Alissia's favorite design pieces in her house
An "egg poacher" from Wilhelm Wagenfeld, more information you can find here at Jenaer Glas and some Matryoshka dolls, unpainted. I have had these for years. They came via the mail from Moldavia to me, which why I liked them even more. 
And a Kids chair found on the street 3 years ago in Williamsburg. Brooklyn. I really like the colour of the metal and the wood together.

Adelle & Justin's favorite design pieces in their house
Adelle: I’m a big fan of Scandinavian ceramics, particularly those from the 1950s & 60s. It was really hard choosing just one example, but I’ve plumped for this wall plaque designed by Lisa Larson for Swedish factory, Gustavsberg. I love everything about it – the viking ship image, the colours, the texture... It’s the only Lisa Larson plaque I’ve got, but I’m hoping to add to my collection of one very soon!
Justin: I’ve chosen this spotty mug which was made by my older brother who’s a potter. One of life’s great little pleasures is walking the dog on a crisp winter’s day – then returning home to a real log fire and a cup of hot, strong tea - in my favourite mug. He made me a set of four for Christmas one year. Each one is subtly different, with slight variations where they’ve been hand thrown, shaped and decorated.

Erin's favorite design pieces in her house
“I (=Erin) am a very
literary person, so I’m not surprised that when asked to round up a few
items that I’d place in my own private museum, the majority of my picks
are reading/writing-related. The first item I’d choose would be my extensive collection of Assouline
fashion memoirs. I’m increasingly inspired by the way in which our
world evolves and this publisher has curated such a lovely series of
how we’ve dressed ourselves in years past. I often leaf through the
pages to see our modern interpretation of classic designs in hopes that
we never forget the roots of our inspiration. Besides, who wouldn’t want the deepest, darket secrets of word-renowned fashion designers at their fingertips?
Secondly, I chose a round-up of my very favorite objects, both
functional and not. I absolutely adore my Tamara Shopsin 5-Year Diary
and scribble in it each night before bed. I find it to be therapeutic
to imagine myself five years from now, reading how much I’ve grown and
laughing at my past mistakes. I also, of course, had to include my
favorite writing utensil of all-time: the Ultra Fine Point Sharpie in
Black, because without it, I might never journal. Other favorite items are a mother’s letter on her daughter’s wedding
day and a few bangles Mexico, a stark contrast of both serious and
lighthearted moments in my life.
Lastly, I included my favorite dishware from a flea market, which I
just love to use when I eat mini-sandwiches and tea. A rare occasion,
but I must admit that sometimes I fix myself a snack just so I can use
this piece. It brings me more joy than the food itself, which, for a
foodie like me, is a big accomplishment! Thanks, Irene, for such a fun assignment. I think what I learned most
about such a daunting task of creating a private museum was that, like
any museum, they represent just one portion of history and are
ever-changing. I take comfort in knowing that a year from now I may
have an entirely different collection and that? That is curation at its
best.”
Bianca's favorite design pieces in her house
Kokeshi: It was quite funny because I (=Bianca)
fell in love with this kokeshi from the moment I saw her. I bought her
from Village Idom in Yarraville, a suburb close to where I live. She
was very expensive and at the time I didn't realise that I had paid so
much for her, but she's too precious to bring back...Sniper movie
poster: we bought this poster for a photoshoot that my boyfriend had to
do, it is an old movie advertisement poster. It took us a while to find
this great poster, going through all the cool old things at Chapel
Street Bazaar. It's the best place to shop for vintage, retro props.
Danish cabinet: The cabinet is actually a 6 drawer cabinet that has
a huge mirror as well. The mirror is in storage and the cabinet lives
in our lounge room with the tv on top. I am a huge fan of danish (like)
furniture and keep scanning shops and ebay constantly. My boyfriend is
a bit over it now because our house is pretty much full. I (=Bianca) bought this cabinet from ebay and I'm in love with it. It matches our coffee table.
black
apple print + stickmeon decal: I have 3 prints from the black apple
(theblackapple.etsy.com) in my lounge room and this one is one of my
favourites, especially with the little birdie decal from stickmeon. Stickmeon on is based in Melbourne and has great wall decals.

Jesse's favorite design pieces in her house
The stove was my (=Jesse) grandmother's. It's the only stove she ever owned, and I'm (=Jesse)
guessing that it must be about 60 years old now. Made of solid cast
iron, moving it takes 4 grown men (or one rather small and determined
woman, armed with rugs and towels to slide it along on). It still works
perfectly, but unfortunately doesn't fit into my kitchen, being wider
than most modern stoves. So for now it's in my bedroom, storing socks
and hats and scarves. But even if I couldn't find a use for it, I can't
imagine ever getting rid of it. 
The vase is by Cornelius Lemmer,
a maker of quirky, thoughtful, and beautiful furniture and objects. It
was given to me by a friend, and sits on my studio mantelpiece, keeping
company with a collection of interesting bottles, broken bits of
ceramics, and odd photos I've found on walks.

Marieke's favorite design pieces in her house
When I (= Marieke)
moved in with my boyfriend, now husband, I didn't have much beautiful
furniture, only old worn IKEA student stuff that I didn't even want to
move out of super small student studio. Time for a fresh start I
thought! Strangely enough I never really felt at home until I got some
pieces from our old home, that my parents moved out of. I set them up
as my "studio", a corner of our lower floor. The big cabinet holds
almost everything I need for my work, such as tools, paint, office
supplies, fabric, my administration. It's as full as can be!
This easel is my mother's and to me one of most valuable objects in our house. Unfortunately my mother cannot use it anymore, but it does bring happy memories - as a little girl I always used to hang around in my mom's studio looking at her working. I don't work standing behind it but I always put stuff on it, work in progress, to look at and comtemplate what needs improvement ... In a way, the cabinet, the table and the easel form my own private childhood museum, wherever it will stand, I can bring upon myself the mood to make things and think how extremely lucky I am to do what I love best.
