Iittala Vitriini

I've been admiring the Vitriini cabinets by Iittala ever since they first came out. Now I got one as a birthday present, and it makes me so happy!

"Anu Penttinen has designed a true mix and match collection of glass, wood and aluminium pieces. Given the Finnish name “Vitriini” for glass display cabinets, exhibit your mood, personality or whatever else your heart desires. They are the perfect playthings to create a system that is your own."

Mjölk

A few favorites that I have found via the Mjölk shop. Check out their beautiful Kitka blog, too.

This first picture shows cutlery by Yuki Sakano. Each piece is handmade by Yuki from solid nickel silver, and then pleated with pure silver. You can keep the light color by polishing with a soft cloth, or let the silver oxidize and enjoy the tarnished silver.

The pictures below show the Krummi bird clothes hanger by Ingibjörg Hanna Bjarnadóttir. In Icelandic Krummi means raven, and it has much more positive connotations in Icelandic folklore than in other countries. Ravens are attracted to shiny objects, and the idea behind this hanger is to show your shiny things instead of hiding them away.

Photo walls

I'm planning on creating a photo wall for our new home, with b&w photos and black frames. I haven't yet decided which wall and what photos I'm going to use, but it would be nice to find enough pictures from my own archives; that way the wall could tell a story about our life. Below some inspiration!
