Bird juices




These funny and cute cartons are not in production yet but in my opinion they definitely should be. The cartons for fruit flavoured juices are a concept designed by Norwegian graphic designer and illustrator Mats Ottdal.  I'm waiting to see these birds in stores someday...

Lepokorpi AW1112

 

Saara Lepokorpi is talented and interesting Finnish fashion designer who makes stylish and very unique clothes. The collections include hand made, special pieces, locally produced at her studio in Helsinki. I have to say I really like her collections and especially these superb photos from her Autumn/Winter collection by Liisa Valonen.

Piles of suitcases


Belgian designer Maarten de Ceulaer has made these intriguing piles of suitcases exclusively for Gallery Nilufar. All pieces of the series were made in close collaboration with one of most renowned leather artisans in Brussels, Ralph Baggaley. They are both wardrobe cabinets and pieces of art at the same time...what a great idea and great colours.

Airport in a box


I'm not a big fan of airports because they are busy and usually quite ugly. However, this one I like and it's very nicely designed too. The portable play airport from MoMA Store is made out of wood and when playing is done, it can be stored in a box. The box size is roughly 25cm x 23cm and the set includes two aeroplanes, a helicopter and runway tracks.

Colours of snake


There is a snake in the house! This crocheted snake took me two nights to make. No rules, except use lot's of colours!

Dream bookshelf


I have a lot of books and I keep getting more because I can't help it -I love stories and the feel of the paper. I have tried to arrange our bookshelf so that it would look nice but still it does't look anything like this. Dream bookshelf by String.

Norwegian folklore




I found a traditional Norwegian pullower for my daughter at the fleamarket and for some reason I'm really liking the Norwegian folkloric patterns at the moment (maybe it's the cold weather...) Scarf (1) is from Amundsen Sports , pillows (2) from Pur Norsk and woolen dress for little girls by great, crazy company called Ugly Children's Clothing (3). All lovely and warm!
