When I was a child we often had our vacations in Denmark, visiting family and friends. And one of the highlights for me was always family dinners, where we kids could have the funkiest, coolest soft drinks. These soft drinks came in all imaginable colours and flavours was extremely exotic to me, we didn’t have those in Norway! Now Denmark has gotten an organic alternative as well; Organa is made from only natural ingredients and sparkling water. I love the retro design by Rosenstand & co and I realise I have to take a trip to Denmark quite soon..

This day started of kind of bad, but quickly turned around to something good when I saw the photos of Andrea Galvani. This Italian photographer has taken some really nice and surreal photos of animals and humans that just simply make me smile. Take a closer look by pressing more…

It is still freezing here in Norway; and I am seriously getting tired of all the snow. Wishing and dreaming of warmth and summer, I discovered this “hot design” from the italian company Hellos. They have taken the traditional radiator and transformed it into many different, and very creative, versions. Normally the radiator is hidden away behind a couch, under the window or behind curtains, but now its time to let the radiator get its glory, and not only have a warming function but a decorative one as well. Press more to see the amazing designs.

Writing this I am actually typing with one hand and having a cup of tea and honey in the other… Nothing is as good as a teaspoon of honey to prevent a sore throat and at the same time I just really think that the liquid texture and the deep golden colour of the honey is simply gorgeous. Heide Museum of Modern Art produces and sells its own honey, and Pidgeon have made this simple and lovely packaging, which makes the honey look even more delicious! (I almost feel better just by looking at it)

I guess we all have had those genius and funny ideas on projects we think would be great. Unfortunately many of them don’t come to life, but lucky some of them do! Last night it was time for another Pehca Kucha in Oslo, and first of to present was Jesper Larsson from Next Century Modern. He had the genius idea of transforming his apartment into, Creators Inn, a short-term accommodation for other creative during their stay in Gothenburg.

It started out with some friends crashing on the couch, and ended up with an apartment transformed into a hotel room. Partnering with different local independent organizers Creators Inn by Elvine has made a complete holiday-experience for their visitors. They even designed products like shampoos, bathrobes and slippers for our visiting guests to steal…
