Happy Weekend

This week was short for me,
due to sick days I had to go through.
Nonetheless I'm glad it's Friday and I feel healthy again.
During the weekend I try to catch up in the studio.
Looking forward to it.

No extra plans, no stress.
That's my philosophy today.

These photos below remind me of our fun trip to Stockholm two weeks ago!

Happy Weekend

Hey it's Friday!

This week went so fast (they often do, don't you think).
This weekend I'll be celebrating with H: it's our 10 years anniversary!
Well, as we aren't married I'm not sure if I can call it an anniversary.
But I will anyways.
*love*

Cake and champagne!

Stockholm Furniture Fair: Favorites

We spent the weekend in Stockholm and visited the Furniture Fair on Saturday. Here are just a few of my favorites I saw in Green House which is an area dedicated to young emerging designers and art schools.

Amazing origami lightning by PIORA 

Versatile "Ena" bench systems by Eleonor Horner

Beautiful cloth hanger "Stick with me" by Sara Roxana

Lovely lace edged mini table set by Maria Bjorlykke

I hope to see these pieces in shops soon but it may take some time as most of these were now showcased as prototypes. I can totally see some of these produced with craftsmanship methods but the future will tell which path these designers will choose.

I'll post some fun souvenir pictures + more soon. 

Have a happy day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

It's freezing cold in Southern Finland today: -21 celsius so I'll be adding wood to our fireplace.

I spent the weekend in Stockholm with H and what a great time we had. I had a chance to meet with sweet Carolina yesterday. We met at Moderna Museet, visited the current exhibition, checked out the Architecture Museum and chatted with a cup of coffee. I'll post some pictures this week!

I also met Saori, my Japanese friend at the furniture fair, she had her work on display at Konstfack's space. We spent almost all day at the fair. There's always so much to see and the most inspiring things are usually exhibited by students. I absolutely want to share a few of my favorites later this week.

Stockholm Calling

I'm going to make a day visit trip to Stockholm this weekend. I received a gift certificate from my aunt so I'm ever so grateful for her belated birthday gift! This grants for a free cruise so we'll be leaving today, arriving to Stockholm Saturday morning, spending a day in town and return to Helsinki on Sunday morning. One day is just perfect to visit Moderna Museet, take a look at small shops around Södermalm and enjoy a cup of coffee and lunch there. Thanks so much Britta and Amanda for your flea market tips I asked for. I've marked them on my map already. Maybe I'll make some vintage finds in Stockholm tomorrow!

I wish a nice weekend to all of you!
