A Brief Pause

Taking time out today to get over a rather nasty weather-induced migraine, so posts will be delayed for a bit. In the meantime, have a lovely day and see you soon. xo

Colour Play

I've featured the fascinating Copenhagen space called The Apartment before, but it's well worth revisiting. Located in a lovely 1790 house and transformed and renewed every few months, it's both showroom and shop for interior designers Tina Seidenfaden Busck and Pernille Hornaver. So inspiring — and love the bright colour accents. More here on Rum Hemma.

Atelier: Olaf Brzeski

I'm really liking this 2009 resin and soot installation by Polish artist Olaf Brzeski, called 'Spontaneous Combustion'. Works on so many different levels — including a rather sly sense of humour. More about Olaf and his work here.

Weekend

Happy weekend! Hope it's a lovely one. More cold weather here, so brisk walks and hearty brunches are looking good right about now — how about you?

Icelandic Influence

Björk and Birgir moved from Iceland to Copenhagen 17 years ago, but their love of their former homeland remains present in their surroundings, in elements such as raw stone, wood, white walls and organic shapes. Sculptures, paintings and rugs from travels further abroad make this an eclectic and very personal space, too. More here on Bolig Magasinet.
