Nerd Chair by David Geckeler

A new icon has been born - Nerd Chair, honoured by Beckers International Design Award 2011 and Muuto Talent Award 2012, has just been put into production and will arrive at the first shops next month. The concept refers to mid-century modern scandinavian design: clean, refined shape and construction simplicity - laminated plywood sheets connected without any metal elements.

The designer says: "To me, Nordic design is unique in terms of tradition well approved quality. It is fascinating to see how a new generation of young designers transform this heritage."

Stylish consistency

Design logic - an obligatory ingredient in interior styling. Understanding how materials and colours relate to each other. How textures contrast, complement, balance. Just like here: inteligent stylistic consistency. Essential to achieve a beautiful, harmonious effect. Inspiring!

Mid-Century modern in Stockholm

This apartment, flawless in its raw imperfection, belongs to one of the creative directors behind the swedish clothing brand Hope - Stefan Söderberg. The original herringbone parquet makes terrific background for Mid-Century modern pieces. I like the way the floors were renovated - sandblasting oak emphasized beautiful texture of old wood.
