Latva is a coat rack designed by Finnish Mikko Laakkonen. You can either leave your belongings on its branches or use it as a space divider; when left empty it looks like a sculpture. Latva is available in black, white and green.

String system
I've been admiring the String shelf for a while now... The shelf was designed by Nils Strinning in 1949 for the Bonnier bookshelf competition. Bonnier wanted a shelf that would be cheap, simple to transport and easy to assemble and hang. Strinning had been thinking of just such a shelf, and the competition became a reason to put thought into action. Naturally the String shelf won first price. It became quickly popular all over Europe, and can nowadays be considered a real Scandinavian design classic.

A Finnish home
This is the home of a small family living in Finland. It is filled with classics such as Artek and Tapiovaara, most of which have been found on flea markets. The big tree wallpaper in the bedroom is designed by Johannes Nieminen. It's so cool!

A bohemian home
In this beautiful home lives Lotte Jensen, Mathieu Carlier, their daughter Chloé and the cat Bailey. The apartment is 110 square meters, and it is located in Østerbro, Copenhagen. Lotte likes to surprise with her decorating, so she has mixed a lot of different styles and materials. The result looks great!

FAVN by Jaime Hayón for Fritz Hansen
Jaime Hayón has created a new sofa for Fritz Hansen, called FAVN. The name means 'embrace' in Danish. "I wanted the sofa to be based on a shell. A shell being hard on the outside, soft and welcoming on the inside", Hayón says. "I wanted to create a form that embraces you, something really organic - that's why we named it FAVN."
FAVN will be launched at Republic of Fritz Hansen's showroom in Milan during Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2011. The sofa will be available for purchase in September 2011.
