@STOCKHOLMFURNITUREFAIR @INTERIORTRENDS ETC #STOCKHOLMDESIGNWEEK

This years furniture fair in Stockholm had an Italian guest of honour in well known interior designer and stylist Paola Navone. Her colourful och playful interior stood out from the more homogeneous stands from the Swedish producers and furniture companies who tends to go for the same colours and similar designs. With inspiration from Thailand, Greece and the Mediterranean temperament she had design an inviting and happy "home" in the entrance of the fair.

Surprisingly often I saw architectural details like these arches and "windows". Note the mix of colours, yellow, terracotta, pink and dark green. Elegant. Lammhults.
The sofa now has taken a lot of inspiration from the early 1980 and 1970s with "cushions" fitted in a frame. This version from Hem. Took me back to the early 1980 in the Cassina showroom in Milan during the Salone di Mobile.

The sofas are still low and often in velvet and pink is still big. This colour combination was reoccurring during the fair. A very Swedish tendency to do like the neighbours!

The Ratatouille lounge was super elegant and spacious, again, made me feel like I was back in Milan in the early 1980s. What comes around goes around...more from Stockholm Design Week soon.
