Hayon Studios it is!

A BIG YEAHHH for Hayon Studios and their 3 latest designs ... (you know superstar Spanish artist-designer Jaime Hayon, who is younger than me!)

Gardenia ... a collection of furniture and pots for the garden

The Catch chair for Danish brand & Tradition ... beautifully organically shaped and inspired by 'curves'

and 'Ro' for another Danish brand Fritz Hansen ... where 'Ro' means tranquillity in Danish. I read on the site that the name 'Ro' was chosen because it captures the point of the chair in just two letters, thus reflecting the Nordic approach and concept of beauty... nice we like that!

Shop stop: P5 in Singapore

If you are wondering where to go for the best design furniture in Singapore how about starting right here at P5. Brands like moroso, e15, artek and royal tichelaar makkum all under one (beautiful) roof.

When I walked in I was happily surprised to see  the vases by Hella Jongerius when I mentioned them to the sales person he was impressed that I recognized them and understood I knew a thing or two about design  so we started chatting... Aloyus, no longer the salesperson, but the owner and founder of this shop, is as passionate about furniture as he is about food ... hopefully soon he will show me around in town and chat about our love for design. P5's address.

Today I am helping you with a visual tour inside P5. 

ps. If you can't find it here perhaps wonderful Foundry just 5 minutes away can help you.

Milan 2013 a round-up

Good morning it is Femke from Femkeido and it's so nice to be here on Bloesem today. Being an Interior Designer, Milan was the place to be again last week. I traveled to Milan to be inspired at the Salone del Mobile for the Milan Design Week. In this guest-post for Bloesem, I will be sharing some of my pictures I took during my visit.

According to Tom Dixon Gold is the new copper .. what do you think?

The buzz at Rosanna Orlandi was cool as always. The best place to start my trip! 

I love things colour and weird things... the table setting by my favorite design duo Scholten & Baijngs for Georg at Rosanna Orlandi was exactly my piece of cake.

Great to meet Sander Mulder in person at Tom Dixon. You can see him below walking towards his new clock,  TIME, to give it a polish using his own shirt.

Greens and plants we all love them so it was nice seeing some at wallpaper handmade this year. 

Mirrors, many mirrors. I love mirrors, I also like the philosophy of mirrors. It is important to have a look in the mirror every now and then. To see what you’re doing and to decide whether you are taking the right steps. In the picture below a mirror at Droog 20+ and a just a random mirror in Ventura Lambrate.

Milan was again great to visit. Very interesting and inspiring over at my blog Femkeido you can read and see more impressions from my trip. ~ Femke 

Studio Oink

Germany based studio oink are Lea Korzeczek and Matthias Hiller. Interior and product design is what they do and have become a FAN!

This apartment in Wiesbaden gives such a good feel and helps me with decorating tips for my own home. 

Three products so far by studio oink that you can buy either at etsy or dawanda ... eigenheim, the Lumiere or golden party animals... you like them?

If you are going to the Milan Furniture Fair this year make sure you stop by 010-020 at Via Ventura 3. 

Seven young design studios that have one thing in common: they call The Netherlands their home. 

For Dutch people it is very clear what the numbers 010 - 020 stand for ... let me help me you a bit... area-codes! 010= Rotterdam and 020= Amsterdam ...

The yellow chair above is by studio WM and below you see pipin hallway by Phil Proctor and the third image is Woodstock by Jeroen van Leur
