Bakkabrim

On Thursday we had a day off from shooting houses and went for a short excursion around Iceland, also known as "the golden circle". On our first stop, in the small village of Eyrabakki (app.60 km outside Reykjavik), we found this cute, little organic café. Looking more like a shed than like a café and being in- what I would call- the middle of nowhere- the café surprised us with nice smelling organic coffée and home made raw blueberry pie served with a delicious youghurt and vanilla bean sauce on the side. Yummie!

Sissa´s house

Our first shoot in Iceland was the home of Sigridur (Sissa) Olafsdottir, an Icelandic photographer. In addition to making wonderful artwork (she is having an exhibition soon), she is one of the owners of Ljosmyndaskolinn, a private photography school located in Reykjavik.

Some of the art she is working on now are these beautiful images, all presented in vintage boxes.

I want them all!

Since the homes I shoot in Iceland are all specs (not knowing if anybody will buy), I don´t know where and when it will be showing. Hopefully someone will like them, and I´ll let you know if someone do ;-)

All I want for Christmas...

Not too long ago I was asked by the magazine Rom 123/Klikk.no what I thought was a design classic that would never go out of date. My answer was easy; Paolo Rizzatto´s lamp 265 designed for Flos in 1973.

Being a swingarm lamp addict this is one of my absolute favourites! It goes well with all kinds of interiors, being in a workplace, a modern minimalistic home, a more industrial one and more. You see it in kitchens, living rooms, offices and halways in grey, white or black.

What the other people in the "expert panel" answered, I don´t know, but I´m excited to read about it their next issue.

Rad Reykjavik

This Easter I am going back to Reykjavik to capture more beautiful Icelandic homes. There will be four days with work and a couple of days of relaxation and sightseeing. Hate to leave the beautiful spring weather we´re having these days, but excited to see more of this cool city.

Tudeluuu!

Playing with food...

I have been playing quite a lot with food lately and I absolutely love it!!!

On Monday we did a story on apples making homemade, old fashion caramel apples and many other great recipes. No wonder it is hard to stick to a healthy diet...

When and where the feature will be out, I don´t know for sure, but I´ll keep you posted!
