When it comes to interior design, classy and contemporary certainly wins me over. When it comes to incorporating an element that brings a space together, much like a coffee table does in a living room, an investment is something I’ ll not avoid doing.

Adelphi (sounding much like the Greek word “adelphoi” meaning brothers) originating from Brazil, made available via Modloft, is one whose lines and materials got me at first sight. I love the combination of curves and lines. Elegant, thin metal legs in a cross design, holding a simply fabulously designed surface. Continue reading →

Meet Caddy by Joseph Joseph. It has come to make clutter near the sink history. Washing up liquid bottles, brushes, sponges and wet or dry dishcloths will be all happily living together under the same roof.

Sounds like a dream? Well, in this case dreams can easily and inexpensively come true. In two color combinations, a dark and light grey one and a white and fresh green one, this set of convenience provides a basket to store the liquid bottle and brush, while the wet dishcloths can be comfortably hanging from the integrated rail, getting all nice and dry.

When good design meets nature, then a family of lamps designed by Miguel Herranz , win the “design plus” award in “Lighting and Building” hosted in Frankfurt, 2006. Being a confessed nature lover and a design lover simultaneously, these lamps could hardly have slipped my attention, while easily won my appreciation. Continue reading →

There is something about capturing moments involving movement that somehow amazes me. The whole thing of capturing anything that can’t actually be captured is fascinating, not?

Concerning product design, a perfect example is the Dropp bowl, designed by German Niels Romer for Menu. Admittedly brilliantly and uniquely designed, it simulates a drop of paint falling and it guarantees to both make a statement with its existence, while successfully serving various needs.

Yesterday, as I was opening my package from Vermont Rolling Pins, the first thing that came to mind was “Craftsmanship”. Smooth and lightweight, my new French rolling pin was nestled in its box, waiting for me to lift it up in my hands and feel the ever-so-smooth Maple wood material and the slightly curved shape of this fabulous cooking tool – The fact that it was light as a feather seemed to make me smile even more.

Hello prettiest of measuring cups ever! I can hardly control my enthusiasm when a product seems to fulfill my highest expectations. You see, I’m one of these modern housewives, who combine taking care of a household with working from home and I must admit that nothing relaxes me more than spending a little time in the kitchen, baking a simple but delicious and favorite chocolate cake. All that in between (or very often during as well) styling, photographing, writing blog posts and articles for Busyboo of course ; ) Continue reading →

Keeping a work surface clear and clean seems vital to my creativity and work pace, since typing on a keyboard and looking at a screen is an essential part of my job. Teas accompanied with mini snacks are often the case throughout a whole day and they sometimes do take place on the spot.

Can I also have a cup of cleanness to go with my cup of tea please? Yes? Wonderful. Cause I’d like to be able to separate the tea bag from the chocolate’s pretty wrapping, even before they reach the official recycling station, stylishly and discretely finding place in our kitchen down stairs. Continue reading →

I do love me some household jobs and the more stylishly I can do them, the merrier I am!
What about indoor gardening and watering cans? Well, in that case, I’d like me a beautiful and functional one, pretty please! One that I wish to display rather than hide away while not in use; one that its dynamic design marries nicely with its soft and kind curves. One that he will most probably like to use too, increasing my chances of getting help watering plants around the house. Blink ; )

Like the one from Eva Solo, the Danish brand designing furnishing accessories. This pretty can, available in all classic white, charcoal grey and fresh green, gets all handy with its removable spout, so that it can comfortably be filled up under your tap. Continue reading →

The popularity of open plan living is definitely not declining – it seems people want it more and more. Especially those who live in big, busy cities, where open space is quite the luxury. If it’s possible to keep a space free and open, allowing the light to invade and give the space more of an airy feel, most would usually opt for that scenario.

A joined kitchen, living and dining area has become synonymous with modern life. But as nice as this concept seems, it can be challenging to keep the space organized in terms of function and to keep it flowing at the same time. That’s why a bookcase like Pearl from Modloft is a real jewel for any open space. Continue reading →

There is something hypnotic about candles. During the years people created different holders to enhance the beauty of candle light, then came Tom Dixon and created the astonishing Etch Candle Holder – after you see the light effect from one of those you will fill your house with thousand of candles.

Inspired by the logic of mathematics and the geometry of Geodesic structures, the design of the Etch is very sophisticated and you need to look at it several times to really absorb the beauty it holds. It features squares and hexagonal panels made from sheets of brass (.016“ thick) that were acid-etched to create a beautifully-detailed patterns. Continue reading →
