Chocolate Brown
Ole Jensen’s popular washing-up bowl is now available in a warm Chocolate Brown colour, which gives a bit of a kick to life’s daily boring routines. Expect to find it in selected design stores by the end of this month.

And the winner is…
Congratulations to Jonas Juhler Hansen who guessed the right colour in our quiz. A brown washing-up bowl is on its way to you.

This nice tray of freshly prepared Japanese lunch servings was available at the stunning price of 5€. Not only does it beat the Happy Meal price of the American Giant, but more certainly the quality of the food and serving brings real joy. Tea, good service and smile included…

This beautiful cabinet was spotted in Just Scandinavian in New York, made by a Scandinavian designer. The cabinet is all handmade - hand cut wood. It needs to be done by a man/woman with a very steady hand. Can you imagine having done just most of the cabinet and then make a mistake? And you then have to start all over again. What a nice and beautiful work which I would love to place in my home.

Mega installations realized using objects by Italians Arnolfo di Cambio. I liked the shadows of the installation more than the installation itself. And the man in orange was an extra bonus for the whole experience. Milan again…

Dear readers,
We thought you should be the first to know. By the end of this summer we are launching an exclusive version of the Norm 03 lamp designed by Britt Kornum in stainless steel. You may have seen the beautiful reflection from the shade foil lamp, but we can promise you that the steel version makes it even more spectacular.

Even with a standard light bulb the light reflections are quite spectacular.

Norm 03 in steel is a ceiling pendant complete with a fabric cable with incorporated wire. 53 x 32 cm.

We hope you like it

You may have seen Ole Jensen´s rubber tub (here or here) that he created for the MINDCRAFT Exhibition. Yesterday I visited Ole at his studio and saw the tub in real life. Rubber is just a much nicer material than cold hard steel or ceramic. I would love to have one in our bathroom and another one in our garden for those long warm summer nights.

The Phonefone is a beautiful icon of nostalgia, and an ironic twist of a personal listening device. Made in ceramic! Via Tortona, Milan 2008.

It is for hiding or protection? That is probably up to you to decide. But one thing is for sure, the bottle in a book is a perfect gift item for the person, who has everything. I found this bottle in a book in a store in New Mexico.

There are a lot of different ways to decorate your home and house. Chili is a very popular product to use when you are in New Mexico. Plenty of houses have chili outside the house, and it looks great.

This decoration looks its best when the wind is blowing, because it gets the decoration to move and you see a whole different decoration than when it is standing still. Some of them make a sound some of them not, but all have some great natural colors, which could look good in most gardens.

Always bring woofy with you; if he is too big to bring with you to work, we can recommend that you make your own mouse pad – and you will always have woofy close by.

Should I go…?

Oh yes, I’ll take a little trip to Milan to figure out the design-worlds Mecca. I haven’t really got the time. Throw both runners and high heels in my bag. You never know what is going to happen…

I got invited to a press-conference with ‘Star Starck’ himself. I’m wearing runners. It gets crowded around him, the Press and all the others with Italian elegance and high heels. Starck is telling about his next big move…it might get big, he says. I catch a glass of champagne and a canapé. “Lucky you” is my reflection and then out into the city.
 
I work my way through the big fair wearing runners. It is overwhelming. It looks so easy. I wonder if anybody is thinking about the time it takes for the little things and strange experiments to get that far. One of my toes is killing me. Never mind. I’ll be heading down town.  I’m staying right there in the center, with the pulls beating. So inspired by the lot. I’m wearing high heels. Now I really feel alive.

The day after, I’m in my runners again. I have met many dogs in Milan but I got very fond of one in particular. Fed up to a breaking point with design, heading home to DK. Now it is going to be nice with a cognac and my feet up.

Milan’s everything. High and low.

We have earlier spotted a street covered in wooden brick stones, now I have spotted a whole house covered in wood. These tile stones in wood cover the entire house. At first sight I thought it was some sort of plastic or rubber, but when I got closer, I could see the stones. The wood gives the house a very different and cool look compared to the neighbours in the area. The house is spotted in Williamsburg, New York.
