Let's Get Personal in France with Delphine from L'atelier de madame M....

     

 The home of Delphine from L'atelier de madame M.

F:: French is...being part of the most grouchy nation ! I'm joking !French is... being part of a rich culture and history full of castles, kings, traditions and good gastronomy !

R:: room, my favorite room in our home is...the living room with the slate grey wall and the stove. I love it because it's a spacious and bright room where all the family can read, listen to music, surf Internet, etc.

E:: entrance, when entering my home you will notice …that we moved in just few months ago ! We still need to paint, buy furniture, install lights...

N:: new in my home is...the “docksta” table from Ikea (inspired by the Saarinen' “Tulip table”). But only few things are really new because we love second hand & “vintage” furniture and home stuff. 

 

some things I liked this week...

 

the new Shades of Wood lamp by Jorn van Eck and Overtreders W...

Patchwork ceramic glasses from Yevgenia...

these 1/100 trees by Terada Mokei, architectural Model series  ... via Upon A Fold... Happy Birthday! 

 

 

Giveaway : Two of you can win the new print issue of papier mache

And again I can giveaway TWO books this week or should i say magazines... well i believe it's more than a magazine because the first Print issue of papier mache has been so beautifully curated and printed on good quality paper that you can hardly call it a magazine...

What do you have to do to win a copy: just leave a comment stating which artist you would like to see in the next print issue?

Winners are: Gali and riotyarn

papier mache was founded in May 2009 as an online magazine but soon the founders understood the demand for a print publication was in order. You can order the Print issue right here or previous digital versions here...

 

   

Bloesem is part of the '100 Voices That Matter'

Perhaps this video explains it best...

Tina Roth Eisenberg aka Swiss-Miss was one of the 10 experts invited by SAY Media to compile a list of 10 voices in the category 'design' that she considers have an influence these days...,  A list of voices that matter...and she says Bloesem is one of them ... yes that makes me smile :)

Why did SAY Media create this list: "The SAY 100 is a collection of authentic and knowledgeable online voices that create engaging content, drive conversation and shape opinion. At SAY Media we believe the power to shape opinion

Art in Your Home :: Hanna Konola

My second guest today in the new series Art in Your Home, I truly hope you like seeing how artists from all over the world display their own art in their homes. Claire Nereim started last week and today I have the pleasure to introduce... or perhaps no introduction needed ... to Hanna Konola, a Finnish freelancer in the field of illustration, design and art... and who's I'm loving for a long time.  

     

Art in the home of Hanna Konola
 

A: Art means to me… better being, feeling.

R: Reading books / blogs / magazines ... Last two books I've read are Rui Tenreiros Metsän pidot (Høytiden) and Paul Auster's Leviathan. With blogs it's interesting to be connected around the world and to find new things.

T: Trends I see in art or graphic design are… there must be so many kinds of trends going on in different areas and with different people. I find a lot of the same shapes and forms and colours and motifs around that I work with myself. It's interesting to think where these trends come from.

A: Artists I admire are... people who just try to be themselves.

N: Never will I ...
