Modern and Homey Dinnerware

Caroline — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 10:44:27 +0000

Designed by a young Danish designer named Gry Fager and manufactured by Normann-Copenhagen, the Mormor line of dinnerware was inspired by the simplest thing: a kitchen tea towel. “Mormor” means “grandmother” in Swedish and the line is meant to evoke something of past generations. Says Fager: “I have been inspired by the atmosphere and the character of the kitchen, particularly older kitchens from my grandmother’s time and I have transferred the kitchen clichés into a modern context.” I love these beautiful dishes for their mix of modernity and homeyness – beautiful work.

While I do own a fancy chef’s knife, my smaller kitchen knife collection leaves something to be desired. This “cook’s essentials” set by French manufacturer Opinel, available on Pergolina.com, includes a paring knife, a serrated knife, a vegetable knife and a peeler knife. Practical – and beautiful!

Vintage Beauties for the Home

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!

Vintage Tupperware… From My Childhood?!

First sign you’re getting old: the kitchenware you grew up with shows up in Etsy vintage shops. While I think it’s kind of cool looking, I’m not quite ready to admit it’s vintage.
