Pink Monday..

Mondays mornings can be brutal so let's kick this one off with a slow coffee and some soft pink.

Time for a new Volvo..

I have this thing with cars and right now I am obsessing with the new Volvo XC90 that was revealed yesterday and will be released in a week in a limited edition of 1927 cars...I want one of those!

& Other Stories

I am so impressed by & Other Stories brand, pictures and graphic profile and they just opened a Pinterest account where I found these amazing pictures from their Paris Atelier..No wonder they are good when they get to work in this office ..

Blues

Obsessed with bright blue..

My Ice Bucket Challenge

This is way to private for my comfort zone but it is my way of accepting the #als #icebucketchallenge.
About 12 years ago my mother called me and said that when jogging the last days she had felt a sticky feeling in her toe and that she had the weirdest feeling that something was wrong and was now going to the hospital to check it out. I remember thinking she was acting hypochondric.
The day efter I was called to the hospital to be with her when they told her she had ALS and only a few years left to live. It seemed so unreal at the moment, we were laughing on our way home, saying how could it ever be possible for someone to die from a numb toe. Now I know,  she died two years later. ALS is a fatal, cruel disease with no cure.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is amazing and are spreading the awareness in a fantastic way. I can't bring myself to dump ice on my head, this is still way to sad for me but I challenge all my friends and readers, please help fighting for a cure. Dump ice and donate!
(I Sverige smsa ALS till 72901).

New posters

I am about to launch a collection of prints from my own work to be sold in Lotta Agaton Shop. First out are these two pictures from a job I did for Residence Magazine photographed by dear Kristofer Johnsson. They will be printed in 50 x 70 cm on 120 gram matt paper and will cost 500 SEK each.

Grey

 Grey sunday mood..

The Residency

Right now and up until November 2 The Apartment in Copenhagen runs an exhibition by Ilse Crawford that I'm dying to see, here is a sneakpeek.

Trompe l'oeil

Every summer the Abbey church of Bellay in Switzerland hosts a contemporary artist to make an exhibition in the magnificent barock church. This year it is photographer Renate Buser who has made a fantastic large scale trompe l'oeil exhibition. Read more here.

Greens

Hang on to the green..

Basalt

Basalt, a set of five coffeetables in burnt wood made from one single oak trunk by Studio Normal..Simplicity at its best.

Inwhite and blue

Last spring we did the pictures for the new fantastic Inwhite and Inblue porcelain series designed by Monica Förster for Rörstrand. Today it was finally released to the press and will be in the stores from October.

Gentry

I'm obsessed with the quilted fabric that is designed by Patricia Urquiola especially for the Gentry sofa by Moroso and as far as I know the only way to get hold of the fabric is to buy the sofa. Annoying...but good that the sofa is one of my favourites too.

A fresh start..

I have so many exciting projects going on this fall, one of them is that I am making a completely new website and a new look on the blog. It is really about time, the website has been closed and under construction for a year and the blog has never changed in five years. I can't wait for it to be released and I am so greatful to everyone involved in these projects who puts up with me being so picky with everything!

Brown

I'm trying to make peace with the fact that summer is over and the calendar is already full by talking myself into darker, moody, cosy colours..and it kind of works. Brown will do my fall...(with hints of summer skyblue and grassgreen).

Home away from home..

I love all the hotels decorated by Studio Ilse..and this might be one of her best, SoHo House Berlin.
