Jar for brushes

My paint brushes needed a place. An old cardboard candyjar got a new look with some harlequin wrapping paper from Minimega. Eiffel-eraser of course, from Paris.

Cardboard shelving

This brilliant design by Teemu Järvi will move into our house. Kasaa cardboard shelf is made out of a sturdy but lightweight cardboard. It comes in two different sized units that pile up to form a modular shelving system. The combinations are limitless. Each unit folds up with two flat-packed cardboard sheets without  glue or additional fittings. It can also be recycled as paper.

DIY iPhone case

I don't have an iPhone but I sure would like to have after I saw this great idea of a DIY-iPhone case by Korean Connect Design. You get a kit containing a rubber case, instructions, needle and thread and after some minutes or hours (or days), your phone will have the coolest case ever...

Paper art

Paper is one of my favourite materials because there's so much you can do with it. On a sunny Sunday I made a piece of colorful wall art with scissors, colorful papers and glue.

Techno folklore

Swedish born Emma Lundgren, a graduate from London Royal Collage of Art was named one of 2010’s up-and-coming fashion designers by Swedish ELLE Magazine. She is definitely a fashion talent to keep in mind. Her latest Samilight-collection is a fascinating combination of 21st century digital techniques and nordic artisan traditions such as print, knit, crochet and embroidery. She creates passionate fashion for those who want to take the nordic tradition to the wilder side. I just love the work and the attitude!

Spellbinding book

I'm a book lover. Especially I'm a fan of great illustration. 'Lumoojien sukua'-book by Nemo publishing is gorgeous! It's actually a pack of two books -one telling a story about a little girl and the other telling spellbinding tales of women that maybe had something to do with witchcraft. The illustration is by Benjamin Lacombe who has done very impressive work including a stunning pop-up book about the world's most known fairytales. If you can get a hold of this book or any of his books, please do -each one is a piece of art.

Stitch and Wooly

Stitch and Wooly are two chair designed by German designer Susanne Westphal. They are unfinished chairs that want to be finished by the user. I love the idea of combining the original and little bit of your own...
