One of the hottest light brands right now has to be
Tom Dixon. And looking at this Swedish apartment it's not hard to see why. The space is pared back and simply decorated save for the fabulous Beat Light
Tall,
Fat and
Wide over the dining table and the
Copper Shade pendants in the sitting room. I also spy a Tom Dixon
Etch Candle holder on the table too (I have one of these in on
my coffee table and they let off such a warm glow). Another lovely touch to this space is all the fresh summer flowers which have been organised into a mix of different vases and placed on a light grey marble slat. Great table inspiration for anyone celebrating midsummer tomorrow, don't you think?!
I do love the Beat Lights I have to say! I wonder if there is anywhere in my home I could put them....hmmm. I've also got my eye on the
London Candle to remind me of home!
I also spy a mid-century credenza. There's a great post about credenza's over at one of my favourite blogs
SF Girl By Bay. You can often find one up for auction
here.
Tomorrow it's Midsummer's Eve and in Sweden that calls for a big celebration. My family and I will be heading to my brother-in-laws summer cottage (by the way, how idyllic was the summer cottage in
yesterday's post?!) where we'll pick wild flowers for my little girls to wear in their hair and then they'll dance all afternoon around a maypole. Afterwards we'll tuck into a late traditional lunch of pickled herrings, locally produced new potatoes, boiled eggs and Västerbotten pie washed down with schnapps and beer. Followed by lots and lots of strawberries.....and cream. Yum!
Will you be celebrating Midsummer's Eve?
