Modernism in Africa
Can you believe that this house was designed in 2003? Both cosy and elegant family home in Accra was created by Ghanaian architect Joe Osae-Addo. Inspiration? The contextual modernism of Finland’s Alvar Aalto, Australia’s Glenn Murcutt and L.A.’s Ray Kappe. The 2,500-square-foot house was build from local materials: timber and adobe mud blocks.
“It is not about edifice but rather harnessing the elements - trees, wind,
sun, and water - to create harmony, not the perfection that modernism
craves so much.”

Bohemian Paris
Spacious loft in the heart of Paris - an old printig house transformed into a cosy home. The magician behind the metamorphose: French sculptor Marie Bossée. Real bohemian atmosphere!

Christina Liljenberg Halstrøm
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.
