[Advertisement – this is a paid post in collaboration with Iittala, but all words and opinions are my own] For me, weekend breakfasts are something to be savoured – a chance to sit back, relax and ease into the day in a way that’s never possible from Monday to Friday. I always like to dress the table to make them feel that little bit more special, whether it’s just Chris and me or we have . . .
The Audo – a new hybrid space from Menu
I have another highlight from 3 Days of Design to share with you today, and it's a place that definitely merits a dedicated post of its own. Called The Audo and unveiled to the public during the event, it's the new HQ of Danish design brand Menu. But it's also so much more than that - in fact, it's an office, a showroom, a boutique hotel, a concept store, a café and a co-working space all rolled . . .

But how many of the pieces that spring to mind are Norwegian? I'm guessing very few, and possibly none at all.
