New Elizabeth Lenny, Rina Ono and furniture in the showroom

Hase floor lamp

We had a really nice conversation over the weekend about living with the furniture and lighting we sell through the shop. The conversation revolved around the lamp above, pictured here in our living room. We offered to pass along a photo so they could see it in our own life and this kind of inspired us to include some images of our home in this newsletter.

We practice what we preach and really get to see how things hold up in a space shared by two children, two dogs and a cat. How a light like the one above doesn’t just give you a reading light, it can add some ambient light to an alcove or how this nettle rug by StudioIlse can add depth and texture on a large scale without feeling overwhelming.

Little Petra Sofa by Vigo Boesen, 1930s

We don’t generally get a chance to introduce new things into our living room, but the exception is the Little Petra love seat with ottoman in this honey sheepskin. Juli and I have both sat on this to watch a movie, and it’s just large enough for us to share with one of our dogs.

Chieftain Chair by Finn Juhl, 1949

We’re back to the showroom with one of the masterpieces of Danish design:

The Chieftain chair by Finn Juhl which originally debuted in 1949.
Paired with this chair is the Lisa Floor Lamp in brass and cognac leather
by Lisa Johansson-Pape.

108 dining chair by Finn Juhl, 1946

Just an arms length away in the same cognac leather we have the 108 chair also by Finn Juhl.

In the background is the Dorica floor lamp from Santa & Cole.

We did a little reshuffling here in the back of the showroom. I like how these Kigo tables come together to make a more casual coffee table.

The Wulff chair
A rediscovered 1930s Danish armchair

A chair that has been getting quite a bit of love recently is the Wulff chair in this textured Moss upholstery and rich walnut frame. The chair was produced in a traditional Danish workshop in the first half of the 20th century by Cabinetmaker Jørgen Wolff. It had since been a relatively unkown design until being reissued by &Tradition.

Next to it is a leather wrapped side table called Cabaret.

New! Mizu Mizu dishes

Also new to the store are these square dishes by Rina Ono.  You’ll recognize her other pieces, like the octagonal mustard dish and glossy red round bowl from her Tsudoi series.

The pair of dishes above look like the most delicious butterscotch candies you’ve ever seen.

Tsudoi dishes back in stock

Also by Rina Ono is this long and deep dish in a soft blue-white glaze. An ideal size for serving.

These ceramics are all made in Gifu prefecture using a wax mold technique and fired with various glazes. Although the shapes and colours are all different they blend together cohesively.

We just learned that Rina Ono studied both in Japan at the Tohoku University of Art and Design in Yamagata, but also at Konstfack University in Stockholm Sweden!

No wonder we love her work so much.
