Edit 36 ~ Interior Design Collaborations

I love that collaborations are now reshaping interiors, much like how we have seen them dominate fashion for the past 20 years. I have rounded up my favorite picks, each with a nod to Scandi-ness.

On Friday 9th August, I found myself in The Times twice! I will never get over seeing my words or a picture of myself in a newspaper. There is a dopamine hit coupled with a deep appreciation and feelings of reward and recognition.

If you follow me on Instagram, you will see that I’ve pivoted into product design. While I’m still working on my styling jobs, supporting brands with their seasonal launches, and sharing newness, my heart has always been in design and creating.

If I had the knowledge and expertise back in the 90s I might have gone on to study something in interior design or fashion at University but the only subjects on my radar were the usual and so I ended up studying English Literature. I think not having a childhood full of cultural experiences, travel or even visiting museums meant there was a definite void of knowledge and experience. But in a way, I feel like I have ended up being exactly where I was always supposed to be: working in a creative role and I believe that lived experience is just as valid as professional qualifications. After all, how many 18-year-olds really know what they want to do? If you could go back in time, would you have chosen differently?

Back to the article in The Times—it highlights how strategic partnerships in the design world are reshaping modern interiors with a fresh, minimalist approach.

For this week’s Edit, I’ve curated a selection of pieces which speak (even if not intentionally) of Scandi-inspired design and I have included one of my own! I feel that it is important to feature here as I never know what you have or haven’t seen on Instagram.
