Bubble pendant
The saucer bubble pendant that HAY sells — was originally designed by American designer George Nelson in the late 1940s – inspired by Swedish hanging lamps he admired but couldn’t afford.
The pendant is a standout example of mid-century modern lighting & feels just as fresh today.
Definitely a timeless piece!

A kaleidoscope!
Angel chimes
Angel chimes is a classic Christmas decoration in Sweden & it’s based on the principle that the heat from the candles causes a propeller to spin, which causes the little angels to move & ring.
The angels & the gentle sound are connected to the Christmas message of peace. The movement & sound has made it a cozy & atmospheric tradition in many Swedish homes.

An incredible creator.

It’s an art in itself to mix colors & patterns – and by that, turn them into a work of art.

University | Sydney
The UTS (university of technology) architecture is a sight to behold, with its features that grabs the attention visually.
Contrast & form, transparency & light and expressive geometry – some buildings intended as statements or landmarks with its glass façades, open atria, curved facades etc.
A great experience for anyone that’s interested of architecture & design.
Jacaranda season
It’s a flowering season in Sydney now, but outside of the season, jacaranda trees tend to lose their leaves (or at least many of them) & can look quite bare. The trees are deciduous in their growth habit, losing their leaves for part of the year. In Sydney in particular, they often turn yellow in winter & lose their leaves in late winter/early spring.
Books
It’s a good idea to use a narrow space, which is otherwise difficult to utilize, leading into another room.
Home library
Who doesn’t want to live surrounded by books? It’s like pure heaven ⭐️
Shanghai in Sydney
A very busy place & popular among locals – a decent place, especially if you like Shanghainese-style or modern Chinese cuisine. The restaurant offers a really large menu of popular Shanghai style dishes.
Quote
A beautiful & wistful quote. Beau Taplin’s reflections on wanderlust & self-discovery.
Capturing the deep, restless urge to escape familiarity, to lose yourself in the unknown – and to feel alive through displacement.
