Matsalen and Matbaren by Ilse Crawford

Designer Ilse Crawford has completed the interiors for two new restaurants at Grand Hotel Stockholm. The restaurants are Matsalen - a dining room - and Matbaren - a food bar and are run by Mathias Dahlgren. Matbaren is made in robust materials, such as wood panelling, tile and zinc. There are tables in natural wood, and Swedish pieces from the 1700s. There is a mix of Swedish, Scandinavian and global pieces, such as Pyra chairs by Mårten Cyren, lights by Jorn Utzon, and chairs by Vico Magistretti. The food bar and kitchen are a part of the room.

In Matsalen the atmosphere is more elegant and intimate. The door is a discreet entrance off the bar. There are Chesterfield sofas in velvet and details in golden metals.
The lighting is a mix of Swedish classics and chandeliers by Carlo Scarpa. In a nod to the history of the Grand Hotel, Josef Frank chairs have been rescued from around the hotel and revitalised in yellow leather. The tables were designed by Studioilse.

Architecture debut prize

The Swedish magazine Arkitektur gave their debut prize 2007 to Petra Gipp and Katarina Lundeberg (Strata Arkitektur) for their forester lodge in the nature reserve Grimeton outside of Varberg. I think it’s so beautiful, simple and elegant. The house really takes charge of the beautiful surroundings both from the outside and inside.

Small apartment

This apartment is only 30 sqm, but very organized and beautiful decorated by a traditional Swedish minimalism. Lots of white, storage space everywhere and simple lines makes full use of the limited space without seeming cramped.

Nienke Sybrandy's ASCII curtains

by: emmas designblog

A dutch designer named Nienke Sybrandy's made these fantastic tree patterned curtains.

Sure, tree silhouettes is nothing new, but this one is different. Look closer, and you will see that it is made up of this totally nerdy ASCII art! (That is short for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, and means the picture is made of numbers and letters, a method that was commonly used before computers could show real graphics.)
