Concrete beauty

I´m passionatly in love with raw and rough concrete. I would love to lay concrete in our whole basement, with a coating of wax to give it some lustre. With the raw surface any piece of furniture pops and stand out even more.

Bold accents

It feels like the whole interior world in talking about colours again. Big, bright, bold colours. I have to admit that it´s refreshing after quite some time with lots of white. Althoug I think it´s easy to overdoze with colours if you´re not careful. To many bright colours togheter can often get busy for the eye. Therefor I love these pictures where they have added lots of colours, but in the details instead of on a big piece of furniture. These shots also represents an etnic impression, imperfection and individualism; key words for this season.

São Paolo bachelor pad

This trendy modern apartment is located in the West side of São Paulo and is the living quarters of a successful bachelor who wishes to reside near his company headquarters. The owner, FJ is a young DJ and entrepreneur and the the place is designed and renoveted by Studio Guilherme Torres. The apartment was a typical 1980´s flat and in desperate need of renovation. I love how they have integrated the lights into the walls and ceilings. The surface of concrete all over the place brings a contemporary feel which brings the best out of the impressive photos.

Beautiful use of space

It´s always great to see unconventional ways of using space. For me, it proves that anything is possible and I love the contrasts that these buildings contributes with. They bring a new flavor to the neighbourhood. These four homes come from completely different places in the world; no.1 is in Singapore, no.2 is in London and no.3 is in Landskrona, Sweden, no.4 in Barcelona.

Great danish design

Tine K Home is showing their new collection of beautiful items. I love how they have used the grey concrete and the weather-beaten wood to set the background. And I want one or two of the baskets, now...

The love of concrete

Via: Apostrophe...9 & Ilot Ilov

I dont know what it is but I have a fascination for raw, worn-out concrete walls. I love the patina from layers of old paint and the grey concrete. It is like the wall is telling us a story from the past. When I was in New York many years ago to get inspiration for a collection, all I photographed were cracks in the street and old walls.

Shades of grey

It is not always the most obvious beauty that last the longest. Sometimes pieces of everyday life can be stunning, if you look at them with an open eye.
