Selection of my current and all-time favorites: minimalist, elegant, yet giving me a warm feeling.
My personal advice is to mix them with handmade / DIY / vintage items to bring some imperfection into your space - I believe that it’s those imperfections that create a “perfect” space.

Vitra - Akari 25N Floorlamp
Frama - Chair 01
Artek - Hocker 60
Vitra Akari YA2 Table lamp
Vitra - Akari 25N (“25N“ is the bigger one. Found here and here. My perfect floor lamp. Unfortunately, when you have a baby crawling around, it’s not the best decision to buy an expensive, super fragile design icon and put it on the floor… so I don’t have it at home yet;
FRAMA01 Chair - warm brown. Available here and here. Also, have a look at the Orchestra Chair by Sven Marlekius for Nordiska Galleriet.
Artek - Hocker 60 in black linoleum or honey. You can find them here, here, here. This iconic design is very versatile; the hocker can be used in every room, as seating, as a nightstand, a side table…

Karl Johan lamp by New Works in my living room.

FermLiving - Bon Tray, XS - helps me keep my desk organized, and doesn’t “eat“ too much space. Where to find: here, here, here.

Our current nursery corner with the Sebra Baby Bed.
Fanto by Sebra - I'm in love with this pull-along toy elephant.
The nursery corner for our baby daughter is currently in our bedroom, and her play area is in our living room. So here are a couple of pieces that I chose for her.
Sebra Baby Bett - really comfortable for side-by-side sleep.
Playhouse (not in the photo) by Kids Concept - the most practical, stylish, minimalist, and elegant playhouse on the market (to my taste).
Fanto pull-along toy by Sebra. This toy elephant has some vintage flair, which I like so much.
P.S. The pendant in our bedroom is Kite by New Works. Available in different sizes and 2 designs (white and white with black).
