Broste Copenhagen is a popular Danish interior brand, whose collections cover home decor objects such as candles and lanterns, tableware, home textiles and other decorative items. Their new 2015 collection is fine combination of pastel colors and natural materials, which is their interpretation of the Scandinavian spring. It’s inspired by the life of a working artist and it gives the feeling of stepping into an artist’s workspace. They teamed up with illustrator and graphic designer Silke Bonde, who has created a collection of posters with handmade prints of watercolor. She found her inspiration in the bright evening of the Nordic summer and the natural, organic shapes.

This minimalist apartment for a family of seven is in the center of Copenhagen. The whole apartment is just 70 meters but it looks very spacious and there’s enough space for everyone. The color scheme is light grey and white to visually expand the space, and there are natural wood touches and black accents. I think that the large eat-in kitchen is the real heart of the apartment: due to smart storage and a functional kitchen island everyone can be accommodated. I love the beautiful stucco decor on the ceilings and the columns that add a refined twist. Though the color scheme is rather cold, warm-colored wood and rugs give the apartment a cozy feel.

Koichi Suzuno and Alicja Strzyzynska of Torafu Architects have designed a very original, functional and versatile piece of furniture: it’s a children’s seat that splits in half to reveal a doll house inside. The painted white beech plywood chair splits vertically and hinges open to reveal a small space on each side. The chair’s slanted arms become roof gables, while the divided hollow seat provides four ledges for placing tiny furniture. When split apart down the middle, the chair reveals the shape of a house with a red gable roof. Kids can play with their toys and stow them away with other small objects by shutting the chair closed once playtime is over. I’m sure that your kids will be happy and you’ll save a lot of space!

The MM01 by mob rethinks the way a sound system inhabits a space. Aesthetic and functional quality merge, culminating in an active speaker system with tube amplifiers. The active speakers system is a technology where each speaker has an amplifier, optimizing the operation of each transducer, increasing linearity, reducing distortion and losses and avoiding crossover networks. The equipment integrates Bluetooth tech, airplay, two mini plug, and two RCA inputs, making it possible to connect many devices, even a turntable. It’s so perfect for spinning records, in fact, that underneath its marble top is a layer of neoprene for complete sound cushioning!

Amchit Residence in Nahr el Mott, Lebanon by BLANKPAGE Architects is a fantastic example of a home where you can rest merging with nature around. The sprawling three-level oceanfront oasis is constructed of minimalist steel slabs enclosed by glass and wooden decking. The soothing, minimalist palette seen on the home’s exterior is influenced by the natural hues of sand and sea. Soft, neutral-hued furniture and textiles highlight the wood paneled ceilings and steel beams. I’m excited about the master bedroom with the serene oceanfront views. Solid panes of glass provide unobstructed panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and a one can enjoy the view and a cup of coffee outdoors on the private wrap-around balcony. So stunning!
