Straight from Denmark - fresh designs by Christina Liljenberg Halstrøm.

'Beddo' sofa - minimal beauty with sculptural upholstery - soft, woolen duvets can be arranged in different configurations and the wooden backrest is removable. Japanese inspiration is obvious at first sight (and in Japanese 'Beddo' means 'bed') - the sofa invites us to sit almost at the floor level. We change our perspective and what is more - the way we usually position our bodies while resting.

'Gym the luxe' is a fun sitting set made with vegetable tanned leather, organic wool, organic kapok and walnut. Minimum space required to create a confortable resting corner!

Both design were awarded by the Danish Arts Foundation.

Glimpt: design and craftmanship

Fun designs from Swedish design duo Glimpt - Mattias Rask and Tor Palm. Meaningful project, created in co-operation with craftsmen and inspired by their traditional techniques: Superheroes seagrass stools were hand-woven in Vietnam and Forbiden Fruit lamps with hand-decorated ceramic shades were made by The Potters Workshop from South Africa. New prototypes are still coming!

Gubi: deliciously styled

Great photograps from Gubi catalogue. Superb styling! Worth noticing: Adnet Mirror by Jacques Adnet (with rock'n'roll leather straps!), Gubi 5 and Gubi 33D chair collection (beautiful wooden base), PD lamp series (graphic in elegant black and fun in colorful, bright finishes).
