This week was pretty exciting blog wise - on Monday I took you to Portugal, on Tuesday I shared a fab room in the USA, on Wednesday I shared a design brand from Israel with you and yesterday we took a little trip to Denmark and one of their cool interior brands. And today? Well today I'll go a bit local if you want so - let's see what the design scene in Germany has to offer. And I am happy that I not only have a creative young design label to share with you, but a giveaway too!
Germany and the Germans are known to be very environmentally conscious so it comes as no surprise that sustainable design ideas thrive in Germany. One of these young creative labels is Berlin based Kimidori. You are absolutely right if you feel like that sounds more Japanese than German - the name is Japanese indeed and means something like 'green vitality' (ki = vitality, midori = green). And Kimidori is all about sustainable design: they stand for cool and urban upcycled furniture pieces made of palettes.
The Kimidori team has designed a great range of coffee tables, chairs, stools, lighting and storage solutions - all made of reclaimed palettes. One of their latest pieces is the 45° stool or side table. This piece stands out with its simplicity, the reference to nature and comes in four colours (nature, white, grey, black) and it has won the 2nd place for the Green Product Award in 2013/14. The Kimidori team was so nice to offer one of their 45° stool for a giveaway to one of you, my dear readers.
What do you have to do to enter the giveaway? Just leave a comment under this blog post and tell me where you will put your Kimidori 45° stool in your home. Specify also the colour that you wish to win and make sure to join in until July 25th, midnight CET. The giveaway is open to all readers from the European Union (sorry for all the others). The winner will be chosen randomly. Good luck everyone!

Sooo pretty! We'd probably put it in the our dining/living room which we've just started to remodel. I'm sure it would look perfect! All colours are great, but I think nature is best!
ReplyDeletewhat a great design concept, thank you for sharing it! I really like the grey stool and would put it in my living room.
ReplyDeletehave a great day

Dear Igor,
ReplyDeletethe white one would fit so perfectly into my wardrobe, right next to the dresser... Have a good start into the weekend! Greetings from Fürth, Tanja
That label name is just too cool! I like the white-ish stool a lot and would use it with a ceramic platter underneath to display a larger bonsai I have in my living.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be a pretty perfect combination?? :-) Have a wonderful weekend, Igor and thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Hi Igor, thank you very much for bringing up such great designers and ideas :). I love this style, that palette chest of drawers has stolen my heart :). I love this stool, yay! Would be over the moon if I won one :D. I would put it just in front of my sofa, to look at it and stroke the wood :))). I noticed that bigger coffee table just collects things which I don't want to have there every day (my daughter has her part in this crime ;)), so I was thinking to get something smaller, just for a coffee and some plant.. And maybe a candle :). And I love the lightest-colored one.
ReplyDeleteThank you once more and fingers crossed for all the participants, good luck everybody :) <3
WoW, I just love the stool, and I love the fact that its a sustainable design!
ReplyDeleteI would place the stool in my bedroom, close to my bedside, its going to
look great there... So thank you for a wonderful give away!
Take care/ Marie from Sweden

Wow, how wonderful - the label youre showing today is so fantastic.I have seen the furnitures made out of paletts on the fairs in Frankfurt and Paris and I definitely felt in love with them.
ReplyDeleteSo I would love to win the white one. I would put it next to our balinesian day bed in our living room.
Happy Friday to you,
Corinna
Thanks for this lovely giveaway, Igor, and also for introducing this nice label! The nature stool would be perfect for our movie room/little lounge area. It's not a big space, so it's very practical that this piece can serve as an extra seat as well as a side table :-).
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I really love the white stool.
ReplyDeleteI would put it in my living room.
Hallo Igor, sehr tolle Sachen. Ich bin irgendwann bei der Couchtischsuche schon mal darauf gestoßen. Wäre ich der glückliche Gewinner, dann würde ich den weißen Hocker in meinen Flur stellen - eine kleine Ablage für Post und Co. Und natürlich zum Schuhe anziehen.
ReplyDeleteSchönes Wochenende

Hallo Igor, danke für die Kimidori-Vorstellung! Seit ich meinen Couchtisch weggeräumt habe, habe ich viel mehr Platz in meinem Wohnzimmer, und viel weniger Unordnung - aber halt auch nichts, wo ich meinen Tee abstellen könnte, und ein Buch, und vielleicht einen Apfel und eine hübsche Kerze und ein Blumensträußchen ... aber wie gesagt, Couchtisch brauch ich nicht! :D
ReplyDeleteIch würde gerne den Hocker in schwarz gewinnen, der ist berauschend schön! (Und dabei bin ich eigentlich keine Schwarz-Freundin!)
Der weiße Hocker würde wirklich wunderbar in die neue Wohnung passen, in die ich nächste Woche einziehe :)
ReplyDeleteSchönes Wochenende!
Ooooooooh! Der graue Hocker würde perfekt neben meine weisse Relaxcouch vor dem Kachelofen passen. So könnte ich auch endlich meinen Kaffee stilgerecht abstellen. Herzliche Grüsse nach München!
ReplyDeletehey folks
ReplyDeletei would put it in my berlin old fashioned flat right in the middle of my living room. i really love the dark brown coloured one! cheers
One of the wonderful things about this beautiful piece is that it can be used in so many different places in my home. I'd love the white stool in my entrance hall to start.
ReplyDeleteHey Igor!
ReplyDeleteI recently visited Prague and bought this beautiful, little statue... I think the dark brown/grey one would provide the perfect space for the little madame...
Have a great weekend! Thanks!
I would love to go with the white one for my very first owm design office to impress my new clients. Wabooooom!

