T O O G O O D

When I was in London I had the opportunity to visit the amazing Studio Toogood and just to experience THE Toogood headquarters. The thing that hit me first there was that the Studio Toogood looked exactly like the design Toogood that you only get to see through pictures! 

I was so enthusiastic about this visit and it exceeded all my high expectations. The entire Toogood studio was bubbling of creativity and relaxed sense of togetherness. Though the label Toogood is so hyped in the design sphere, their autonomous and at the same time collective way of working impressed me. They created their own Toogood world where there is a group of genuinely nice and cool people behind it all. Thank you Studio Toogood, Faye and Erica for having me there, I really enjoyed every minute to be with you and shooting these photos!

INTERIOR ______________________ something new

There´s always happening something new or just something with my interior. And I just noticed that I haven´t posted a picture about our new brass lamp in the living room. As usually we are doing and testing our prototypes ourselves first in our home. So,so far this is only a prototype. I am going to London next week just to catch up some new inspiration and hopefully visit some design studios. So if you have good advices on what I should not miss while I´m there I´m more than happy to hear about it, just send me an email. annaleena@annaleena.se Thanks in advance!

VEILED LADY ___________by Damien Gernay

I just stumbled over this raw minimalist lamp designed by Belgium based designer Damien Gernay. The lamp collection that includes a floor light, table lights and chandelier is inspired by a mushroom called veiled lady. But the designer describes the lamp design more like an organic anarchy. And what makes it more organic is that each piece is sculpted by hand.

INTERIOR ______________ new home

Here comes more pictures from our new home. The base is still the same that we used in our old house bright and white. But I am tempted to add some color that will look great against the white, show you what I mean later, now have a nice weekend everyone!

LIFE ______________ bianco cordo

I love using various natural elements in the interior such as wood and natur stone. These materials has the ability to soften minimalist decor and make it look luxury! My longtime stone favorite has been marble but I like granite now even more. At this time of writing we are renovating the bathroom in the house we live in. The budjet the for renovation was small so I was really lucky when I found light granite /Bianco Cordo/ from the tile shop for a affordable price. The size of the granite is 61x30 cm and for the walls we will use white glossy floor tiles size 20x40.

ps. I´m making small changes for my blog´s layout in the coming weeks so thanks in advance for your patience during this time.

INTERIOR ______________ temporary home

Here comes a sneak peek from our new home. The white book shelves that we did before the move are hanging now in our new livingroom.  Moving takes time and It has taken a lot of time to organize our move from a large house to a smaller, from a small town in the west coast to a bigger city Stockholm in the east coast! But the most positive thing with our move was that we cleared our home from all unnecessary things, I´m very happy for that! Although we will stay in this temporary white home for a short period before our own house is ready (that we will start to build hopefully this year) we really enjoy living here!

MINIMALISM ______ diagonal shelf

We are moving this weekend and you can imagine how busy I am right now. But I wanted to take the time and post these pictures on a shelf we did before christmas to our new home. They remind the stunning shelfs Victor Vasilev has designed. 

From a particular angle, this construction looks nothing like a bookshelf, but rather a minimalistic art installation. As the shelves are constructed diagonally, you can see the things from one side only. This hidden/art interior design is just the kind of interior that I love right now. 

INTERIOR _______ old and new home

I flipped today through my photos that I´ve taken during 2013 and I found these pics from our house. December has been a crazy month and it feels that I´m living right now between two homes or two houses, among all christmas decorations and moving boxes. We´re moving after the new year to Stockholm where we have planned to build a new house. As we made the most ourselves in our this house for 8 years ago, the staircase, kitchen, round firewood storage (my husband is a ambitions builder:) we will build the new house ourselves too. We have started to sketch up the new house and we have found a nice plot to build on. So the next step now is to find a great architect in Stockholm who can draw up our house, can´t wait when the process starts to take off!

INTERIOR _____________ white retreat

Love this white minimalist 36 square appartment that is furnished with a few carefully selected objects; contemporary artworks, some books, and the owners record. And how the lack of views is compensated by silence and light

DEKO __________ housing fair maja

It's always exciting to see where my clothing rails ends up, like here in a really fabulous laundry room in Finland! These pictures are from the Housing Fair Finland 2013, where the Finnish Deko magazine participated this year with their own housing-fair home called Maja. To see more pictures go to Scandinavian deko. The interior was designed by the residents themselves, with the help of Dekos editor-in-chief Ulla Koskinen.
