Objects Of Desire – In White
It must be the long, dark months ahead here in Seattle (not to mention in Sweden!) that give me an urgent need to brighten my home as much as possible. And right now I am swooning over these white objects. They can move in with me any time!
You have most likely seen these vessels several times before. They don’t tire me. I absolutely love these modern pieces by Sara Paloma and I am now ready for my own little collection of pottery that she describes as the “LA skyline”.

Yes, they have been featured in many design magazines but I don’t care! They are still so lovely to me! These beautiful feather headdresses, so called Juju hats, are handmade in Cameroon and worn by prominent members of society, as well as Juju dancers. I love the organic feel and the round shape. They come in many lovely colors but a white one will be moving in with me soon. I have a perfect spot for it in my living room.
Here is a mirror (“Mirror Mirror”), also from DutchDesign that I think is so much fun. Simply gaze into this mirror and get something to read while you are styling your hair. The text is engraved on a special mirror glass surface, offering optimum reflective coverage.
Jonathan Adler’s scented Muse Blanc Candle is set in a a porcelain vessel that glows as the candle burns. After the candle is gone, the vessel makes for a perfect flower vase. The candle is 3.5″ high.
The Facetta bowls from Kähler are so beautiful. A nice lamp and this bowl are all you need on your chest of drawers. The bowl is designed by Søren Thygesen from Denmark. The bowls are available in three sizes. They can be purchased from Illums Bolighus among other stores.
Also from Illums Bolighus are these classy candleholders crafted in brass, plated with 24 carat gold, from Georg Jensen. They are designed by Regitze Overgaard. Aren’t they lovely together with white candles? This image is going into my personal style file!
And here are two bedrooms with plenty of white to recharge any sun deprived body & soul. (Images from Skona Hem).
Happy Monday lovely blog friends!

Hello!Thank you for your comment on my blog..I see we have the same “desire” for white! I am really drawn to white objects/paint/furniture when I see it. I love those vases & the bowls are gorgeous. That room via “Designalogue” is stunning! Have a great monday.

The vases on the top really are gorgeous. I fear that if I had them in my home, I would probably break that thin and fragile top right off, though! But they sure are fab!
Have a great week, dear!
Great post Mon! I love it when you do a ‘mixed-bag of treats’ like this!
That white Juju is fantastic – would look divine over the bed in our master.. An empty spot waiting to be filled.
Also love the Georg Jensen hanging candle holders – I am always a fan of mixing man-made with nature-made. Stunning combination!

I just adore that last Skona Hem bedroom. I have it saved and look at it whenever I need to see something lovely! The candle holders are really cute – but so are the bowls above them. Ah! I can’t pick a favorite, I want one of everything.
Oh, Monika…! That last bedroom…! It’s the stuff dreams are made of. What a lovely spot to get away and recharge indeed. Beautiful.
