    Photography © Jonas Ingerstedt I've had some very rough days after my dad's passing and after struggling between continuing to work or taking some days off I decided I wasn't being any productive or any creative and that called for a breather. I'm putting all my energy into taking a step forward today, coming back to work full time and trying to make plans ahead. Change is hard, I'm learning to live life a very different way and as hard as it may be I'm partly excited for the process of rebuilding and allowing myself to be once again inspired and full of good energy again. I'm stepping into this with the right foot, just fell in love with Linum and I of course, needed to share.

    Linum was founded over 50 years ago when an unexpected friendship blossomed between Swedish design and Indian craftsmanship. During his travels in India in 1966 Linum’s founder met two ambitious brothers, and this began what would become a life-long friendship and business partnership. They had shared visions and values concerning tradition, quality, and durability, and wished to create long lasting products in harmony with both nature and humans. Their SS16 Collection is inspired by Mrs. Cherry Hope. The name is a flirt with the jazz musician Don Cherry. His music has set the tone for the whole collection.

    Photography © Kristofer Johnsson Mateus ceramics merges the essence and beauty of Portugal and Sweden in several-astonishing pieces of art. I call it art because each piece is carefully handcrafted from clay and carefully planned by brilliant Portuguese Designers and distributed across Sweden. Lucky them!

    Kristofer Johnsson and Daniella Witte recently joined efforts for Mateus to create the lookbook for their latest Soft Minimal collection. Daniela's styling and Kristofer's photography, as always spot on and very appealing to every minimalist's eye.

    Photography © Studio Oink Silke Bonde is a Graphic designer and Artist based in Copenhagen. She's also my (and most probably one of your) favorite Artists. Her beautiful printed pieces are not only stunning but inspiring. Silke's "Looking Closer" Collection encourages us to take a closer look at nature and its elements; to ponder and notice all patterns and the evolution of the elements. The use of blue and green tones are characteristic of Northern nature and its beautiful, natural palette. Silke works with watercolors to symbolize the organic shapes found in the exterior. Her minimalist approach takes us right to the Northern Countries, giving us a taste of the stillness found in the outdoors.

    You can find these and more prints from Silke Bonde via her online shop and you can get free shipping by purchasing two or more prints. For more of Silke's work see her Instagram account or take a walk through Copenhagen with her.

    Photography © Fabian Fabian is a designer focused on the balance between the three following factors – practicality, comfort and aesthetics. This criteria determines the shape and the outcome of his designs, resulting in simple, minimalistic and refined product. For his graduation thesis, Zeijler designed ‘Momentum’ and ‘Pūrificātum’ – two products concerned with the purity of air. I just found this really late today but this is the style of design that makes me giddy. I love seeing people re-invent in a way that it's impossible for anyone to argue that these ideas are the future. Such a brilliant job, I can't wait to see more.
