Titel: Scandinavian Seascape, 125cm x 125cm, 2014 Kira Speiser, www.kiraspeiser.com
ColourAre you struggling with which colours to choose for your living room? If you want to try this process on your own, how about getting inspiration from your favourite artist, from that hotel you stayed at during the summer holidays or from that advertising campaign from the 60’s, which you have framed on your wall? If you do that, you will base your colour scheme on work made by specialists in colours, such as artists, interior decorators or creative directors. In this example, we have borrowed our inspiration from the talented Danish-Swiss artist Kira Speiser, who will be exhibiting at holm° this fall. Start by singling out the different colours and hues in the picture and select 3 or 4 of those for your room. After that, it’s time to decide on the order of magnitude of the colours. Ask yourself if you want a dark or light room and then work from there. Say you want a light room, then it’s the light beige colour you might want to select for your walls. The other colours are selected for the larger pieces of furniture in the room. In the end, you might add greens from plants and maybe the odd cushion or fresh flowers in a contrasting colour. If you follow this template, you will have a solid base on which you can then add your personal touch, such as art, books or the odd object. Et voilà! |

NewsOut of the multitude of news that were presented during the furniture fairs in 2014, holm° has made a selection of pieces we find best represents what we prefer to use in interiors: well-made, timeless, beautiful and comfortable pieces. Since we love to mix old and new designs, we always look forward to discovering new launches as well as reintroductions of earlier works. You will find recently designed pieces such as the Analog table from Fritz Hansen, the Frame highboard and Star carpet from Asplund, the stunning carpets from Oyyo and the Galax floor lamp from Örsjö, paired with reintroductions such as the Drop chair and the Grand Prix chair with wooden legs from Fritz Hansen, the No1 Sofa from Fredericia or the PH 3 1/2 - 3 pendant lamp from Louis Poulsen. In addition, we have added iconic pieces such as the Flag halyard easy chair by Hans J Wegner and the Pelican armchair, Eye table and sideboard by Finn Juhl to give you the opportunity to discover why these pieces of furniture turned into icons in the first place. We have also decided to introduce a reading corner in our store with a selection of books and magazines about Scandinavian life style. You are welcome to come by, sit down, have something to drink and dive into the Nordic way of life. We will of course continue to publish news about holm° as well as other Scandinavian topics on our website.
