For the second part of my round-up from 3 Days of Design (you can see the first here), I'm focusing on three collaborations which draw on influences from Scandinavia and Japan. The two cultures' shared emphasis on simplicity, nature and traditional crafts mean it's a natural pairing, and the last few years have seen all sorts of projects involving designers and inspiration from both. All of the . . .
Highlights from 3 Days of Design 2019 | Part 1
As I mentioned earlier this week, I recently headed over to Copenhagen for 3 Days of Design - the Danish capital's annual design festival, which encompasses contributions from more than 150 Scandinavian brands, artisans and artists.

A city break in Almería
Although Chris and I spent most of our recent trip to Andalucía visiting friends in the Cabo de Gata Natural Park, we also took the opportunity to enjoy a three-night break in Almería - a treat to ourselves in the run-up to our second wedding anniversary.
