As you may have guessed, I have a bit of an obsession with Scandinavian design. I love its sleek simplicity, its timeless lines and its blend of form and function, and I always get excited when I find a new Nordic brand to lust over. My latest discovery is AYTM, which is based in the Danish city of Aarhus. It was founded by Kathrine and Per Gran Hartvigsen, the duo behind well-known company . . .
Instagram Inspiration | Emilie Van Camp
This month’s Instagram inspiration comes from UK-based Belgian photographer Emilie Van Camp (@emilievancamp), whose images are beautifully striking in their simplicity.
