Where do I start? I love so many things about this room, from the Svenskt Tenn nesting tables to the cow hide rug and the chrome and glass side table which reminds me of the Pieff ones on ebay that I posted the other day!

I found this photo in a ‘Small Spaces Guide’ supplement in Elle Decoration (March 2008) and referred back to it time and again when decorating my first flat.

The perfect match… Scandinavian designs paired with classic Eames chairs just seem to be so pleasing to the eye. In the picture above the Saarinen Tulip Table and Eames DCM Chairs are tied together perfectly using a Flokati rug.

Love it!

The Yves desk is a modern interpretation of a traditional writing desk. Its straight lines are softened with curvacous details on the legs, top and side panels. The elegant walnut finish is contrasted with the hot olive green inlaid leather writing surface and matching laquered central drawer.
