Weekend warmup, 30th of October

by Robert 30. October 2009 13:31

Today's weekend warmup is dedicated to our neighbours down south- Denmark... Medina and her song "Kun for mig" has been played 24/7 this summer in Denmark and is now climbing the charts with her english version "you and me". During Copenhagen fashion week I had the opportunity to see her perform during one of the most spectacular fashion shows I've been to, designer Stine Goya's. Medina was then performing 5 meters up in the air on a diving-board, see the clip here.





Right now from Stockholm...

This is our store at Plattan, Stockholm as we speak... Their event have just started, Both singer/songwriter Elin Gustavsson and designer Isabella Idberg are there, and DJ Sane will be playing later ... So if your nearby, make sure to drop by, our lovely crew will take good care of you! It's going to be a blast and it's a shame I can't be there!





Tea, anyone for tea?

A totally organic and fair-trade labelled tea where the revenue is invested in social assignments... An utopia? Nope, that's LemonAid and ChariTea, soon launched all over Europe by the German company Lemonaid beverages GmbH.





Megalo, mega what?

Ateljé Lyktan is a well known Swedish lightning company... Designer Olle Lundberg has now designed the lamp Megalo, available both as a pendant and floor lamp. So far so good... the problem is that this floorlamp have given me major cravings! I want it, and I want it now! Buy it then might be your thought... Can't afford it is my answer! 7700 SEK, around 750€, and it's yours.





Today at the designdepartment...

Just another day in paradise:

"The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover is yourself."

"Creativity often consists of merely turning up what is already there. Did you know that right and left shoes where thought up only a little more than a century ago?"





Handle with care...

When you have bought a new pair of shoes (shoes = Vagabond) it is really important that you handle them with care and give them love. The most love you can give them, or maybe it's just love for your ego, is this luxury shoe care kit from legendary Paul Smith. For the tiny amount of 549$ a beautiful wooden box with "all you can think of for your shoes in way of creams and brushes kit" will be yours. Not really a bargain, but at least it looks good.





Spin city

A different view each morning is now more than just a dream. The London based design firm Studio RHE have unveiled their plans of a rotating hotel which will be built on the island of Solta in Croatia. The rotating section will be three storeye high and each room will rotate 1.3 times a day. The hotel is planned to be ready in 2012, so begin to save your money for a trip to Croatia.
