Sixagon Side Table

The Sixagon side table made by Misewell (available on Horne) is made of steel in the USA. I love how it combines an industrial aesthetic with bright colours!

Urchin Poofs

Caroline — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 10:32:58 +0000

Thomas Eyck is a Dutch publisher and distributor who commissions a new artist each year to create a series that unites design and materials. These “urchin poofs,” created by Christien Meindertsma, are made of New Zeland wool and handknit in The Netherlands. I love these and I love that she used knitting in such an unconventional way! And they do sort of look like urchins, no?

The Quest for the Ottoman

Caroline — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 10:03:04 +0000

Richy and I are “feet putter-uppers”: we like to have our feet up when we’re sitting on the sofa. I’m therefore looking for an ottoman or a poof so we can kick back in style. Last weekend in Chicago, I was quite smitten with everything (and I mean everything) in Jonathan Adler‘s shop – I was very much like a kid in a candy shop. Among other perfect home decor gems, I fell in love with this lovely ottoman, the x-bench. You can have it upholstered in a variety of fabrics, patterns and colours. Unfortunately an ottoman doesn’t exactly travel well in a suitcase; I’m stuck with Montreal offerings when it comes to furniture… But a girl can dream, no?

Look Ma, No Legs

The Ledge by Urbancase is a minimalist desk and media unit. Used as a desk it can neatly store a laptop when not being used. Available in chestnut or bright red, the unit’s clean lines and lack of legs help to cut down on the cluttery feeling characteristic of small spaces.

Are You a Wallflower?

The Wallflower by Jonas & Jonas is a great space-saving home office solution. It would fit in just about any room and presto, you’ve got yourself a set-up for those days you’re bringing work home (shame on you if that’s the case, though!)

The Sensational “Strut” For Work & Home

Caroline — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:00:01 +0000

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.

Vintage Beauties for the Home

Caroline — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 11:00:02 +0000

You know, I never considered myself a fan of vintage items. But it seems I may have to reevaluate that position, as I seem to consistently fall for well-curated Etsy vintage shops, such as The Sunday Times Market. Some pieces really do stand the test of time!

Bright Yet Simple Furniture by A2

Caroline — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:00:11 +0000

Sweden-based A2 has created a wonderful furniture collection, every single item of which I love! In particular: the trompe-l’œil effects, the unusual angles and modern lines, and of course, as always, the lovely colours!

Eames Chair Love

This Eames chair model is so classically gorgeous – love its shape, the variety of colours and the fact that it also comes as a rocking chair!
