The Edit Lamp - Scandinavian Lighting

I saw this lamp on Emmas design blog a few days ago, and it immediately got my attention. The creation of the Edit lamp, by Joanna Laajisto, came from the necessity of having a small and simple pendant to suit her interior architecture projects. But the process of design, to achieve the desired aesthetics - clean but interesting, modern and classic, demanded many hours of revising and editing, and thus the name "Edit". The lamp can be used as a pendant or attached to a wall fixture, and in three versions: all black, steel/black and brass/black.

“The idea that the light could be fixed to the wall was especially intriguing to me. Wall lamps create a very special ambience” 

- Joanna Laajisto -

I personally love the all black on the wall. It reminds me of an old street lamp which, not notwithstanding it's minimalistic lines, still evokes a romantic and poetic atmosphere.

White and Green for Muuto 2013

This Spring I'm having a serious crush on white and green styling. Neutral tones with a few splashes of green, clean lines, simplicity, and overall a fresh atmosphere. Especially when the green comes mainly from natural plants. And these images, from Muuto's Spring 2013 catalogue, illustrate that with perfection.

The home of...Yvonne Koné

Today's inspiring interior is the apartment of  Danish designer Yvonne Koné. I find it very interesting that we could describe her home with the same words used on Koné's web site to describe her work and design for leather accessories. 

"Yvonne Koné is inspired by raw, natural leather with an industrial non-color feel giving the collections a discrete look of understated poise and elegance. Also, the consistent use of contrasts in materials creates a dialogue between toughness and fragility in each design" 

Ok, it's yet another home interior in: white, black, grey and timber; modern and vintage/industrial...but it's worth it!

Gorgeous! Especially the living-room. Those made to measure book shelves, made by Københavns Møbelsnedkeri, provide a place to keep everything and give warmth and personality to the room.  And I just love the low sofa tables and the lamp stand in concrete and timber.

Daily Dishonesty

I recently started following a blog on Tumblr called Daily Dishonesty, and I thought I should share it with you today. Lauren Hom, a graphic designer and illustrator based in New York City, gives us those little, harmless, lies (or dishonesties) that we tend to tell ourselves, and others, on a daily basis...and mostly about food. 

I chose a few to show you, but you can follow the link for more.  It's a fun read for a lazy Sunday!
