horizons

I'm not sure where this image is from (it is from my every growing pile of fav images).
if it is yours please let me know!

I love this photo, new horizons are a wonderful thing!

animals rule

Hailing from Cape Town, Animal Farm have created a great little Lite. Made from plantation timber and designed to fit an energy saving light bulb, these little timber creations not only look wonderfully raw and natural, they have minimal impact on the environment too!

no dyes or stains are used on the timber, and the red flex pictured is a great contrast too!

tropicalia fever

This range was released back in 2008 at the Milan Furniture Show, but I had to mention them, even if it is a few years late! Designed by the super talented and prolific designer Patricia Urquiola, these creations remind me of the 70's string art that my grandmother had (and I always loved!). These stylish seat versions are available for indoors and out. It's hard to decide, neutrals or colour?!

floral inspiration

A little bit of floral inspiration! This is the home and studio of artist Claire Basler. Can you guess which country?! A hint, it's from the latest elle uk! As the creator of large scale floral panels, I love how her art and inspiration takes over the whole space, and with such a great sense of scale! C'est magnifique!

love the large scale pendant!

and even in the bathroom!
