K desk

 functional, clean and elegant

 designed for children

and so beautiful...

Really fell for the K desk designed by Rafa-kids, 

a studio owned by an architect couple and based in Rotterdam (NL)

Agata takes care of the esthetic side of the designs and 

her husband Arek is the technical brain of the duo. 

 K desk is made from Finnish birch wood and plywood and can be 

set in two different positions: an open and close one

my little ikea hack

pics elvs

a  few weeks ago I wrote about the Ikea ps 2014 collection

and from the first moment  I saw them

(despite the fact that I didn't like the used colors) 

one of my favorite accesories of that collection

was this decoration set of 3 designed by Mathias Hahn 

loved the shapes

and the fact that you can vary the look of the vases 

and choose what you want to keep in them by changing the lid

inspired by so much amazing modifications on - and simple addings 

of Ikea products seen at the original ikea hackers site

and to give it my own twist 

i bought my favorite colors in spray paint  

and made my own little ikea hack

what do you think? 

ps. did you ever "hacked" an Ikea product? 

Would love to see yours so please let me know!

black, white and wood

of black, white and a wood...

perfect to start this new week
