Masters of visual narratives, Permanent Press Editions founders Shana and Alexa are dedicated to crafting and creating original, archival-quality photographs. Their collection includes two editions so far: Edition No. 1 brings out the beautiful quirks and imperfections of ordinary objects, while Edition No. 2 features the most exquisite pressed flowers. Although they sound totally different, the two editions go together like a charm.
Whether it's mixing and matching prints or displaying one print on it's own, we can assure you that these high quality prints will transform any space. The colours are so crisp that we used our set as a moodboard in the studio to get inspired for the projects we are working on at the moment. Not only are they gorgeous to look at, they are helping us with our creative thinking, score!

We found our happy place in Bangkok and it's Things to Make and Do. Long time fans of their Instagram page, this store was on our must-finally-visit list while we were in town. Located a distance away from the city centre, it is recommended to set off early, around 10 or 11, to avoid any rush hour traffic.
Find many European designs for clean and minimalistic home goods here, mostly from Norway and Sweden. The products have a recurring theme of blacks, whites, wood, with an intermingling of some greys and graphic patterns. This very photogenic shop featuring many online favourites which you will be able to get your hands on. We spent quite abit of time here looking through every shelf and wall of pretty items, but I mean how often do we find ourselves in Bangkok.
The store is just slightly over 2 years old and has a massive online following on both Facebook and Instagram.. undoubtedly from their daily postings of items everyone would want in their homes.
Things to Make and Do is located at The Bloc, surrounded by an ice cream shop, cafe and restaurant - perfect location to shop and eat till your hearts (and tummy's) content. The store features a collection of items she personally enjoys.

You'll find tables, chairs, lighting, sofas.. sounds too good to be true? Well it's true.. pinch yourself and head over to the DREAM showroom as soon as possible! I myself headed over during the weekend and picked up a handful of chairs, couldn't be more satisfied with my purchases! (I am sitting on one of them right as I type this.)
For those who are interested, the sale is now on till 31st October at the DREAM showroom along River Valley Road.. You can see which 50 pieces are on sale here.
If you can have any iconic piece of furniture in your home, which would you choose? Right now I am eyeing the wood table lamp by Zero as an accessory for the Bloesem home office (and it's one of the 50 pieces on sale too!).
