblance, similarities and differences. This has resulted in a brand new design, featuring a multitude of dachshunds!

These illustrations are sold (in limited editions) in cooperation with Save the Children Sweden – Design for Children’s Rights. The dachsies all originate from different corners of the world and the design shows that despite our differences and regardless of where we were born – we are all very much alike.

These sweet personalities also form a fun medallion pattern. Three of them in close-up, in either blue or gold, are available through textiles company Mairo as fabric by meter and as cushions. There is also a pattern with 12 dogs, which is also available in oilcloth. The pattern is called Tillsammans (Together). This one is definitely a new favourite!

A reintroduced Josef Frank Pattern

Speaking of art and patterns, I actually really like this old textile pattern by Josef Frank called Marble 4420. Svenskt Tenn reintroduced it today, in velvet, for the Stockholm Furniture Fair. Designers Förster & Kusoffsky also made some new products interpreting this pattern. It’s not a typical Frank pattern – they say, I think it’s Franky! – story goes it was sketched when Josef Frank had encountered the art of Jackson Pollock, during this stay in New York in the 1940s. By any means it has a fresh arty vibe. Almost graffiti-ish yet very tidy.
