Shuffle Table

The Shuffle Table by the Norwegian designer Mia Hamborg for &Tradition gives new life to the old Nordic craft tradition of turning wood by adding the colour and playful forms from old painted wooden toys. The user can decide the form, colours and height of the table. The Shuffle table is intended as a flexible piece of furniture that can serve many uses in the home. The building blocks can be combined to place the table top at different heights, making it user friendly for all ages. The table is made from from lacquered solid wood.

This time of year the sun in Sweden is up nearly all day. These photos were taken just before sunset at 9.30 pm.

The dress

Ever since the engagement last Spring, Swedish media have been speculating on who would be designing Crown Princes Victoria's wedding dress, an international couture house or a Swedish designer. The choice fell upon Swedish Per Engsheden who created a modern, minimalistic dream in pearl white silk duchesse. The bridal bouquet was composed mainly of Swedish summer flowers. The veil is the same as Queen Silvia wore for her wedding to the Swedish King in 1976 and was created for Sofia of Nassau when she married Prince Oscar (II) in 1858. The crown was a gift from emperor Napoleon to his wife Josephine in 1809 and was brought to Sweden by her niece Josefina when she married Prince Oscar (I) in 1823. It is composed by gold, pearls and camés. Images: Scanpix.

Spring flowers at home!

I've spent Easter holidays with my family on the island of Gotland on the Swedish east coast. Spring is finally here - amazing!

This place looks like heaven to me. I have no idea where the picture was taken or where I've found it. But I know this is exactly where I would like to be right now!

In the details

Dries Van Noten uses ethnic influences for the Summer 2010 collection. What is most amazing about it is not the actual clothes but the pearl necklaces with semi-precious stones. Photos Style.com
