Last Christmas I bought two of these bowls here.
You can have a peek.
The craftmanship is really incredible!

I like several products of Iittala.

The clear glass vitriinis, the Essence glasses of Alfredo Häberli and the matt frosted Kivi lights.

Lap shelving

Lap shelving by Marina Bautier

I was thinking of some floating shelves in my working space for my books.

But the shelves I fancy are really expensive and difficult to take with us when we might move someday.

And this freestanding shelving system is so beautiful that it might change my idea about these floatig shelves.

I mentioned Marina Bautiers portemanteau earlier: skon-design post

Portemanteau

This solid oak portemanteau (coat rack) has been designed by Marina Bautier in 2006.

I love the simple shape and the fact the hooks don't cover the whole length.

Your mail can be slid behind your jackets and scarves.

You can order the portemanteau online.

Look at the kenderfrau blog for my portemanteau.

I think it looks beautiful in our house.
