Their current exhibition is called N-0183 Norwegian jewellery – nothing but nine favourites, showing pieces by Kirsti Reinsborg Grov, Reinhold Ziegler och Sigurd Bronger. In connection to my earlier post about wearable (or not) art… here’s an egg-silver-steel ring by Sigurd…
Eleanor Pritchards throws and cushions brought me straight back to a safe cosy haven. I think most of all it is the colours that awaken a sense of nostalgia. Eleanors new work draws inspiration from traditional British textile crafts and does it with a contemporary feel. I love Eleanors way of presenting her architectural commissions…
mint on Wigmore Street is a favourite London shop to me. Owner Line Kanafani mix design and crafts objects in the most exciting way. When I was there a couple of weeks ago she was showing for instance Maarten Bass’ clay furniture.Hygge is another small shop tucked away in the backstreet of north London’s Islington….

donna at whimsy press just sent over their gorgeous new holiday collections. i’m secretly dying to cover everything i own with the yellow pom pom ribbon though (like mav, i’m loving yellow and gold right now). whimsy introduced two new collections of wrapping paper (with retro and asian themes that are sure to stand out…

David Taylor wants his work to raise questions about identity and function: “This requires an input from those who pause long enought take in the object in it’s entirety. My aim is to reward the viewer for the time they invest in looking at what I do.” His designs sure wake my curiosity, for instance…
I could do with one of Adrienne Rogers’ elongated cables (that’s the piece above on the sofa) to keep me warm through the winter months ahead. Critic Leslie Sherr writes about Roger’s approach to knitting that it is: “..at once avant-garde and primal. Her forms are intriguingly original, yet they stem from the timeless human…
i’ve been a fan of designer courtney skott for some time now. i was immediately smitten with her work when i was introduced to her silky tree stump stools; then it was love at first site all over again when i saw her pixelated bed and houndstooth screen. now the amazing work continues with this…
love them or hate them (it seems most people hate their prices…) dwr carries some pretty cool products every now and then. i’m loving these industrial house numbers they just added online the other day. inspired by stencils, these outdoor numbers were designed exclusively for dwr by erik spiekermann and would look great next to…

i love a good spindle lamp. you just can’t go wrong with them. repaint them, refinish them, add a new shade- they’re the little black dress of lamps. this bright red version is only $36 at urban outfitters and i think i’ll snap up a few for the bedside tables while they’re available. things seem…
