Norwegian design

If you guys are into norwegian designs from the 50s and 60s -

"Fuglen", a coffe shop in Oslo sells vintage furniture - gathered by one of the owners, Peppe.

A truly unique place in Oslo, should anyone ever visit us here in the north...

Tyler Brule from of Monocle loves it so much - the entire Monocle staff flew over to have their X-mas office party at "Fuglen"...



Even the Primeminister stops by everynow and then..

^ Co-sign on the Fuglen praise. It's my regular coffee place and easily the nicest café/cocktail bar in Oslo.

Btw, they're planning on opening up shop in Tokyo and NYC in 2012. Hopefully they'll manage to recreate what they've done in Oslo.

That it does. I had a look at their site, and it seems the two brands are quite complementary.

My lady and I purchased a BoConcepts sofa recently. Have to say, it's quite impressive how changing just your sofa can give the living room a completely new 'vibe' and look. + I got it for $500 so no complaints there

Swedes - I'm looking for the website of this one store, possibly in stockholm, that sells and rents antiques. I can't remember the name, all I can think of is that it seemed like a small place, and they specifically rented their stock, and it was more or less industrial antiques.

Do You know where in Stockholm it is? If so I could probably figure out which one You mean.

Cheap FLOR Modular carpet tiles.

Didn't think this post was proper for GOOD FINDS, but if you ever bought FLOR tiles, you know they are quite versatile, but unfortunately pricey : (

Just stocked up on sale here @ 30% off: http://fab.com/sale/1257/

FLOR does not work on carpet. i wanted to build an odd shape runner with these things and they need a flat surface to rest on..

looking for a set of modern overly-large/spacious sitting chairs. currently envisioning something like the coconut chairs, but with a larger backrest for more lounging perhaps. To severely restrict my options i'm looking for something quite affordable though so no big name designers unless you expect me to get a chinese knockoff.



or perhaps something like this with softer materials.

I've been looking for some floor pillows / cushions since pretty much everything in my room is really low the ground so I figured I'd continue the theme and get a low table and some cushions. I ran across these incredible looking shibori-dyed ones but they're no longer available.





Would be extremely appreciative of anyone whose got suggestions for floor seating or seen anything along these lines (maybe in japan?). Thanks!

Hi Servo - Shibori dyed fabrics are quite easy to source - particularly vintage shibori. It would be quite easy to buy a bolt of fabric or a couple of kimono and have them taken apart and sewn into pillow covers by a local tailor.

An example: from ebay.

If you take care to find textiles that don't have to ship from Japan, you'll pay next to nothing ($.99-$10) per large piece.

Post your pillows if you find or have them made!

Cheers,
