Tricia Guild for Bemz
Bemz, the ingenious provider of 'prêt-à-porter' and bespoke covers for IKEA soft furniture, is celebrating 10 years in business and to mark this milestone they have teamed up with a clutch of exiting designers to create a special 10th anniversary collection.
First out is Tricia Guild, who presents the first curation of the collection - a printed cotton cover in 'Azure Sudara' for IKEA's Söderhamn sofa, awash with luscious hydrangeas which contrast beautifully against the minimalist lines of the sofa itself. Tricia has teamed this with crisp and zesty cushions in Designers Guild's soft and tactile 'Brera Lino' (and might I add that this is quite a bit cheaper than if you were to buy similar cushions at DG itself...)

IKEA trip!
Yay! Today I am spending the day at IKEA :)
The first thing my husband said this morning was "are you going to IKEA? Please don't buy too many things. We have too much as it is. And please call me before you buy anything large." With a seriously concerned look on his face. He knows me well..
I'm just going for an outing really. Though I am looking forward to seeing the latest product launches up close, having seen the photos on IKEA's fantastic blog Livet Hemma.
On my list of items to locate in the big blue and yellow hall are the new KNAGGLIG storage crates in pine, which can be stained and painted (easily 'vintaged') and used for tidying up garden stuff...
BARSÖ trellis... which might work better than a pin-board (it's hard to find a nice one)

Garden furniture, like this BROMMÖ recliner and TÄRNÖ table and chairs in easy on the eye black acacia wood
Not to mention the NIPPRIG collection (where I have my eye on a certain armchair), how lovely is this little two-seater?
Obviously, the new smartphone chargers. Game-changing, like this RIGGAD lamp.
The SINNERLIG collection by Ilse Crawford - if there is any left...
and food. I'll quite clearly have to recharge my batteries in the cafeteria, but I also want to pick up some bits and bobs from the food shop for our Norway Day garden party next month.
I think I'll be home late...

Bamboo
This spring seems to be awash with beautifully curved cane (or rattan, or bamboo) chairs, all promising creaky retro relaxation. I'd like to pile one full of cushions and place it in the bay window of our bedroom - a place to curl up and read before bed.
It should be a little wide, so that I can pull my feet up, and with a high back so that I can lean back properly...
IKEA's NIPPRIG bamboo armchair above is a snip at £50 and looks very comfortable. It's part of a limited collection which was launched at the end of March, so I'm going to have to get myself down to IKEA very soon (not that I ever mind a trip to the big blue & yellow warehouse, it's like a giant play pen for adults).
My future bedroom chair actually looks quite similar to the much (much much!) more expensive
Fåtölj 311 designed by Josef Frank for Svenskt Tenn in the 30's. Which I can't afford - and which isn't sold here in the UK anyway.

Summer Novelties
Tine K, the Danish purveyor of pared-down homeware and fashion, has just launched a summer collection called 'Summer Novelties' with beautiful sun-bleached pieces to die for. My favourite picks? These two:
a nifty little 'basket pocket' in plain blond leather which you attach to your beach basket...
...like so. No more scrabbling around for your phone or ice cream money at the bottom of your (sandy) bag.
And this cane sofa, perfect for flopping on after an arduous day on the beach...
Lovely. Takk Tine!
The great thing about Tine K is that you can order from the online shop and have it delivered 'abroad', ie outside Denmark. Unlike many of the Nordic brands which I covet.
There are several retailers here in the UK who sell part of the Tine K range, but I haven't found anywhere in the London area that sells the full range. Online does.
