06/02/2020 in News /by PennyDesigners Series – Ejner Larsen & Aksel Bender Madsen
23/01/2020 in News /by PennySiv and Siri are such a handsome pair! Designed by Ejner Larsen and Aksel Bender Madsen the quality of design shines through and they really epitomise the best in Danish midcentury furniture making.

A Patch on an Eames Fibreglass Chair..
25/10/2019 in News /by PennyI love this photo, it’s of an Eames Fibreglass Chair and is a working model that Charles and Ray Eames kept on hand as part of their study collection. When it got a hole in its original green Naugahyde upholstery they had it patched with contrast electrical tape. They didn’t throw it away, or get […]

The pops of magenta, (a common flower colour for this group), make it feel fantastically […]
Inspiration
07/02/2019 in News /by PennyOne of my favourite paintings can be found in the home of the renowned midcentury Danish architect and designer Finn Juhl. The painting is of his second wife, Hanne Hansen by Danish painter, Vilhelm Lundstrøm. Lundstrøm was one of the most famous and beloved Danish painters of the 20th Century and he inspired midcentury architects […]
Interiors
07/02/2019 in News /by PennyI’m definitely drawn to interiors which feel like a window onto the people who live there and of the life lived. Not necessarily shrines to a particular style or era but more a reflection of loves and experiences, spaces which have a real sense of place and personality. (It’s partly why I chose the name […]
