New Milk Lamp & Colour Crush

It is past midnight while I am typing this words and I am unnaturally late with my blogpost writing today. But the reason was quite fancy - I organized a little blogger meet-up for the local Munich blogger community and we had a great evening with food and drinks. So, this intro was necessary as I had two glasses of chilled rosé and hope to be clear and comprehensible in today's post:-) On this happy Friday I chose to share with you a new cutie that  has moved into my apartment: the fabulous 'Milk Lamp' designed by Norm Architects and manufactured and sold by &tradition.

I am in love with this lamp because it is simple and sophisticated at the same time. It is a well designed table lamp that carries the essence of Nordic design in its DNA. The simple lines, the combination of natural materials such as wood in combination with glass, the warmth of its light - all this makes this lamp a design masterpiece. I particularly love the dimmer as you can adjust the light and atmosphere according to your wishes.

I have placed my new Milk Lamp on the sideboard in my bedroom and have created a little vignette around it featuring my current colour crush - blue and grey. I love the two colours in combination and I've added two small ceramic houses by Bloomingville, a vase by House Doctor with some coloured ribbon in it and a lovely watercolour painting by Greek artist Fiona Zakka. 

I am pretty happy with this vignette. What do you think? Do you like it? What about the Milk Lamp?

From Place To Space: Design in Copenhagen - Part Three

Ready for the final part of my Scandinavian design adventure in Copenhagen? After part ONE and TWO, here we go with the third and final day of my blog tour in Denmark. Let's roll!

Day 3 kicked-off with a breakfast in the studio of Norm Architects in downtown Copenhagen, where we were invited by &tradition, a Danish design company established in 2010 with the founding principle being tradition tied to innovation. We got a quick insight into the product portfolio including the new 'Catch Chair' by Jaime Hayon. Afterwards we were again challenged: to use the &tradition products and style a corner by ourselves. I blogged about the results HERE.

After the styling fun we visited the production facility of Carl Hansen, a furniture production established in the 19th century and still continuing the tradition of refined craftsmanship. They produce iconic chairs such as the 'Wishbone Chair' by Wegner and more. Funky fact: Within the factory, one of Denmark's last hat makers has its atelier and we peeked into it - great fun! After the factory tour we headed over to the new Carl Hansen flagship store and tested some of Denmark's finest furniture ourselves.

The final stop was a real summer highlight - we set foot on a boat in one of Copenhagen's canals and enjoyed chilled white wine and fresh fruits under the Scandinavian sun while the guys of the label 'Ocean Going' told us more about the 'Talent Street' area on the DesignTrade show. The PR rep of Kay Bojesen mingled with us too, and we all were relieved that leaving Copenhagen will be easy cause we will reunite in late August again. I can't wait!

Happy Monday!
