Graphic Bedlinnen by Louis Roe Copenhagen

I was inspired by these beautiful photos from the black & white bedlinnen collection from Louise Roe Copenhagen. Louise Roe launched her new collection and it is all about contrasts! The collection shows her love for architecture by using graphic lines of the city of Copenhagen. I wrote more blogs about her inspiring work, SEE HERE
About the designer:

Louise Roe, established in 2010 – is the interior design company with a commitment to high quality, aesthetic and functionality. The mission is to revive Danish interior design and add an architectural touch by using the graphic lines of the urban cities around us as a frame for inspiration. The ambition is to rethink interior design as a concept of simplicity and at the same time have a personality and a story to tell.

Louise Roe is a qualified fashion designer and has worked for many years in the home furnishing and interior design business. So naturally she sees fashion and interior as one as long as its about high quality and esthetics. 

Thank you for reading this blogpost.

MINIMALISTIC DESIGNS BY NORM ARCHITECTS - PART 4

Today I would like to show you some inspiring photos of the Danish company Norm Architects, situated in the heart of Copenhagen, Denmark. Norm works with residential architecture, commercial interiors, industrial design, photography, graphics and art direction. They have a beautiful way of presenting their designs in a way of timeless simplicity, simple shapes and lots of white and grey tones. Earlier I wrote more blogs about this inspiring company Norm Architects, SEE HERE
 More about Norm Architects
Kasper Rønn & Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen
NORM is a multidisciplinary design studio focusing on residential architecture, commercial interiors and industrial design. NORM was founded in 2008 by architects Kasper Rønn and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen by their vocation to create timeless architecture and meaningful design products. "Our home and the things we surround ourselves with, should provide a refuge from the daily chaos, which seems to dominate our world. By understanding minimalism as an aesthetic and simplicity as a philosophy of life, NORM aims at providing structures which gives a feeling of freedom. The justification of a product lies in its ability to differentiate: aesthetically and in functionality. With a determined focus on the good idea, right materials and fine craftsmanship, NORM's primary endeavour is to create useful products, appealing design and architecture that captures and inspire life".
