Me and my wife live on about 43 sqm or 460 sqf so we have to make the most of it. When we moved to Helsinki in the autumn last year we knew we’d have only half of our original living space and so we could only bring less than half of our stuff. The space is a classic 1920′s

I got all excited when Thinglink said I could try posting some Amazon affiliated links, grouped with my tagged objects. Well here goes – I snapped a quick photo of some of my favorite things and added links. I’d much appreciate if you tried clicking some of the tags. Once I reach 100 hits, the coffee is on me. Oh,

And so the year draws to an end. But an end is also the beginning of something new, providing a fresh start and a new perspective. For me it has always been about doing what I feel is right – right for me and right for something bigger than me. It’s as simple as this – if we strive to

I took to writing short reflections on gratitude via Twitter half a year ago. I’m using the hashtag #TodayIamgratefulfor and with them I try to show that it’s not the big things but the small moments that matter.

I have been a scavenger all of my life, finding joy in picking up stuff from the street, dumpsters and flea markets. I started out as an all-eater but have since refined my taste to a bare minimum. Even though I can afford it, I have never had an urge to populate my home with new soulless things, much to

If you were to select five objects that have affected you in some way during your lifetime, what would they be? It could be a toy, car, household item, love letter or any object that has left a dent in your existence. 1. For me it would be my action figures acquired at age 8-12 which both got me in

I’ve been hunting for finds for as long as I can remember, the only thing that has changed is my taste. Here I display all of my thrifting finds from now on. Here are some of my other finds from back in the days. And here is Designaddict’s take on the matter. I’m using the Thinglink tagging tool to give a

“If you look at these chairs, they are mainly made of air, like sculpture. Space passes right through them.” – Harry Bertoia About two years ago I bought eight Harry Bertoia side chairs on a wim in Helsinki.

I recently saw the trailer for Howl, the story on Allen Ginsberg, and the trailer’s beat and structure made me start recollecting all the great trailers that I’ve seen over the years. The short format has always interested me and I foresaw the coming of the <10 minute clip. I wrote my last college thesis on movie trailer structure back
