Tine K Home Spring/Summer 2013 collection

Danish homewares brand Tine K Home was founded in 1999 by Tine Kjeldsen and her husband Jacob Fossum. The couple lives on Funen (Denmark) with their three children Klara, Tilde and Konrad.

Their new Spring/Summer 2013 collection is named MUST - and it's full of must-haves :-). Lots of new handmade items for your spring home. Hereby some pictures from their newest Collection. All new items will be available in stores and online end February and onwards.

Cartoon design

With these products you can create your own cartoon at your home :-)! 1 Lamp Beautiful Bulb by Annebet Phillips. This lamp is from a series of lampshades that celebrate the beauty of the light bulb. Funny thing is that the lastname of the designer is “Phillips” which also is the name of a Dutch company which made a lot of light bulbs! 2 Annebet also designed My couch, my canvas. The couch has no loose cushions. The cushions are integrated in the shape of the couch. 3 What an eye catcher this wardrobe would be in a nursery or bedroom! This Wardrobe is from The Trip Cartoon collection from Seletti. The design is from Selab. 4 Established & Sons is one of my favourite brands. They have an original and beautiful collection. Did you know that this British design brand is co-founded by Alasdhair Willis, Stella McCartney's husband? In 2010 he resigned from his position as co-founder and chief executive, but fortunately the brand is still existing nowadays. This Low cabinet is from their Principal collection. 5 Tavolino Coffee table, also from The Trip Cartoon collection from Seletti.

New hotel in Amsterdam

Amsterdam is a beautiful hotel richer. The new Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht hotel has opened its doors. Set on the Prinsengracht (Prince’s Canal), this 122-room hotel is surrounded by the unique cultural scene and spirit of the lively Jordaan district and adjacent “Nine Streets”. The atmosphere & design from the hotel reflects a modern view of Dutch history and local culture. The responsible designer is the Dutch Marcel Wanders. In overall I love his designs and even more I admire his entrepreneurial spirit. I didn’t visit the hotel in person yet, but when I am in Amsterdam I hope to see it in “real life” soon!

 

Birth announcement cards

Today I show you two birth announcement cards from the collection cards I designed for Jut en Jul design. Hope you'll like them! See their website for the entire collection. Though it's a Dutch company they also ship abroad! Anne Marije from Jut en Jul design is a very nice lady who can help you find your perfect birth announcement cards! 

Ferm Living Spring/Summer 2013

The products from Ferm Living always make me happy. For example I have a thing (like many of us) with the simple graphic "house" shape, and what do I see in their new Spring/Summer 2013 collection? This lovely House shelving system! Also their other products are characterized by good shapes & sophisticated color use. So do have a look at their website for more loveliness.

Silver

Silver it is! Well to be honest not particularly a hot trend at the moment, but I like it. I don’t wear a lot of jewelry, but the few rings I have are silver. When I was younger I thought that when I was “big” I was going to like gold more over silver (for some reason I thought silver was for the youth and gold for the grown ups :-)). But this change of taste never happened, I still prefer silver. Also love a good silver(look) object in an interior. 1 This silver Miffy money box is actually my favorite baby shower gift to give. I also sell it very well at my webshop Designshoppen, so you can say it’s a popular gift here in The Netherlands. I see it as a little Dutch design item that everybody must have in their nursery. 2 This Flos lamp is designed by Philippe Starck. When I was creating this blogpost it occurred to me that Mr. Starck has a preference for silver too, as he designed several products in this shiny “color”! 3 The bow is a lamp called Surprise Surprise and what do I need to say more about it? It’s a real eye catcher from Artecnica. 4 This Kong chair is also from Philippe Starck and is not really new, but I think is still going strong. Emeco is the brand that sells the chairs, they also have brushed versions. 5 Piet Hein Eek designed this silver plated jug. It has a sturdy look and also this one would be a real eye catcher in the dining room.

 

My resolutions for the New Year!
