COOL STUFF | HK LIVING 2014

HKLIVING-via-Stylejuicer07

Happy Thursday peeps! How are you? My week has just gone crazy. I’m working on a catalogue for a client with print deadlines approaching fast and still soooo much to do. Think I’ll be working all weekend. The life of a designer, eh!? Nevertheless, the sunny weather and warmer temperatures are giving me a spring in my step and when I came across HK Living I just knew I had to share their products with you. The photography is quite masculine which I really don’t mind as there’s also a great hidden sense of humour! Bold, tough and cool I feel the collection is a bit like a big burly guy who’s a total softie on the inside. I should know, I’ve dated a few of them in my time.

HK Living was founded in the Netherlands in 2009 and their Dutch aesthetic shows through in the purity and originality of the items they design and develop. The main focus for their current collection was the addition of trendy colours as well as giving a more contemporary look.

They are cool and tough items inspired by the past and given an eclectic twist.

I love the shabby chic metal furniture and the teak bar stools with neon ‘feet’ – a neat little twist to set them apart from the mainstream.

More Dutch design coming up next week. Stay tuned!

COOL STUFF | ODE TO THINGS

Cool-Stuff-Ode-To-Things-via-Stylejuicer02

Ode To Things popped into my world via my Pinterest feed. I was intrigued by the logo and the minute I lay eyes on their products I was hooked. This fabulous online microstore who are based in New England must have heard my mantra of simple, modern design and ordered everything off my secret wish list. How did they get into my head!?

I simply love their products! It’s all quite minimalist and a bit Japanese but with a European twist. A great mixture of simple but beautifully made and ultimately useful ‘things’. Objects that add style, utility and fun to our lives and their concise collection of everyday items brings together form, function and elegance.

I adore how enthusiastic they are about their products:

“These products are designed passionately and manufactured with high precision and craftsmanship. Objects to adore, admire and cherish everyday. Touch them. Feel them. Love, use and share them. Rave about them. That’s what we do.”

Well, I guess I’ve just done that!

RICE DENMARK – COLOUR POPS FOR THE HOME

2 October 2013

For those of you who know me it might come as a bit of a shock to see me promoting colour in the home. You know that I like my home to be kept in calm, neutral colours until the kids wake up and Lego, Brio and evil plastic battery-operated toys take over and destroy my carefully arranged minimalist space.

‘Get a playroom’ I hear you say but until next week when I win the lottery (notice, ‘when’ not ‘if’) I bravely put up with the eyesore and take pride in the fact that my kids are having a whale of a time.

Now, colourful and beautifully designed objects are of course a totally different kettle of fish and I love how they give me a bit of a boost during the long dark months. Like most people colour equals energy and happiness for me. Which leads me nicely to RICE Denmark, a home wares and accessories company who are known for their colourful melamine, handmade baskets/storage and hand glazed Italian tableware. RICE are eager to point out that Danish design is not all about cool and calm interiors. RICE style is about fun, colour, pattern and the enjoyment of informal living.

Their designs have a vintage feel to them and are inspired by ‘the good old days’. A zingier palette than our own British Cath Kidstone and certainly quirkier considering eg. the tassel detailing on the tea towels and plates featuring Victorian bird prints. I can’t help but being drawn to their designs and can see them working across a variety of homes, be it a contemporary apartment, a country retreat or a family home.

RICE Founder & Creative director, Charlotte, has made it her mission to bring humor, more colours and happiness to everyday life.

Colours are essential to me – I truly believe in the power of colours and my hope with Happy Home is to motivate you into making bold color choices… Just paint a wall – play with colors and live colorful lives.

It’s going to be a colourful week!
