Kontor Kontur

Kontur Kontar are a design collective based in Gothenburg. I really like the placement of simple objects to create an interesting assemblage.

thinking, watching and hoping ...

Choccywoccydoodah

I am only a few days into my Lent resolution to give up chocolate and I am having serious withdrawal symptoms!!  To cheer myself up (or is it torture?) I have been drooling over the Choccywoccydoodah website ... which is absolutely wonderful!  They are a Brighton based artisan chocolate company creating the most wonderful chocolate concoctions i have seen.  You can't believe that all the work is made out of chocolate ... it truly is amazing.  They are shortly having their own TV show on the GoodFood Channel (which I unfortunately don't get) but watch the advert below!

La Versha Chair

As soon as I saw these chairs on the Anthropologie website they made me want them.  They are incredibly girly and fun!

Letterpress Inspiration

Tokketok is a letterpress and design studio founded by Joke Vande Gaer. Joke is a Belgian designer based in Portland, Oregon. Her work looks deceptively simple but is actually very considered, and i find it very inspiring.

Something for the weekend ... just relax and enjoy

Elsa Mora

Elsa Mora is a American mixed media artist.  Her main website is a delight ... but it has links to other blogs including ones on papercutting and miniature books.  The paper ring shown above is so intricate and clever I can't begin to imagine how she made it.  Being a lover of handmade books i also love her book blog and was spoilt for choice over which ones to choose.  Elsa also has a blog about her own personal dress style .. and her innate elegance and sense of style and fun makes me feel very jealous!  She is a fascinating and talented artist who seems to be able to imbue her work with her own joie de vivre.
