Workspace envy: Studio Slow

Gooood morning! I'm flying back to Sweden today after an incredible few days on set in Upstate New York. I'm so happy with the results (you can catch a glimpse of it here). All will be revealed soon - I hope you like the space as much as Emily and I do!). Tomorrow I'll be back in the office again, but I've been thinking perhaps it's time to get a studio in town - what do you say? I'm kind of thinking something like this incredible work space of Slow Studio in The Netherlands (hey, a girl can dream right?!). We've seen this space before, but being designers extraordinaire that they are, it's constantly evolving. It's where the talented Studio Slow team work to develop interior design, styling and graphic design concepts - and turn visions into reality with a strong sense of sustainability - love that! Let's take a little peek....

Interior design / work space: Studio Slow. 

Could you imagine working here? It certainly gives 'open-plan office' a whole new name!

How I'd get the look in my new studio (stil dreaming....): Z1 pendant light (it's no secret that I loooove this light - as you can see from this and this post of my home!), yards of grey linen (beautiful!), lampe gras wall sconce, old dutch teapot, Eames lounge chair and ottoman, Lisabo side table.

My workspace envy also includes the creative space of Katrin Bååth, Avenue Design Studio's converted loft and Studio Hear Hear. Don't get me wrong, I love my little home office, but it would be fun to have somewhere fabulous to go each day and be able to chat to other creatives! Don't you agree? Any tips Malmö friends?!

How does your workspace look? Do share below!

Have a lovely day!

PS Thank you so much Valentina for including both Modern Pastoral and The Scandinavian Home
in your list of 'the best interior design books you can't live without' - such an honour to be among such good company!

A beautiful Gothenburg space in white and brown

Is there an exact piece of furniture you've been hunting down for years but never quite found?! I can't tell you how long I've been looking for a beautiful farmhouse table. You know the one. Rustic, beautiful grains. The type of table where every nick and scratch tells a story. Admittedly the table in my dining area does have my daughter's names etched on it in biro, but this doesn't really count, does it?! What I'd love is a table top like the one in this lovely Stockholm apartment (could it be a re-purposed door?). Actually, could I'd take the entire apartment to go with it?! I mean, isn't it beautiful? The large, spacious rooms, double doors, traditional masonry oven, all that light! And then they've gone and decorated it in white, muted browns and just a hint of black and tarnished brass. Could you imagine living here?

Sooo lovely, don't you think?

Get the look: dining area - Bentwood chairs, traditional brass candlesticks (or source vintage ones here), this abstract artwork is similar as is this chandelier, pick up a brass bar cart like this one here. sitting room - this rug is similar. children's bedroom - this is a great place to pick up vintage school desks. bedroom  Ikea floor lamp, white linen bedset.

It's the final day of filming here in the Hudson Valley - three long, but amazing days. I can't wait to show you the project!  I'll be sad to leave tomorrow morning but so looking forward to seeing the man an my girls!

Have a lovely day!