Hi Igor, We are currently in the muddy foundation stage of having a lovely Oak framed orangery added to our house. We're not rich, we just really wanted it to fit with the area which is a little 'village' hidden near wembley. So, I'd put to stool in there as we'll have no cash to furnish it (!) and also it will look great and bring some modernism to a classic space. I would go for the Grey one.
ReplyDeleteWow, das wäre ja ein toller Gewinn und würde in weiß perfekt in mein neues Wohnzimmer passen. Und wenn ich dann mal viel zu Arbeiten habe, vielleicht auch neben den Schreibtisch ; )
ReplyDeleteIch suche noch nach einem Nachtisch für mein neues Schlafzimmer im Natur-Leinen-Holz-Weiß-Look. Das wäre dann genau der 45°-Hocker in weiß... Faust auf Auge, Topf auf Deckel! Schönen Gruß aus Bremen!

Medium brown in the library with the candlestick...;)
ReplyDeleteDer weiße Hocker würde bei mir neben dem Bett als Nachttischchen einziehen dürfen.
ReplyDeleteDa würde er einfach wunderbar hin passen :)
Cool brand. There's a company here in London who upcycle from Palettes but these guys here do it better. I would opt for the very dark (black one?) and use it as a night table in my bedroom.
ReplyDeleteThank you Igor for the opportunity.
Hey Igor, what a great opportunity! The only thing, that is left from the 'Kinderzimmer' in our apartment, is my boyfriend's nightstand. We would love to switch it for such a cool design object like a black (dark, dark brown) stool…. *FINGERSCROSSED*
ReplyDeleteXO, Anastasia
Der Hocker (in Weiß) würde perfekt als kleiner Beistelltisch in meine Leseecke passen - den Stapel Bücher und die obligatorische Teetasse zum Draufstellen besitze ich schon! ;-)

I would love to win the white one...for my bedroom:-) Hvala
ReplyDeletemarijana.slavica@gmail.com
I would put it on my bedroom! Love that!
ReplyDeleteIch mag den Hocker/Beistelltisch am liebsten in natur. Der würd super in unser Wohnzimmer neben der Couch passen.
ReplyDeleteconny-peters@gmx.de
Sehr schönes Label, was du uns da vorgestellt hast. Ich würde gern den schwarzen in unser neues Wohnzimmer stelen Momentan schleifen wir die alten Dielbodenbretter ab. Dann soll es vom Farbkonzept eher s/w werde und ich wollte mich jahreszeitlich mit Deko und Stoffen austoben. Neben das schwarze Sofa würde es dann passen.
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße aus Dresden!

Ein sehr schönes Stück Design! Ich würde mich in weiß oder schwarz darüber freuen. Um den Hocker würde sich wohl Flur oder Schlafzimmer (als Nachtkästchen) streiten. Momentan wohl eher Schlafzimmer, da er farblich als auch durch seine geometrische Form super zur neuen Tagesdecke (ferm l.) passen würde..

As COO at Artfetch I love seeing young emerging talent getting an opportunity to be seen by the public. And even better if the production is environmentally friendly!
ReplyDeleteI would dedicate a corner of my kitchen to this beautiful little stool in the yellow-blonde color on the far left of the first image. It looks like a great way to invite friends and family to sit down while cooking or to use as a quick step-stool to reach the high above counter storage.
Love the blog!

Woo, sooles Teil! Wir sind erst letzten Monat umgezogen und das neue Riesenwohnzimmer könnte noch ein tuffiges Möbeldingens vertragen:D Am liebsten das Weiße; Couch und Sessel sind schon abgefahren farbig, der Rest bleibt beruhigend weiß;)
ReplyDeleteLiebe Grüße, Sabine =)
Geiles Teil,... würde in dunkelbraun unglaublich gut zu meiner restlichen Einrichtung im Wohnzimmer passen,... Unglaublich cooles Teil und Riesenkompliment an den Designer,...
ReplyDeleteBeste Grüße
Patrick

ReplyDeleteRichtig tolle Hocker. Ich würde mir den weißen vor meine Schminkkommode stellen!
ReplyDeleteLG Lisa
love it! I would use the grey as a bedside table.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I would LOVE to win the lighter version - So timeless, with a beautiful simplicity. I recently revamped my bathroom, and I'm still looking for a gorgeous table/stool to put next to the bath, with my marble tray, Le Labo products, a loofah... Perfect for pampering days!
ReplyDeleteAs you might know, I'm based in Canada, but I also have an address in the Netherlands. Am I still eligible? :D
Wow, der weiße Hocker würde sich super gut als Nachttischen in meinem Schlafzimmer machen.
ReplyDeleteA perfect small side table to go beside my bed - will keep safe track of my Iphone during the night ;-) Would love the version in nature. Keep on rocking and blogging Igor! Best regards, Søren from Denmark (kirkegaard@trojborgvej.dk)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, I am still looking for a small side table in our wintergarden to go with my reading chair. Thus I would defunction the nature stool and be happy to be the lucky winner :)
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletehab grade meinen Umzug überstanden u versuche
nun das restliche Chaos zu beherrschen.
Es fehlen überall noch Dinge und u.a. auch ein
Beistelltisch. Sollte das Los auf mich fallen, so
würde der weiße sehr gut passen.
Danke übrigens für Deinen Blog. Er ist mir oft
eine gute Inspiration.
Gruß Lara
