Thank you, Sweden

It gives Brunklaus Amsterdam a great feeling of gratitude to be able to share our inspiration at the Stockholm Furniture Fair. We would like to thank all visitors for their positive response to the new collection! We would also like to thank the organization for their support and hospitality, we are looking forward for the show in 2013! 

Stockholm Furniture Fair 2012

It's the third day of the Stockholm Furniture Fair 2012. New pillows, lamps and more are on display at our booth this year.  The Stockholm Furniture Fair breeds big ideas among creative people and plenty of positive energy. Even on the first day, after our stand was painted in a deep-blue green, it looked like we entered a fairy tale. We realized the Brunklaus world in pop-up form!

Above: Sognsvann and Abstract Gold Pendant lamp 

(Handmade, oak and printed silk)

The colors of the new Sognsvann pendant lamps are bold and sultry against the background walls. Every movement  in the air provokes the silk to move slightly, like ripples on the surface of the Norwegian Lake Sognsvann (the source of inspiration for the new lamp).

As architects, press and stylist came from  Elle, Bobedre, and the Swedish design magazine Villabladet Sydväst, we had the feeling we were losing them to another world in the soft and alluring glow of the pendant lamps.

Stockholm Furniture Fair 2012

It's less than two weeks before this year's Stockholm Furniture Fair, February 7-11th.
Excitement is in the air at our Amsterdam studio as we prepare our new collection for its debut in Sweden.  
Nicolette Brunklaus, our C.E.O. and chief designer, was inspired to create much of the work on a trip to Scandinavia, so it seems fitting that inspiration and inspired should meet again to introduce the collection.
Pictured here is a preview of the new Brunklaus textiles featuring uncommonly beautiful combinations of vintage colors, trompe l ‘oeil designs and various modern structures. 
Let us know what you think online or in person at the fair Hall A Stand A20:11

inspiration

Every time I visit a forest  I make sure I have my camera with me. As a hunter I explore the woods for the right light and the right colors.
This was taken last sunday.

 There is an exhibition on Ruud van Empel in the Groninger Museum right now.

I find him  one of the most interesting photographers at the moment

I also visited an opening at the Jewish Historical museum/Joods historisch museum in Amsterdam for the opening of a New York based photographer

Saul Leiter (1923).

Beautiful refections on everyday street life in New York.
