The home of...Yvonne Koné

Today's inspiring interior is the apartment of  Danish designer Yvonne Koné. I find it very interesting that we could describe her home with the same words used on Koné's web site to describe her work and design for leather accessories. 

"Yvonne Koné is inspired by raw, natural leather with an industrial non-color feel giving the collections a discrete look of understated poise and elegance. Also, the consistent use of contrasts in materials creates a dialogue between toughness and fragility in each design" 

Ok, it's yet another home interior in: white, black, grey and timber; modern and vintage/industrial...but it's worth it!

Gorgeous! Especially the living-room. Those made to measure book shelves, made by Københavns Møbelsnedkeri, provide a place to keep everything and give warmth and personality to the room.  And I just love the low sofa tables and the lamp stand in concrete and timber.

Daily Dishonesty

I recently started following a blog on Tumblr called Daily Dishonesty, and I thought I should share it with you today. Lauren Hom, a graphic designer and illustrator based in New York City, gives us those little, harmless, lies (or dishonesties) that we tend to tell ourselves, and others, on a daily basis...and mostly about food. 

I chose a few to show you, but you can follow the link for more.  It's a fun read for a lazy Sunday!

Ice Chandelier - Scandinavian Lighting

The Ice Chandelier was designed by Sofie Refer in 2007 and relaunched this year by &Tradition. 

This modular pendent, of mouth-blown glass, combines the tradition of the grand glass chandeliers and a  modern approach and expression. 

Scandinavian style in it's most elegant and sensual form, as can be attested on the wonderfully styled photos below.
