Sweden & Coffee by Raúl Arribas is an experiment with two Swedish traditions: glass blowing and coffee. The coffee set is primarily made of glass, blown by Reino Björk . We love the copper, smoky smooth glass paired with the textured cork.

Private Cloud by Manuel Kloker looks like a giant rocking chair, or to be more exact like a rocking bed. The bed requires a little more space than a “normal” bed but we're pretty sure that this bed can offer new experiences to any couple. The bed will sway when someone touch es it, but it can also lock into a certain angle of tilt. Looking for something a little more conventional>

Graham Johnston creates and produces a range of high quality contemporary vases. His Ness and Beauly vases not only allow you to display the flower heads but also the flower stems through a series of channels. The Ness vase is wall mountable and Beauly is a free standing, double-sided vase. Both are suitable for a range of flower types working exceptionally well with fresh tulips! The water trays provided ensure that enough water reaches the flower and it easy to top up. Yes, you can use artificial flowers too:)

One of these things is not like the other. If you guess the townhouse in the middle — you are right! This townhouse in Landskrona, Sweden by Elding Oscarson is quite different than its neighbors. The narrow site is sandwiched between very old neighboring buildings. Three thin slabs are projected into the open volume, softly dividing its functions. The continuous interior space is opening up to the street, to an intimate garden, and to the sky. Great space!

The Shorefast Foundation and the Fogo Island Arts Corporation commissioned Todd Saunders of Saunders Architecture to create a series of six artists’ studios on Fogo Island, which is located outside of Newfoundland, Canada. The organization is committed to preserving the Islanders’ traditions and rejuvenating the island through the arts and culture. This project was ideal for Saunders, who happened to grow up in Newfoundland. These buildings represent three of the six studios, which are located on beautiful, dramatic sites. We think we could be creative here, especially with furniture selection!
