I have another inspiring exhibition from Stockholm Design Week to share with you today, this time from Japanese brand Ariake. Each year it teams up with like-minded companies to take over a historic location somewhere in the city, and its previous efforts - 'A Quiet Reflection' and 'The Phoenix Palace' - were highlights of Design Weeks 2018 and 2019 . . .
‘The Sculptor’s Residence’ by Norm Architects, Dux & Menu
What a busy month of travel I've had. I'd barely landed back from my trip to Finnish Lapland before I was off again, this time to Stockholm for its annual Design Week. I visit every year if I can and it's always inspiring, with more than 400 exhibitions and events across the city, as well as the huge Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair taking place on its outskirts . . .
Exploring Finnish Lapland in winter
[Advertisement - this post is based on a press trip, but all words and opinions are my own] Few places have captured my heart the way Finnish Lapland did. I loved the vast skies and the fresh Arctic air (the cleanest in the world, apparently). I loved the frozen lakes and the silent forests, with their towering pine trees and spruces twisted into otherworldly shapes under the weight of snow . . .
Early spring styling with Georg Jensen’s ‘Bloom Botanica’ collection
[Advertisement - this is a paid collaboration with Georg Jensen, but as always words and opinions are my own] I love living somewhere with distinct seasons, and I always relish watching the natural world change around me. Each time of year brings its own treats, and I try to savour them all - the golden evenings of summer, the colourful leaves of autumn, the sparkling frosts of winter . . .
A stay at Design Hotel Levi in Finnish Lapland
[Advertisement - this post is based on a press trip, but all words and opinions are my own] I've spoken before about my love of travelling to cold destinations, and Lapland - the remote, sparsely populated region that stretches across northern Finland - has always held near-mystical appeal. I've long dreamt of visiting in winter to experience its silent, snow-covered wilderness . . .
The spring-summer 2020 collection from Northern
Happy Monday everyone! I'm currently on my way to Stockholm for the city's annual Furniture Fair - always a great opportunity to soak up lots of Nordic design inspiration. It will also give me the chance to see some of the new-season collections in person, and one I'm particularly looking forward to catching is this from Northern . . .
Sunset & starling murmurations on the Somerset Levels
Although I love living in a city, I always appreciate escaping to the countryside for a few hours, and I'm lucky that Bristol is within easy reach of some of the most beautiful parts of the UK. One of my favourite areas to visit is the Somerset Levels - a vast swathe of wildlife-rich plains and wetlands whose watery vistas and ever-changing light always feed my soul . . .
The spring-summer 2020 collection from Menu
Details of new-season interiors collections are coming thick and fast, and I have another beauty to share with you today - this time from Menu. Not only is it brimming with gorgeous designs, it also provides a chance to have another peek inside The Audo - the brand's integrated Copenhagen HQ, hotel and showroom, and one of the most inspiring spaces I've ever visited . . .
A stylish chalet break in the French Alps
[Advertisement - this post is based on a press trip, but all words and opinions are my own] I love winter travel - some of my favourite holidays have taken me to frozen landscapes such as Iceland and West Sweden, and I'd choose snow and ice over a tropical beach any day. That said, I've always shied away from booking stays in classic ski destinations . . .
The spring-summer 2020 collection from Ferm Living
Today I'm sharing more new-season interiors news, this time from a brand whose launches I always look forward to seeing: Ferm Living. Over the past few years the Danish company has developed a focus on creating homes that are sanctuaries - sanctuaries where we can be ourselves, relax and enjoy all life's moments, big or small . . .
