Party decoration/ paper boats by Jurianne Matter

I really like the idea of making paper boats for the party and put inside some nice appetizer for kids. I saw it made for the first time by Jurianne Matter . She is a dutch designer making beautiful paper objects. You can make a paper boats from any paper you like, and give them your personal touch. Paper boats look really nice also hanging like garlands or on the plates...and it is so easy to make!

Preparing a birthday for my son last week I found some nice inspirations for party and birthday's decoration which I want to share with you. I'm a big paper lover. Searching on the web and crossing really nice shops and products was real fun ;-)

He is a french illustrator, and has in his portfolio many great books , which you can see here : gwenkeraval.com/ I bought this paper banner, and really like it ! the colors, the delicate paper and super drawing! 

Made in Poland – Mukaki

An architect has most of the time pretty broad design skils. You see architects designing not only buldings, but furniture, lighting, landscape or even great fashion (la casita de wendy) accessories, among many others things.  Agnieszka Zielińska –Chmura  is also an architect , and she is standing behind Mukaki brand. After birth of her daughter she expended her workscope , by designing children rooms, and nice objects for them.  Pilows, carpets, lamps, she uses filt, with worm and playfull colors.

Bongo Design

Magdalena Choinacka , an artist and illustrator, is standing behind Bongo Design brand. I really like the hand made puzzles, and the magnets, with flit. They are giving chance to make any kind of object with it. And what about the graphics? It would look great in some teenager’s room. Don’t you think?

Furniture - Kalonstudios

It was a bit quite last week. So today I want to share with you something special. Can you imagine that all this beautiful objects are coming from one company? I enjoy so much the work , the website and all philosophy behind the Kalon design. It is a German/American husband and wife team run by Johannes Pauwen and Michaele Simmering. They use to say that, their company  was "inspired in Berlin, made in Los Angeles". Kalon studio is now promoting their great furniture in Europe.
I really love the beauty of their craftsmanship , simplicity but with the twist, and new and fresh design.
