Minimalistic Plywood Chalet

Mar 09
2010

Chalet Lanel, created by Andreas Fuhrimann and Gabrielle Hächler, is striking in its use of plywood throughout, from the floors, walls and ceilings to the stairs and even the bed! Not considered a luxury material, plywood is not normally used in this way and the effect is wholly original.  While I know the desired aesthetic of this French chalet is minimalistic and spartan, it would be nice to see it a tiny bit more lived in.

Nadinoo’s Spring Summer Collection

Mar 09
2010

A designer I’ve previously featured, and continue to love through to another collection, is the fabulous Nadinoo.  The spring summer collection by the Brit designer features the same fantastic prints and beautiful colours  in simple yet sublime cuts. You can see some of the new collection in the shop online.

Blue Perfection

I love this girl’s style, but mainly because of the blue All Stars. I’ve had a few pairs over the years, but I’ve never had blue ones and I don’t know why it never occurred to me. They are am-a-zing!

The Sensational “Strut” For Work & Home

Mar 09
2010

The Strut table by Blu Dot is a new discovery for me and I have to say, I love it! It works just as well at home, as at the office – and even comes in different heights and sizes so can be used as a coffee table or side table, too.

Lundi Lunettes: Eyewear Inspiration

Mar 08
2010

The weekly collection of fabulous frames. I’m especially enamoured with the ones directly below and the overall style of the girl (see her whole outfit here). I wish I knew who makes them or where I could buy them!
