ON MY RADAR #26

On my radar: 1.) The soft moody colours in this lookbook of Incy Interiors (via Eclectictrends) // 2.) These beautiful Amphion Loudspeakers styled by Susanna Vento // 3.) Holed is a collection of boxes and storage objects by Studio Eo. Wooden storage boxes made in birch wood with the advantage to see through what’s inside. // 4.) A very cool way to style an eyelet dress by Le Fashion!

DESIGN CRUSH: THE ATOLLO LAMP BY OLUCE

Lately an icon has made it on top of my wishlist: the Atollo Lamp by Oluce. One of the best know symbols of Italian design wordwide, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1977. I love the geometrical construction of its shapes: the cone on the cylinder and the semisphere above all. Atollo comes in different sizes and materials, my favourite is the opaline glass version. Available for example at Ambiente Direct (Swiss people have a look at Goodform!) 

And it seems like I'm not the only one – here we go with some lovely interiors featuring the Atollo. Sources: 1.) Residence // 2.) Plastolux  // 3.) Studio Oink // 4.) Plastolux // 5.) Plastolux

INDOOR JUNGLES

Here we go with some inspiration for your own indoor jungle. First of all, who said plants have to be placed on the floor? 1.) Showcase your plants on different levels like the owners of Artilleriet in the latest issue of Residence magazine, styled by Lotta Agaton, pictures by Kristofer Johnsson. 2.) Simply arrange them in a different way, for example on an old table like in this picture of Artilleriet Studio. 3.) Or buy a couple of flower pots in contrasting colours, like Trang of amazed.

NACRE AND RESIN OBJECTS

Nacre, also known as mother of pearl, is the iridescent inner lay of shells and it also makes up the outer coating of pearls. South Korean design studio FICT (From Craft to Industry) explores the harmony of irregular pattern and different materials by casting crystal resin with nacre. The results are those beautiful coasters, tray sets and this table (which I first spotted at SightUnseen).

DEBBIE CARLOS POSTER PARTY

This weekend I finally(!) found the time to write about Debbie Carlos’ new website and lookbook, shot by Ola Onda. You might already know her for her black and white prints, now she’s coming up with new colorful images (Cactus is my favourite) and new colorful poster clips, which are perfect for adding a hint of color to black and white posters.

THE SLEEPER LOUNGEDRESSES

When I wrote about the “first walking sleepwear” by The Sleeper a couple of months ago I was completely smitten with their cool pyjamas... and now they wowed me again. I could totally live in the offshoulder(!) loungedresses – who said you can’t go out in your nightdress? Mama?

SCENTED CANDLES BY MAISON LA BOUGIE

It seems like summer is currently taking a break. But no worries, Maison La Bougie is here to bring back the scent of summer. The Paris based manufacture creates scented candles with such tantalizing names like La Mer (a reminiscence of saltwater, Monoi, sun and a hot umbrella) or La Piscine (a reminiscence of water from the pool, palm leaves and suntan oil). And all wrapped up in the most beautiful packaging!

MATIN STUDIO

Lace and stripes. I guess I would wear every single piece from this Matin loobook. The Sydney based label focusses on classic style, with natural fabrications. Via the lovely Miss French.
