swedish kitchens

: : .jeu de paume. is a small family run Japanese publisher, who have created some lovely books with wonderful imagery of Swedish homes. My favorite is of kitchens in .stockholm.

there's so many great designs of simple commodity products in Sweden. here's a sneak peek into my mom's pantry [from my Christmas trip].

update: : looks like they're currently searching for couples without children living in .stockholm., for their coming book. if you're interested, there's more information on lovely .emma's blog.

a little help?

: : found this beauty in a vintage design store in .montreal. a few weeks ago when I was visiting my sister. it's got a swiveling teak arm, and the profile of the lamp itself is just beautiful. it's like a happy cloud hanging next to my bed.

but I was hoping for some help, all I know is that it's a danish design, made in .denmark. in the 60's.....but I'd love to find out more about it, so if you've seen similar lamps, or have any information about this one, I would love to know. I've googled, searched e.bay....but can't seem to find anything. I'm hoping you guys can help me out. thank you!

: : update : : new photos of the lamp. I keep staring at it. my friend .maiya. has developed lamp envy. maybe these photos will her make her more jealous? so far, no lead on its origin. it might remain a mystery.
