From Europe with Love 👀 October 13, 2024

Buonasera from Merano!

Welcome to this week’s installment of what’s hot in products & brands!

This week, I’m trying something new by experimenting with a one-of-a-kind vintage find. I’m not sure yet if this will be a regular thing, but if you’re into it and want to see more unique pieces like this 1950s gem, just reply “vintage” and let me know!

I was also on the hunt for small pieces — those little things that make a room pop. You know, the kind that gets an “Oh, that’s nice!” while you pretend you didn’t spend hours finding it. 😅

If you’re new around here: Every week, I share 5 of the coolest products from Europe I’ve discovered in the past 7 days.

I scout and you explore. Let’s get to it!

With love ☀️

1950s Home Office by Astra [🇩🇪]

As said in the intro, this week’s novum isn’t new — it’s a mid-century treasure from the 1950s. Made by German manufacturer Astra, this Hausbüro (home office) is available just once at Midcentury Friends, run by eclectic collectors Johanna and Sven. Clean lines, timeless design, and pure vintage charm. If you're into rare finds, this one’s for you. (I’m also seriously considering it…🤔😅). Check it out here.
