So when you think of Sweden you think of pine trees, snow and sauna’s! Well these saunas and the companies hottubs look so cute with that all the wood. We saw these at a home show in Goteborg late last year and really like them, they were a bit too heavy to carry out the […]

Not sure why I have this sudden urge to look at so much furniture design, maybe I just like sitting comfortably or maybe its the recent Milan show but it always astounds me how many people have just the normal sofa at home when there are so many good interesting products, scared maybe, too lazy […]

3D printing seems to be in more and more design and this latest idea from blablabLab from Barcelona proves that point. It allows you, or a group of you, to get a model made there and then, in about 15mins really, as souvenir’s. What happens is that you do your pose and they scan you, this […]

Don’t you hate it when you come across a quirky company with some very cool products but you can’t think of a catchy title to go along with your post? Thankfully their name is pretty cool as is so I don’t feel too bad and luckily you didn’t have to suffer some of the terrible […]

With all the junk mail going around and the use of clever advertising it is becoming more necessary to have anti-virus programmes on your computers and to do proper off computer backups, so we have currently 3 copies of data from the computers just to be extra safe.

I have looked at many fireplaces over the years in peoples homes, magazines, shows and hotels and the lovely flickering flame is always romantic and warming to my heart most seem to either be modern or old fashioned, but thankfully after6studio have designed a fireplace with some flare (and plenty of flame) which also have […]

I was out looking for some new bowls the other day and came across this set by Joseph Joseph and while doing a little research on it found out that not only was the design a winner of the reddot design award but also that it was design by Morph in London. The whole package […]
