Circus Mighetto Has Come To Town.

Ladies and gentlemen, children of all ages, welcome to Circus Mighetto! A universe of fantasy, mystery and watercolours. 

Let the magic begin...

The Flying Carnival Nobody lives in the flying tent in the clouds. At least that's what people say. At night, the tent sparkles and shines and sometimes it seems as though the sky and the tent are speaking their very own language. No one knows how to control the flying tent, nor what it's purpose is, but rumour has it that all the magic in the circus originates from it…
Our Dear Elephant.When this highly unusual baby elephant was born, he was rejected by the flock. He had strange bumps on his back, which many elephant years later turned out to be amazing wings. Magic wings that offered weightlessness and freedom. All of a sudden, the elephant was offered a place in the flock again, but he chose to stay with his new family. At the circus.  

Meet Miss Gertrude  who is no large person. In fact, Gertrude is so tiny she sleeps in the tulle of a tutu. She works in the costume department, but due to her diminutive size she is struggling to carry large bolts of fabric and lift heavy scissors. Without using magic, that is. Luckily, she is good at magic, and finds that it can solve just about any problem. Gertrude creates perfect costumes and props for the circus with seemingly endless imagination. 

Dear Lion At a fairly early age, the little lion grew a magnificent, flowing mane, with lots of shiny, golden hair that billowed in the wind. Because thick, beautiful hair looks kind of funny on a little girl, the flock decided she was simply too odd and dropped her off at the doorstep of the magic circus. Now she is the king of the circus and is happy and proud to show off her magnificent, glimmering hairstyle. Mr Otis was once an abandoned, little boy. No one had ever seen his parents, and he often woke up without a roof over his head. Otis' childhood could have been a very sad affair, had it not been for the circus. The circus saved his life. Well, maybe not the circus itself so much as friends, a feeling of solidarity and learning how to use his magical wings. 


Miss Luca was born into the circus. She often slept with the lions and played with the elephants as if they were siblings. Which, in a sense, they were. Lion siblings. She can talk to all the animals, and they can talk to her. Luca is the circus director, and there it so much power in her voice that she command the audience's attention without even trying…

I had been swooning over Playtype posters for a while, but it was only after seeing these beautifully styled room shots that I finally decided to stock the posters from the Copenhagen based type foundry.

Virtual shopping in Copenhagen

I've been mad about the Copenhagen based design studio Frama  ever since I first read about them in Rum.  So when I saw their latest project which was done in collaboration with the architect Carl Kai Rand what else could I do but to share it with you!


Check out the the herringbone marble brick floor isn't it gorgeous?

More Frama goodies ... 




Sadly I have not been able to locate a website for  Carl Kai Rand.

Swedish design talents

We all know that the cool Swedes are at the top of their game when it comes to designing furniture! Only this time I'm not thinking Ikea ...  Check out some of the amazing Swedish designs that got me swooning lately!


The "String" shelving by The architect Nisse Strinning, one of the designers who in the middle of the 20th century started what today referred to as Scandinavian design. String first came on the market 60 years ago, the white version is new though.






The minimalist "Frame" Table designed by Anya Sebton & Eva Lilja Lowenhielm. The  filing cabinet is designed by Jessica Signell Knutsson.









Staffan Holm has created this unique shelving unit that concertinas flat for Scandinavian brand One Nordic.









The Mikado cupboard is designed by Sofia Lagerkvist, Charlotte von der Lancken and Anna Lindgren  the  girls behind the Swedish design group Front.

The so striking Cocoa Eyes

The amazing cocoa eyes logo was designed by the Swedish graphic designer  Olle Eksell  for Mazetti Ögon;  a Swedish chocolate factory.  The chocolate factory has now been lovingly restored and functions as a hotel, nightclub as well as a cultural center .   

Check out the Mazetti-eyes that are evident throughout the building, as well as the poster as it is featured in various magazines!




This Cocoa Eyes poster was printed in 1999 by Olle Eksell for his exhibition at Form Design center in Malmö, Sweden, and often pops up in magazine shoots.
