my dream desk



: : this is one of the most beautiful desks I've ever seen! from the norweigan design firm .norway says. who created the mica MP3 player which was all over design magazines this past year. these guys have put Norway on the design map. their website is well worth a visit.

...and I'm going to start putting away money right now for my dream desk! available at nova 68 for $ 2,250.

flamboyant Rococo at .the conran shop.

: : the other day I came across some beautiful desks at .the conran shop. Although I've always known of Sir Terence Conran, his work as a designer and his furniture chain Habitat [now owned by IKEA]. I wasn't aware that there was a "conran shop", and that it is available online in the US. I always think it's so hard to find modern, well designed yet unique furniture pieces in the US, I do wish these were a bit more affordable though.... I was still happy to discover .the conran shop. because I like almost all of their pieces !! And of course, this flamboyant Rococo style dresser stole my heart!

and for my two friends, .louise. and .maiya. who just became homeowners....maybe .the conran shop. is something for you to check out?

two colored aalto


: : you can find these beautiful two color .aalto. vases in .iittala's. 2007's .alvar aalto. collection. available through scandinavian details. I just found this site a few days ago and was so thrilled, they have all of my favorite products!!
