post number eighteen - kivi tealights (take two) 
Here is another photo of the Kivi tealights. I thought this photo might do them more justice! So far (hmmm…) I own 13 large and 35 small kivis…

post number seventeen - kivi tealights 
Here is my collection of iittala Kivi tealights designed by Heikki Orvola. There are more colours in the range but I think I have enough already…

post number sixteen - black things
I am quite a collector of all things black. Here we have the miniature Panton chair with the human-sized version, both made by Vitra. The AJ Lamp, was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1960 and made by Louis Poulsen, is my favourite floor lamp. On the cardboard block table are a selection of Dinosaur Designs bowls and an iittala Aalto vase. The wall calendar was designed by Massimo Vignelli and is produced by Nava Design.

post number fifteen - aalto and panton 
Here is a very small post of two design icons: Alvar Aalto’s Aalto vase (originally designed in 1937) and produced by iittala and miniature Panton chairs designed by Verner Panton (in 1967) and produced by Vitra.

post number fourteen - glossy white things
Here are some white porcelain and glass objects I own. I am a fan of designer Ole Jensen who designed the giant sock-shaped platter and curved handled cups, made by Royal Copenhagen and the teapot with the large knob with matching cups, made by Normann Copenhagen.  The mini Aalto vase is made by iittala and miniature Panton chair is produced by Vitra.

post number twelve - small artworks 
I have always been a fan of small scaled artworks - I love the idea of collecting and building up an entire wall display made up of eclectic paintings, sketches, collages and prints. Some of the work featured here are by Amy Alexander, Jacob de Graaf (yes more!), Simon Browne, Darren Henderson and drawings by close friends.

post number nine - flat things
This new posting is made up of all things flat or alternatively two dimensional objects made 3D! I’ve always loved Tim Fleming’s cutouts and the bulk of this spread are his objects - ie the hand mirrors, grey rain cloud, trees, black cutouts (all from the series titled Flatland OK) . The small artwork made from painted timber offcuts was purchased from Glebe Markets (Sydney). The big flat bear at the top is a packet of face blotting papers. The large leather swallow brooch is by Miu Miu. The plywood arrow-like form was an offcut sample from a supplier.

post number seven - dinosaur designs, muji and alexander girard 
A new composition with mostly Dinosaur Designs (yes a one more post… I will give Dinosaur a short break after this post!), Alexander Girard Wooden Doll made by Vitra and some small domestic handpainted shapes (love the caravan and car especially) from a Muji cityscape set. The little round grey tinted glass bud vase is Holmegaard and the meerkat was purchased from a toy shop. The large swirly polished Dinosaur Designs vase is probably one of my favourite pieces - its pretty amazing in reality.

Here is a photo of my overall Dinosaur Designs collection to date. There are a few more pieces in my other home as well as maybe a few more lost in storage somewhere. More Dinosaur photos to follow in upcoming posts…

post number four - teaspoons
Here is a collection of mini spoons I currently own (minus the timber ones shown previously). The smallest spoon (the ceramic white one with the hole) shown is just under 80mm tall. Most of the spoons shown are Dinosaur Designs (personal faves are the coral textured bone shaped one and the mid green pipe shaped one), with an additional few by Alessi and of course the AJ espresso spoon by Georg Jensen. The drinking figure cutout is by Tim Fleming.
