Unfortunately she couldn't see al the exhibitions but enough to share a little impression of some of our favorites! You can head over to Elvera' s account @elveravanschaik for more highlights of this amazing event! #aprilandmayinspired #interiorinspiration #scandinaviandesign #3daysofdesign #copenhagen #aprilandmaytravels #whatinspiresus

Throwback to our trip to Finland where we visited the amazing home of Alvar Aalto @artekglobal If you ever have the chance you really have to pay a visit.

. D A I L Y R I T U A L S | before heading at the office . I wasn't familiar with Acqua di Parma Colonia before but I'm glad I got the opportunity to get to know it ... what a great scents! Due to its special composition of natural essential oils, Colonia remains for both men and women and because there were 3 different scents in my travel set, I can try them extensively together with the mister .... Such a wonderful start of the day don't you think so! What are yourplans for today? Happy Monday everyone :-) . . . #kindlygifted #@acquadiparma_official #colonia #scented #travel #aprilandmaytravels #inmybedroom #dailyituals #beauty #myhometoinspire #interior #elverashome #homedeco

A little throwback to Milan, which we visited last year during the Milan Design week. We can't wait to visit the Salone del Mobile in two weeks and to see this beautiful city again. We will be, together with Mosa Tiles, exploring Masterly, the Dutch Pavilion, which will take place in the Historical Rooms of the home of the Dutch Pavilion: Palazzo Francesco Turati. We are especially very curious to visit Mosa at Masterly, taking the visitor on a journey through space and time, where Mosa’s installation uses mirrors as a reference to Rembrandt’s famous, numerous self-portraits, elaborating on the notion of self-reflection. Really looking forward to take you on our journey too! #MosaMasterly @mosatiles #aprilandmaytravels #milandesignweek2019 #milan #mdw2019

Looking back at a inspiring trip, we had last week in Helsinki. Yesterday was my first day at work after our 4 (!!) week holiday break and I'm still looking for a new routine and structure and going through all the e-mails that have been waiting for replies. So, first coffee and some more organizing 👌🏻
Back to work again after our inspiring trip to Finland where we discovered everything about Artek and Alvar Aalto. Visiting his former home was one of the highlights for me. Thank you @artekglobal and @murielkdl for this great trip and inspiration.
