Spent the weekend in the big apple, can't help to feel that I left a piece of my heart there. Inspiration everywhere. From cool restaurant concepts like mexican La Esquina in Soho-Nolita, (where you enter through a secret door in a take-away diner), to lovely, sharp branding like VSA Partner's rebranding of American shoe label Cole Haan. Street art like Polish artist Olek’s knitted objects and an endless supply of signage, colours and materials.
Just found this Almedahls fabric, absolutely love it. Designed ages ago, but brought out of the archives, designed by Marianne Westman. It's called 'Körsbärstradgården' or 'Cherry Orchard'. Makes me think of spring!
