Bloesem

Tove Johansson

When a favorite blogger/photographer of mine is working together with a Swedish printmaker something beautiful must come out of it ...  the new collection by Tove Johansson is simply stunning. 

I love the pillows, the lampshades, teatowels and of course the kids' collection too.

And if this is only just the beginning than I am sure we will hear and see much more of this talented lady. 

Tove Johansson is a Swedish designer based in Paris working in the fields of fashion and printmaking for interior, accessories and stationary. Enjoy!

New from snug. songbirds mobile

When Berit and Kerstin from snug studio send me an email about their new product: the songbirds mobile I knew imedeatly i wanted to start this week with showing you... the mobile is so sweet, but not too sweet, simple and fresh looking that I really love it. The little birds are all handmade from two coloured layers of wood and it is available right here in their dawanda shop.

snug. was founded 2010 by Kerstin Reileman, interiordesigner and Berit Luedecke, architect. In their small studio in Hannover, Germany they create new design-products inspired by  their own childhood memories. This is the greatest source of inspiration for them.

SORRY .. JELTJE JANMAAT ASKED ME TO REMOVE THE IMAGE :: TO MUCH CONFUSION WHO THE PHOTOGRAPHER BEHIND THE IMAGE WAS...

This gorgeous image by talented Dutch photographer Jeltje ... sorry should have been Paul Barbera of course ... reminded me this morning of my idea to create a space for a swing too ... although I won't be asking my husband to hang one inside, ours will be hanging outside, I like it very much how the owners of this home have done it here...

Klas Ernflo

Really wasn't sure to show these 'designer-soccer-balls' on Bloesem or BloesemKids ... my little boy would LOVE to play with these and I just love how they look, fantastic! Klas Ernflo made them and if you are interested in buying one of them, you can just send Klas an email, more pictures here ... happy I found them via the lovely Malo blogg... and I would like to wih you a very nice weekend of course, hope to see you back on Monday!

BloesemKids is live!

BloesemKids is open! Just about a year ago I wrote a similar line for Bloesem, the beginning of a rollercoaster year…both for me and my family…just moved to Toronto but already making plans to move to Asia….starting my own design blog…as I am sure I told you before…Bloesem brought together all my passions and is very much a part of who I am…ever since launching Bloesem…and just having become a mom myself…the idea of devoting a special blog to kids started to develop…I wasn’t quite sure yet what it should look like or the contents…just that it should be about cool stuff for kids…not a laundry list of products you can buy for your kids…but more like a carefully put together selection…cherry picking…among everything that is available which can be quite overwhelming sometimes…so B:Kids will set out to do just that…help you navigate and give inspiration….of course totally influenced by my own taste and ideas….

I am hoping that B:Kids will be the first thing on your mind when looking for an original gift for your friend’s first baby or just to browse… and day dream about redecorating your childs room…B:Kids should be a fun and colorful place to spend some on-line time…for me B:Kids will also very much be a learning experience… only having been a mom for just over a year… there is so much more to explore…and enjoy where it comes to kids’ products… and rest assure the posts on B:Kids will not be as longwinded as this one…but rather short introductions and some quick thoughts…so more space for beautiful images!

Needless to say…this Bloesem will of course continue…so Monday it will be business as usual so please come back for some great posts just before Christmas!
