During this season in Japan, people have Hanami festivals to celebrate the beauty of the cherry blossom and for many are a chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. We are delighted to be part of the new refurbishment of the Yasuragi guestrooms. The new look wil have a subtle feminine touch with simplicity and harmony that is influenced by Japanese design.
We are excited by the approaching opening date of the new Radisson Blu Metropol in Helsingborg in September 2015.

We are in the middle of exciting work with Yasuragi Hasseludden, a Japanese spa in Stockholm. These red portals are inspired by traditional Japanese portals and line the road up to the spa – putting you in the right mindset before entering. The red colour is part of Japanese heritage and will be based on a Swedish red limewash but with pigments that create that vibrant signal red. The new refurbished conference area and the portals will be completed by the beginning of 2013.
Winter is soon here and why not go to Åre and stay at Fjällgården, a classic among Swedish ski hotels? We did the interior design a couple of years ago and it’s still one of the most popular hotels in Åre. Enduring quality over time – we like.
We went to see some good projects and design in Barcelona, one of our favourite cities.

Our yearly inspirational trip went to the furniture fair of Milan – Il Salone del Mobile. This year was quite a calm year with not too many exciting new products and initiatives. We saw a lot of colours that reminded of the colours on the fashion catwalks (pastels and neons). Many companies re-launched their heritage products and talked about the process of manufacturing and design. The big brands impressed as usual with artistic and conscious presentations of their new products. See more of our images from Milan at our Pinterest.
