Industrial and Salvaged

This weekend I am off to a Masterclass which is part of Handmade Wellington 2012. This weekend- long programme is a creative and inspiring event, which combines many skills and handmade activities. A fellow designer and I are attending the 'Salvaged to Supreme - Industrial Art and Furniture' lecture where we'll see examples of salvaged goods turned into finely reconstructed furniture. Should be interesting.
Here is a Swedish apartment, which belongs to interior designer, Benedikte Ugland, that has a cool industrial vibe throughout.
It's a long weekend for us in New Zealand as it is Queen's Birthday Weekend - so enjoy!

Ett Hem Stockholm

Welcome to Ett Hem Stockholm ("a home" in Swedish), a 12 room hotel which opened their doors earlier this month. Based in a former private residence built in 1910, I think this is what a hotel should be - a comfortable home away from home, but 10 times better. Ett Hem Stockholm is a result of a very successful collaboration between its owner, Jeanette Mix, UK based designer, Ilse Crawford and Stockholm architect, Anders Landstrom. I love the stylish and comfortable interiors with its rich collection of furniture, antiques and design.

See more photos and an indepth article about Ett Hem in this article from Monocle here.

Stylish Interior Designer's Home

Tyler used Ikea kitchen cabinetry which she wrapped with custom made oak bench tops.

The dining table with a set of 50's Carl Jacob Jason chairs that Tyler found on ebay.

A Knoll sofa in the living area.

A Nelson Platfrom bench acts as the coffee table and Tablo side tables from Design House Stockholm.

I remember very well seeing this house when it was featured on an episode of Grand Designs a couple of years ago (do you watch this show? Isn't host Kevin McLeod great?) so when I spotted it in Dwell, it was great to be able to have a closer look. This house was designed by interior designer, Kathryn Tyler and she built her home around her vintage furniture collection that she had amassed previously over the years. Read more about it here.
