From Europe with Love 👀 October 20, 2024

Buonasera from Merano!

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

This week, I’ve been thinking about irodori — a Japanese palindrome concept of bringing energy and brightness to a space through the use of colors.

It’s all about adding that perfect detail to make things pop, and I’ve found some bold, eye-catching pieces that do just that. From blue soap bubble plates to a puffer jacket that’s sure to turn heads, this lineup has something to brighten up your fall day 🍂

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 ☀️

Bubbles Blue Plates [🇩🇰]

These handmade plates from Copenhagen bring something truly unique to the table — literally. The Bubbles Blue plates by MK Ceramics are created using actual blue soap bubbles, which give each piece its own one-of-a-kind texture and pattern. No two plates are alike, making them perfect for those who love something a little different. Check them out here.

Pradera Puffer Jacket [🇪🇸]

If you haven’t had Outsiders Division from Barcelona on your radar, it’s time to fix that. Their designs are wonderfully bonkers, in the best way possible. The Pradera Puffer Jacket is one of their more accessible pieces (relatively speaking 😅). Bold, colorful, and definitely a conversation starter — perfect for standing out this winter.
Take a look here.

Tubi Book Holder [🇧🇪]

From Ghent, Belgium, comes the Tubi Book Holder by Emil Robbrecht. Minimalist, sleek, and functional, it’s the perfect way to keep your favorite books in place while adding a subtle design element to your room. It's all about blending form with function—find out more here.

Eclipse Table Lamp [🇩🇪]

Inspired by the beauty of celestial events, Fundamental Berlin brings us the Eclipse Table Lamp. Its layered design and soft, diffused light mimic the mesmerizing effect of an eclipse. This lamp is not just lighting — it’s an art piece that elevates any space. Let your space shine here.

Drobe Suitcase [🇬🇧]

For now, this concept by Studio Milla isn’t available to buy, but the idea is intriguing. Drobe takes inspiration from the travel trunks of the late 19th century (think original Louis Vuitton suitcases) that transformed into furniture at your destination. It brings that same sense of versatile travel comfort into today’s world. Keep an eye on this innovative design here.
