The Tongue chair by Arne Jacobsen x Howe

Designcompany and furniture manufacturer HOWE recently relaunched one of Arne Jacobsens classic chairs – The Tongue (Tungen). The Tongue chair is a classic Arne Jacobsen design, with it's immediately recognisable characteristics of the organic wave form in the seat. 

The Tongue chair was always one of Arne Jacobsens favorite chairs, but for much of it's life it has been missing in his design legacy and haven't been in production. Just until danish company HOWE in close cooperation with the grandson of Arne Jacobsen, Tobias Jacobsen, decided for it to have it's return. 

Now it's back, restored, and I must say that I'm totally into the minimalistic design of it! – just as I am with a lot Arne Jacobsen's great work. And the styling pictures are amazing too – There's only ONE problem, and that is, that I can't seem to choose which color combination is my favorite.

Lately

Some of my instagram updates from the last week. I will get back to you with some nice updates soon!

Yesterday I took the time to do some shopping and finally found a nice leather skirt, that I've been looking for for months. And a nice nailpolish from Chanel and the best Vanillapowder from Urtekram.

 I was so lucky to be invited on an Arne Jacobsen tour, driving around the city for hours and seeing some of his great work. The occasion was the release of one of his old design chairs – the Tongue – a very beautiful and forgotten design classic in the history of some of Arne Jacobsens designs, now restored and engineered by danish furniture company HOWE. I took a lot of pictures along the tour, and can't wait to share them with you – along with some great photos of the Tongue chair.  

Made som healthy raw, glutenfree and sugarfree cocoa/coconut balls, and yes, even without all the fun stuff in them they were still amazing! (If I must say so myself.)

Nomess Balsabox

One of the exhibitors on the DesignTrade today was Nomess – a Copenhagen-based company creating everyday design products for organizing the home. I've got a few of their products at home, including some of their first acryllic storage drawers, but ever since the first time I laid my eyes on their Balsabox organizer in light wood and with a pink color palette, I've been meaning to have it. Today, though, I saw a prototype of the same box, but in all black – and I was overexcited and now can't wait for it to arrive in the shops this coming fall. The more subtle and masculine look will be perfect for my new bedroom! – amazing! See more of their products HERE. 

 

DesignTrade Copenhagen 2013

Today I was invited to the opening of a new design and interior trade in Copenhagen – DesignTrade – and I was a really overwhelmed and impressed by all the great design Denmark has to offer!  Not that I didn't know, but it is always good to be reassured and I think the initiative to a new design trade serves Denmark – and Copenhagen – as a design-nation good.

 Some of the product catalogues and postcards I got 

 – with a lot of great new products and designs among!  

I walked my way through almost all of the stands and had an overview of the exhibitors and their products – I must say that the overall styling is on a very high level, and even though I naturally don't find everything to suit my own personal taste, the majority of the exhibitors are really worth paying a visit. I was introduced to some great new products and design-solutions, and among them also a few that made me really excited, and they will soon be shown on the blog – both from some of the more established and well-known companies as well as from new and up-coming designers. I took a lot of pictures and will show you some of my favorite news and discoverings in the following blogposts, so stay tuned!

If you're in Copenhagen you can still visit the trade until August 30 – learn more on the official DesignTrade website HERE.

Simple sophistication

I'm on the lookout for new chairs for the apartment – and came by this photo by talented photographer Line Klein – a very sophisticated stilleben on a very simple and nice chair with a clean and monotone colorscheme – I had to share.
