Vuonon syvyyttä, nahkaa ja mustaa
Suunnittelupyynnön lähtökohtana oli se, että asukas koki kämpän ihan kivaksi, mutta jotain tarttis silti tehdä. Toiveissa oli tunnelmallinen ja lämminhenkinen sisustus olohuoneeseen. Seinät olivat valkoiset, sohva haluttiin vaihtaa uuteen, pyöreä ruokapöytä vei liikaa tilaa tiiviissä neliöissä. Koen, että värit ovat olennainen elementti tunnelman luomisessa. Halusin kääntää ajatusta niin, että vahva väri voi olla seinällä ja…

New furniture and colouring for your new home
The family was in the process of buying a new home, and were excited about their new choice, but needed some interior design tips. The family felt that their new home was a bit impersonal and colourless, too white. When they moved into this new one, they wanted more atmosphere and colour. Black, brown and green were mentioned as their favourite colours. Grey, oak and pink were also mentioned as nice colours for the interior. ...

The red thread is blue
A family of four wanted timelessness, unity, cosiness and greenery in their living room. They wanted a classic living room with a touch of funk. The home is otherwise decorated in the style of the 60s, so they also wanted the living room, which felt unfinished, to be designed with a 60s vibe, but not a direct time capsule to the past. Plants were liked, but their placement was a source of uncertainty. My view of the whole: the exterior of the building had been painted in dark blue as well as white, and...

Artek chair 68 -modification
An old Artek chair with a broken backrest, nail polish on the seat and gum on the bottom, rescued from the school's furniture disposal pile. The chair needed and deserved a refurbishment. Thanks to an acquaintance for spotting the chair! The material of the chair is birch, birch plywood and the seat is white laminate. The chair needed gluing, sanding and painting. I wanted to do a curious, metallic artwork painting on the chair. A reborn look. Contact me if you want this beauty or...

Collision course in the hallway
The functionality of the hallway is a surprisingly big benefactor in the home. If you feel like you have to dodge furniture or people, that's not good. Smooth movement and easy placement of coats and shoes are comforting to many. A client identified the problems with the hallway of her home in a gorgeous old factory building: 'The style I wanted was loft, something exciting, old and new, lots of colour, no pastiche, a mix of clean and bohemian....

Like a wall rose - excellent!
A wall rhino is usually a person who does not stand out much from the wall. This is a delicious idea in furniture design! So you make a piece of furniture in exactly the same shade as the wall. In this case, the piece of furniture just comes out of the wall as a shape, what a fun idea! With that idea in mind, I picked up an old bedside table from our waste recycling point. The table was lame and dirty, a yellowed, disgusting chest of drawers. Intact, however, and...

Yellowed chest of drawers
What do you think is bright yellow? The perception of colours is purely personal. If you ask a person to choose, say, a basic colour from a colour chart, you get a surprisingly wide range of answers. That someone could choose a shade so different from the one they would choose! We tested this at an interior design school and found we could get as many shades as there were respondents. And the answers were not from the same magazine, but everything between blue and red....

Grateful composition
White oval table top, beautiful metal legs to match and black chairs gathered around it to complement the style. I was quite happy with the restoration of the massive veneer table (link), the job was a lot of work, the end result was good, but the final positive "rivet" followed. The satisfaction of the work really only comes when you see your handiwork living in its real environment, in other people's homes! And that,...
