Oi Soi Oi

Oi Soi Oi is Vietnamese for “goodness gracious me” and it's a Danish company designing and producing interior designs, furniture, clothes and accessories. It was founded by Britt Goodall and Christina Thorbøll in 2007. Their products are made by hand in carefully selected workshops in Vietnam.

The combination of the Scandinavian design simplicity with the rich craft heritage of Asia, makes their products unique and exceptional. I'm in love with their collections!!! Fabulous neutral materials, such as silk, bamboo, ceramic and lovely colors, that have exotic yet a little bit romantic vibe.

PIP Studio - Happy products for Happy People

To some she is Anke, others call her Catharina but everyone knows her as PiP - a nickname she was given from an early age. PiP is the product designer and creator of PiP Studio, based in the Netherlands.

PiP's inspiration comes from designing products that she could never find but always wanted. Her vision on her designs is actually quite simple, practical and sincere: “If I make a product, it has to be so good that I would like to keep it myself or if I give it to a friend or member of the family it must bring a little bit of joy and happiness. Without this emotion, it cannot be a true PIP product”. That's why all PIP’s products must meet her motto: ‘Happy products for Happy People’.

Her style has a warm and charming character. She often uses a mix and match concept with layered patterns and has a sharp eye for tiny details and special finishing touches combined with a subtle color pallet.

She is also a true busy bee who never stops. Since she set up her studio, she has created many things like: a bed & bath collection of duvet covers, quilts, cushions, and bath and beach towels; a series of mugs; a collection of wallpaper; a lovely breakfast service named ‘Lovebirds’; a collection of tableware, table-cloths, runners and napkins and many , many other stunning products.

Sabrina Linn's world of pillows

Adding color and pattern is the easiest way to add personal style to your home. But sometimes mixing and matching colors and patterns, might be a quite difficult task. And a former freelance stylist and Style Editor at Canadian House & Home Magazine, Sabrina Linn knew that. While still working at the magazine, she started sewing up pillows in her spare time giving them as gifts to friends. And when one of her pillows, she had been making for friend, landed on the cover, she instantly knew the timing was right to try something new. So she decided to launch her own line of pillows.

The idea behind the line is to design coordinated collections that don't look like typical coordinates. The fabrics are selected so that they amazingly work together, even though they are different. Mix of colors and prints, creating a fresh, funny look perfectly reflects her design philosophy, that the silhouette of any design - whether it's a pillow, tunic or a sofa - should have a classic form in order to balance the color and print. Her collections are all limited editions, while only a limited number of each style is made to last the season.

Here are some fabulous pillows from her collections: Flock, Garden and Resort, and something that I really just couldn't resist not to post - a sneak peek into her bag!
