post number forty - black, brown and red objects
This is last post from my Sydney home for now… The white plaster blocked etching of a ladder was purchased from Planet Furniture in Sydney (I have forgotten the artist’s name - me bad). The deep intense red handblown glass vessel is secondhand, brown handblown glass is from Object Gallery, iittala Aalto vase with twig pencils, and the brown peanut-shaped bowl is by Rina Menardi. The bull is from Barcelona and the stone carved pig (on the far left) was a gift from my Mum from overseas.

post number thirty five - beakers and knives
In this post are my newly purchased Stelton ‘Pure Black Knifes’ designed by HolmbackNordentoft. These are finished in a matt black coating and look amazing… Apparently very functional too (haven’t used them yet!). The glass beakers are from the ‘Relations’ series by iittala, as is the ‘Trio’ set of stacking bowls.

post number thirty four - assorted iittala collection
For those who don’t already know - I am a huge iittala fan. The bulk of the items featured here are from the ‘Relations’ series of glass bowls, beakers and pourers by Carina Seth-Andersson and Annaleena Hakatie. Also part of the series are the drinking glasses by Marc Newson (I have a few of these back in Sydney) and the Grcic glasses by Konstantin Grcic (yes i have these too!). Also featured in this post are some Kartio carafes by Kaj Franck and the Trio stacking bowls by Camilla Kropp.

post number thirty three - black, grey, white and wood
Yes it has been a while since the last post. Here are some random objects grouped together on a wooden block. The grey glass is one of the Holmegaard Chimney vases, the clear glass beaker from the Relations range is by iittala, the small butter dish is by Marc Newson and a small Alessi spoon. The small plastic hand is a magnet.

In this post are some iittala Alvar Aalto ‘Aalto’ vases and small dishes in clear and grey glass. The cute white glass penguin (at least I think its a penguin) is second-hand from Chapel Street Bazaar.

post number twenty six - aalto vases
Here is part of my iittala Aalto vase collection. I think I have another eight or more in my other home. The Aalto vase was originally designed by Alvar Aalto in 1937. Best displayed with big bunches of tulips or waterlillies…

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…

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.
