No need to tell you I have always been attracted to metal. Years ago I mainly wrote about industrial and raw spaces, early readers will remember how we all swooned over the industrial home in concrete and steal by Johan Israelson. I experimented a lot with adding unusual metal objects to my styling, which I mainly found at antique and curiosa markets. It was my own style in which I often used zinc, sometimes I still come across a beautiful French roof decoration as I used. There are moments I regret selling it must confess.
In the meantime, most of the objects, except for a few real treasures, have disappeared from my styling and home. You still see a lot of metal in my home though. Such as the beautiful shelves from Menuspace, which I get a question about almost every week. You can’t miss my metal cabinets, table and chairs by wdstck. I brought more brass into my home and in my styling, metal is also still present, in addition to ceramics and beautiful fabrics, but now a bit more polished using objects from my ever expanding Mad et Len collection.
Industrial minimalism | Frama Rivet Collection
Industrial minimalism is a term I used in the time I started decluttering my home from all the zink and slowly adopted a more minimalist approach while decorating my home. When thinking of minimalism, Scandinavia and Japan comes to mind. And when I first discovered Danish Frama over 10 years ago, I immediately fell in love with the brand. Later I visited the home of founder Niels Strøyer Christophersen. See here: A raw and minimalistic apartment | Frama Studio apartment which at that moment really was an eye opener. Telling me that the direction I was going, was pure and personal and perfectly reflected my ideas on decorating and that that was okay!
Years later my style is still changing and ‘developing’…. and can you believe I am also still decluttering. I accepted my kitchen will never have a bare empty countertop as I love good food and a Burgundian kitchen style while keeping it minimal. I can just get really happy from a stack of black plates, kitchen herbs and beautiful silver cutlery in a ceramic pot. I also adopted colour into my home, creating the perfect kitchen for my Mediterranean heart.
Rivet Shelves
With the ongoing use of Aluminium, adding a soft industrial touch to our homes, I’d love you to have a look at the Rivet Shelves by Frama. Rivet Shelf makes for a practical and aesthetic storage solution and a symbiosis between craftsmanship and industrial production. The first piece in the series was developed in 2011 at the Statens Værksteder for Kunst, National Workshops for Arts in Copenhagen, aiming to find an alternative to welding aluminum. Recently also glass variants were added to the Series. Have a look at the shelves and other products from this series at the frama website here: Rivet Series
