We're taking a virtual trip to the southern Italian region of Puglia today, for a look around the latest addition to Danish brand Vipp's collection of design-led guest accommodation: Villa Vipp. Since the creation of the initial Vipp Shelter by a Swedish lake, Vipp has been steadily growing its portfolio of bookable one-of-kind hideaways, each showcasing beautiful architecture, stunning . . .
New design finds | August 2023
Well, August has rolled around very quickly (and it's the month I turn 40 - eek!). Anyway, after a bit of a break while I shared all the news from Copenhagen's 3 Days of Design, my regular round-up of interesting product launches and minimalist design finds is back. So, read on for details of an updated take on the traditional Shaker kitchen, an elegant sofa collection, hand-crafted accessories . . .
A home-office revamp with an IKEA desk hack
As a self-employed blogger and freelance creative based at home, I find having a calm, clutter-free work environment is vital for staying focused and inspired. I count myself very lucky that we have a small box room that I can use as an office, and over the years it's gradually evolved to suit my needs. I've long been happy with the bones of it . . .
The Edit | A summer dinner party
A couple of weeks ago I shared an Instagram reel showing how I'd styled the table for a summer dinner party with friends. I had lots of people asking where various items came from, but I've had most of them for ages and sadly they're no longer available. So, I thought I'd use my latest instalment of 'The Edit' to round up some alternatives to help you recreate the look for yourself . . .
23 of the best minimalist outdoor wall lamps
I was researching minimalist wall lamps for a client's entryway the other day and came across so many beautiful designs that I had to share them with you. Good lighting can make a real difference to an outside space, and wall lamps are particularly versatile. They can be used for general ambient light or to highlight specific features; they're also ideal for porches and doorways . . .
Profile | Sculptor Katrine Blinkenberg
For me, one of the highlights of this year's 3 Days of Design was joining a workshop hosted by Kristina Dam Studio and Danish artist Katrine Blinkenberg, who have recently teamed up to produce a limited-edition collection of abstract sculptures. Called the 'Contour' series, it will be available from January 2024 and consists of organic forms that were initially hand-cast in plaster . . .

![[AD - paid partnership] If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you might be aware that I’ve long been worried about the damaging effects of indoor air pollution. But you might also know that I’ve found an effective way to tackle it thanks to the stylish and sustainable @briiv.natural air purifier, which has the air-cleansing power of 3,043 houseplants and produces 80.57% less CO2 over its lifetime than any other model on the market. We've used ours every day for the past three years, so I was delighted when Briiv asked me to try out their latest model, the Briiv 2 Pro.
The Briiv 2 Pro has all the features of the original, plus some clever extras: an AI-drive sensor that monitors air quality in real time, and a setting known as 'Canary Mode' that can activate it automatically whenever this drops beneath a certain level. The latter has been a game-changer for us in recent weeks, springing into life to deal with the harmful particles from traffic and nearby wood-burners long before we notice them seeping into our home. I'm sure it will be very useful come hay-fever season, too.
There's a full review on the blog, but in short, it's a great product that really does make a difference!
