Adelphi coffee table: two brothers

round-coffee-table-adelphi

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.

Dropp! Bowl: Capturing moments in time

decorative-bowl-dropp

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”.

Hello prettiest of measuring cups ever! I can hardly control my enthusiasm when a product seems to fulfill my highest expectations.

All that in between (or very often during as well) styling, photographing, writing blog posts and articles for Busyboo of course ; ) Continue reading

Trashcan mug: a cup of office cleanness

trashcan-bin-mug

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.

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 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

Pearl Bookcase: A Jewel For Any Open Space

room-divider-bookcase-pearl

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
