The John's Phone

I love this - a phone that's just a phone. No texts, emails, cameras ...... I saw the John's Phone on the Springwise newsletter. Great design but I'm not so sure about the colour choice.....  

White Floors

I've been looking into white floors, for a new interiors project that I'm working on, and came across these pictures of Tine Kjeldsen's house.  I first saw these last year in Elle Decoration but I still love them.

Tine has a wonderful website for her interior design business called tinekhome, it is full of beautiful objects and images....

  I'm inspired!

NOMA - Time and Place in Nordic Cuisine

I was really lucky to receive the NOMA cookbook for Christmas - stunning, beautiful and inspirational....

This book by Rene Redzepi the chef at Copenhagen restaurant, Noma and photographer Ditte Isager, goes beyond food to culture, essence and philosophy. 

The book is published by Phaidon - NOMA, Time and Place in Nordic Cuisine by Rene Redzepi.

Happy Christmas

Capturing Colour Exhibition

 

I visited a fascinating exhibition yesterday - Capturing Colour at the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery. The exhibition explores the development of colour in film, from magic lanterns, early colour photography, through to Kinemacolor, Kodachrome and Technicolor. What's amazing is how much has developed in the last 100 years - right up to digital cameras and photographs and videos on mobile phones. It's great to see a younger David Dimbleby, then Controller of BBC2, introducing the first colour TV programmes.

 

Maria Rivans

I've mentioned the work of Maria Rivans before, I love the detail and the mixing up of images. So it's great that some of her work is now available as greetings cards from the card company Pearl and Black   

De La Warr Pavilion

I visited the De La Warr Pavilion last weekend. Stunning in the autumn sunshine! Anyway there's a great history here. If you're in Bexhill do visit.
