I know, this looks too good to be true, but come May, you'll all be able to get your hands on these AMAZING Scholten & Baijings x HAY glasses.

And yes, Scholten & Baijings are indeed the geniuses behind that tablewear collection I raved about a few months ago (here). You only have to check out their website to fall in love with every single thing they've ever designed. From tableware to cars to furniture, seriously, they can do it all. Oh and HAY, don't get me started on them. I mean seriously. They have it all. Cool furniture, cool bed linnens, cool desk accessories. You can't walk into a HAY shop without screaming 'I WANT IT ALL THANK YOU YES PLEASE' (I dare you).

Of course, Scholten & Baijings are no newbies when it comes to working with HAY, they've done countless of designs for them - and they work together SO well. This is what happens when two great teams join forces, it's called syngergy you guys.

Now feast your eyes on these... There's a carafe + water glasses that come with a blue tint, yellow tint or spot of gold on the bottom, a red wine glass with a stroke of pink, a white wine glass with a black grid on the side and lastly a champagne flute with a stripe of gold (what else).

FREUNDE VON FREUNDEN SPREADS ITS WINGS!

My favourite interior-peeking website, Freunde von Freunden, is expanding. Previously they only photographed inspiring people (and friends of friends as the title suggests) in Berlin, but now they're launching some international interviews as well- YAAY! Even more good news: the interviews are now written in English rather than German which will let you get to know the person behind the interior better - I know a little bit of German but it wasn't nearly enough to understand the interviews so this change makes me quite happy.

First up are London & Paris (for example Cynthia Lawrence-John & Joseph Dirand), but more is coming very soon.

New interviews in September will include interior designer Regine Safronoff and graphic designer Akroe from Paris; knitwear designer Sibling, product design studio Raw Edges and bookshop owner Conor Donlon from London; artist Antonio Santin, art collectors Christian and Karen Boros, graphic designers of haw-lin.com and fashion designer Hien Le from Berlin; designer Guto and photographer Fran Parente from Sao Paolo as well as Marc Atlan from LA.

So yes - high five to the entire Freunde von Freunden team!

In other news - yes, I am finally back from my holiday, which means posting will resume! I'll have a few pics ready from my Scandinavian road trip, give me some time and you'll get to see them soon (hopefully). Also: as you may/may not have noticed, you can now find my latest SVPPLY's in the sidebar so you can now all enjoy my online window-shopping without leaving this website, woooo! :)

FRIENDS OF FRIENDS PT.2

So I've featured Freunde Von Freunden on here before, but I couldn't help myself from posting some of their recent shoots. If you're not familiar with them yet, let me do a quick intro: Freunde Von Freunden (that's german for friends of friends) is a german collective that photographs (by Aline Liefeld) and interviews intersting & creative people around Berlin in their homes, studio's, etc. (they're going international soon so be sure to keep an eye on them).

We all love a peek in people's homes, especially when they're as amazing as these, right? If you want to read the accompanying interviews, you'll have to speak German though (or you can just resort to some google-translate-ing).

So, enjoy these, and as always: don't forget to check out the rest!

ANNORLUNDA

IKEA, everyones favourite affordable furniture store, has a new (very limited edition) collection coming out soon, called Annorlunda. 5 designers of IKEA's design department were sent off to India & Vietnam to brainstorm about 'limited editions' and this is what they came up with. I am absolutely in love with all the bright colours in these pieces. I love simple & clean interiors, but a bright chair or rug or... anything, can make a big difference.

The collection will only be available in a handful of stores (Belgium: Zaventem & Anderlecht!) starting May 2nd. I repeat, these are all very limited editions, so if you see something you like, don't wait it out! :)
