Åkerlundska Villan - a dreamproject

.
My week could start better than with the latest interior project of Lotta Agaton.

Lotta has developed the total interior concepts, kitchens and bathrooms for the
Akerlundska Villan project and I cant stop admiring the photos
made by Pia Ulin on the blog of Lotta. It looks so pretty!

The Akerlundska Villan is a 1800 th century beautiful castle that is transforming to

nine Apartments by BTH bostad. Ruxandra Halleröd at Christian Halleröd Design and

Helene Amundsen has done the architecture

At the new issue of Residence magazine.se we will be able to read all about

the stunning dream project and admire more photos...

Can't wait to have my own copy!

SKULPTUR - Eva Lang

"At first glance, Eva Lange's sculptures may seem deceptive. Their distinctive lines and white surfaces indicate abstraction and an uncompromising relationship to form. But Eva Lange’s art is not abstract, nor does it intend to mislead the viewer. These sculptures are figurative in the strictest sense of the word – and sincere. It is perhaps a different kind of representational art than the one we are most familiar with; a kind of figuration that goes beyond external characteristics, and keeps on searching, inward, in the hope of capturing that which is the essence of the poppy, the tree, the rain, and the heart."

It still takes a while but now that the days are slowly getting shorter,

first signs of autumn are arriving and while my mailbox is filled with the

latest Christmas items and ideas, I must admit I already caught myself

thinking about wishlists!

As I have said many times, IG is a great source of inspiration for me,

so when I saw the amazing sculptures and the beautiful book - designed by Dry -
about the work of Eva Lang (Member of the Royal Academy of Arts) at the

IG-feed of Dry studios today, I started to fill my wishlist immediately...

The book consists of such beautiful pictures of her amazing work,

shows the story behind about her creative work and looks so inspiration...

A real musthave in my opion when you love art and sculptures!

You can find all about the book Skulptur here and discover her work as an

ever-broadening investigation into the nature of things...

Annaleenas private home

After my summer break I couldn't start better than with this amazing home!

Probably you have already seen it at the blogosphere but for me the home of

talented Swedish stylist Annaleena Leino-Karlsson is one of the most

inspiring homes that I have seen lately... I really enjoyed the feature and the interview in

Residence Magazine with Annnaleena when I was in France...

Beautiful warm minimalism as I love it so much,

You can find it here!

New Fav - BEOplay A1

Sundaymornings are for slow starts dont you think so?

This morning - my first vacayweekend - started with lots of coffee,

listening to some good music and ofcourse with the
best company... my family :-)

And it really was a fun day... A little while ago I was looking for a

new portable bluetooth speaker to take with us during our vacation to France,

or for cosy evenings with family and friends in the garden or just to use indoors.

Since I really like a good sound and a beautiful and stylish design aswell

I ended up at the products of B&O at online warehouse fonQ.

Yesterday we finally received the Beoplay A1 Bluetooth speaker (designed by
Danish designer Cecilie Mantz) and from that moment our home was filled

with the most varied music because the speaker has accompanied the whole family during

the day. Everybody wanted to try it - and keep it ;-) - and with its compact design
(only Ø 13.3 cm) the Beoplay fits easily in the palm of your hand, but it's even easier to
carry or hang it with the leather strap.

And I must say, even tough the speaker is very small, behind the aluminum case

go two speakers, good for a peak power of 280 Watts and in addition, the stunning

True360 sound is spread in all directions. So it doesn't matter where you place

the speaker, the sound always reach your destination in a perfect way!

Beoplay A1 is designed to take its fair share of bumps and scrapes while still

protecting the delicate drivers and electronics inside. The more it travels with you,

the more stories it can tell, they say at B&O, So it's just perfect to join us this week when
we will travel to our sunny vacay destination at the South of France...
Can't wait to try it out there and enjoy the cosy moments!
