I have a set of dinnerware that we got as a wedding gift that is now old & worn out but we don’t have the heart to get rid of it. There are so many occasions over the years that the set has brightened our everyday lives with its simple design.
It is the small, sometimes broken and worn objects that hold together the time we have gone through with the experiences that we sometimes barely remember.
Hallways, regardless of size, deserve a lighting solution that makes the very best first impression.

The saucer bubble pendant that HAY sells — was originally designed by American designer George Nelson in the late 1940s – inspired by Swedish hanging lamps he admired but couldn’t afford.

Definitely a timeless piece!

Angel chimes is a classic Christmas decoration in Sweden & it’s based on the principle that the heat from the candles causes a propeller to spin, which causes the little angels to move & ring.
The angels & the gentle sound are connected to the Christmas message of peace. The movement & sound has made it a cozy & atmospheric tradition in many Swedish homes.
