Norway is not exactly one of the biggest or most important countries in the world, but right now Oslo seems to be in the spotlight. Tomorrow Barack Obama will turn Oslo upside down and in May its time for Eurovision song contest. 4th of December the logo and theme for what claims to be Europe’s favourite TV show, was revealed and although I am not a big fan of Eurovision. I still believe they could have done something more exiting than this. It immediately makes me think of soap bubbles, bubble gum and 14 year old girls…. What do you think about the design made by Gosu Design, Handverk og Snøhetta? (more…)

It is Monday morning and I am exhausted after working all weekend. But starting the day with this nice video from A lull definitely helps getting back on track and ready for a new week of design. The design is made by Nigel Evan Dennis who has a really nice style —exploring simple shapes and transforming them into elegant design pieces. It makes me think of wood toys I had when I was a child and it left me with a good and warm feeling!

So today has been the first day of designers Christmas marked and here is a quick update.  I’ve been lucky enough to stand next to two really talented friends of mine; Anja Niemi and Kati (Ola og Kari). See more pictures from our stands after the jump and if you are in Oslo make sure to stop by at DogA tomorrow!!

When people ask me what I want for Christmas I never remember anything… but writing a blog like this should be a good enough tip on what to get me, almost everything I write about is stuff I really want but cant afford. One on the things topping my wish list right now is a pair of these really nice Tracks headphones from Aiaiai. I love the design inspired form the function and design of the old iconic walkman headphones, but with a modern and funky touch of colour. I also adore the earplugs Y-model with swirl, as I always get irritated cause the wire is either to long or to short. The swirl is definitely on of the best trends from the 90s and I am so happy see its coming back!

I know its been a little quiet here lately and the reason for that is that I am currently working my a** off to get everything done before Designernes eget julemarked (Designers own Christmas marked). It’s not all done yet but some of my stuff you can see here, and the rest I will show you together with pictures from the marked after the weekend. So if you happen to be in Oslo this weekend, be sure to stop by (to buy something, just say hey or maybe have a gingerbread-cake?) at DogA Saturday or Sunday. (more…)
