Quick Fix

I really like the pivoting wall lamp designed by Jean Prouvé in 1950 and produced by Vitra today. The only hiccup is that it’s huge. It is two meters long. So when I discovered that Vitra had produced a small amount of the original Petite Potence lamp in beautiful shades of green, I was sold. I […]

Sheepskins are the loveliest thing to sit on. I like to store them for summer, though, to make room for lighter textiles. As the temperatures drop, it is time to bring back all things woollen and furry. The Line carries a beautiful, basic selection of Icelandic sheepskins with long hair. I have also found great […]

Private 0204 is a Danish textile house known for their revitalized and re-designed vintage rugs. Each rug is an individual, a handspun pure hemp kelim rug with a forty to fifty years history.

To do

My home city Helsinki is like a little village. As nice it is to have coffee and do grocery and flower shopping on your home street, sometimes it is good to walk a little further and explore. In my case, it means some type of weekend stroll around the city. An exhibition, maybe a book […]
