The summer weather in Denmark was trying it’s best to cling on when Ben visited in September on his latest search for beautiful furniture. Catching up with old friends in Copenhagen and out in the country is also a favourite bonus to Ben’s trip…I hear he was lucky enough to join in a gymnastics class (!), enjoy locally made wine from a small vineyard and of course enjoy the famously great danish food and hospitality. He’s reminded what a special place it is each time he visits.
The good news for us on the other side of the world here in Fremantle is that some of that magic has been secured and is heading our way! Whilst Ben did enjoy hanging with the Danish locals doing what the locals do, he spent most of his time hand-picking each furniture item and carefully packing it into a container. And it’s now making its way to our shores. Woo hoo! We are so excited we can’t wait now to unpack it! Watch this space!

Categories: Tags: danish furniture, design aesthetic, Dutch design, mid century, vintageWe are very fortunate to have some of Eveline Kotai’s pieces on our walls at Squarepeg. A wonderfully talented artist who lives right here in Fremantle, WA and creates fascinatingly detailed pieces of such wonder that it’s hard to look away. For Dec only we are offering 20% off her pieces on display at Squarepeg Home. Come and check them out in store or go to her website http://evelinekotai.com.au.
“In recent years she has developed a unique style whereby she cuts up her paintings into thin strips, and reassembles them as tightly knitted grids, using a sewing machine to attach the strips to a canvas with invisible thread. The method is infinite in its applications, and this exhibition is virtuosic in its stylistic variations…While her structures may be rigid, Kotai uses colour to create patterns and rhythms that dance on the canvas.”
– John McDonald, The Sydney Morning Herald, August 25, 2012
Just a few examples of what’s in the store…of course they are always better in the flesh.

…with a mid-century feel
An easy way to get that mid-century feel without buying up big is by choosing one or two iconic pieces that draws attention. Lights are a good option – they are often eye-catching and can really anchor the room. We love these Louis Poulsen PH 4 pendants, but we also have a range of other mid-century lighting options – including one by Arne Jacobsen and a really impressive vintage copper bell light shade! Come in and check them out…
