My small friends....

I have been working with my small monsterfriends....

Once again-a very interesting exibition at 2121designsight!

Once again this designmuseum are setting up a very interesting exebition. The exebition feels very modern and interactive. Both me and Theodor(my son, 5 years old) was very amused with what we saw and what we could interact with. The same with the great exebition "Future beats in Japanese Contempary art"show on the Mori Art musem at the Roppongi building. Amazing also. See info further down.

Some info about the water exebition at 2121designsight:
'Water' curated by Taku Satoh
How can design provide a useful tool with which to navigate our social and natural surroundings? A team of individuals from a wide spectrum of fields examined many of the ways in which humans and water intersect. The goal of this exhibition is to offer the visitor an all-encompassing sensory experience using design as a medium through which to offer a new perspective upon water.

The Mori Art Museum:
“Roppongi Crossing” is a series of exhibitions produced by the Mori Art Museum to introduce Japanese creative talent working in a wide range of genres. The first in the series was held in 2004 – and is to this day used as a reference point for contemporary Japanese visual culture. For “Roppongi Crossing 2007” four curators focused on the idea of 'intersection,' selecting 36 artists whose work has an energy and sphere of influence that spreads beyond the confines of conventional artistic categories.

Japanese women out for Sunday walking...nice outfits....

Today I just ad some of my photos from Sunday in the parc. It is nice to watch the japanese women in their kimonos...and I must say that I am totally fashinated of all the modern houses I see...

I just love this japanese artist-mizue hirano!!

I just happend to see the work by this marvellous, amazing and inspirering japanese artist. I am looking for more...

Nice products from a UK based designer with swedish roots.

I really like the work from the designer Sandra Isaksson. She has swedish roots but now works from the UK. She is a graphic designer and illustrator and in her creative studio she works with pattern design for textile, wallpaper and print as well as book design, corporate identity and illustration. You can see more of her work at www.sandraisaksson.com.

Mmmmmmm....a day to think....about choosing the right thing to do...

... I just happend to be in the wrong context... so I discovered how important it is to do the right decisions...to do what you are good at...maybe that is to learn about yourself...
Playing with "modellera" can somethimes be very relaxing and fun, and good for my little son to train his "fingerfärdighet"-(fine motor)....he has to train a lot says his teacher to be able to write his ABC as good as possible...

I found a pair of golden shoes...

...oh, I am really happy for my new golden shoes...and today when I was walking along Omondesando I saw my friends-my soft toys (for IKEA) in a window to a art gallery!
What a surprice to see them in there. Seems to be a galleri for artists with focus on children...illustrators for kids books, I asume...Fun anyway to see something familiar in this unknown world.

Some small but important things that I found today...

Small old japanese figures in wood that I found in a streetsale. I think they are so nice....and I also found the book about wabi-sabi for designers, poets and philosophers...its really interesting. I think I will learn a lot about japanses thinking and philosophy....good reading for me.
I also found a nice cafe in MidtTown on the third floor-the idée shop and parc cafe...wasnt really a parc to see, but ecoeating and really nice things like small monsters and beautyful textile...

Naka Meguru- a nice place to stroll around...

This area is really nice. Its a green area, both ecogreen and green of trees. This is the indiearea of Tokyo....lots of ecoeating and yogaclubs...

a really relaxed atmosphere and nice restaurants and bars...the evening must be amazing here...I have just been here during daytime.
Its here you find vintage shops...I will go around here and discouver all the secondhand shops for furniture.

Tomorrow I will cover up Ginza....

Tokyo is filled with amazing books showing French and scandinavian style... and when I am not shopping nice books I am working...
