Boys and Girls









I must admit I noticed Kate Spade a little more only after being delighted at the things at Jack Spade. It's funny how my inner girlishness takes second place but I think really it's my architectural training that draws me instinctively to the appeal of unadorned natural materials compared to the more decorative aspects of womens's products...but with such cute products from the former, I'm starting to like both types equally well!

Merrimekko!

In Tokyo in 2008 I was delighted to stumble upon a Marimekko store and lingered a little longer than I should have to admire the selection of fabrics and I bought the 'Pakkanen' print and cups by Maija Louekari as a treat for myself.

Insitu

Insitu is an Australian furniture company with the hospitality and commercial sector as its target clients. They also feature a selection of nice items for the home from international as well as several Australian designers. I've selected some items to feature below that called out to my soul:

Hussl 'Forum' Chair by Design Arge 2 + Plank 'Monza' Chair by Konstantin Grcic: Stackable chairs can be boring when they look so...stackable. These timber chairs provide a more playful option and look so pretty even when they're stacked.





Alma Design 'Armacord' Lounge Chair by Nicola Cacco: The simple curves of the steel frame and wooden shell with the slim upholstery creates a contemporary feel for any living room without trying too hard.




Casamania 'Lea2' Chair-bed by C.S.C.: The husband and I have been looking around for a sofa/chair-bed for the longest time. This would be so perfect in our guest room. I love how the chair is held together with the elastic straps and chromed hooks that boldly expresses its other usage.




Casamania 'Railo' Magazine holder/ waste bin by Mikko Laakkonen: Made from three pieces of varnished metal, these come in mono or multi-colour. If it were me, I'd put a potted plant in it. I first saw this in the June 2010 issue of Inside Out Magazine - one of my resources for inspiring design.
