Pappelina Plastic Rugs…

Great News!!!

Next Pappelina order will be place Monday the 10th of October. I can not express how much I love these and how great I think they are. I have one in my kitchen and I have spilt a lot on it and not a stain, they are easy to clean, put them in the washing machine or as my grandmother does, just rinse them in the bathtub. She bought hers in the 60’s and they are still going strong. Since we have a little one I have plenty of babywipes around, super easy to just wipe up when I make a mess.

Pappelina stands for simple and functional designs of high quality. The idea of weaving in plastic started in 1948 but then reinvented in 1999 by Pappelina. Pappelina is a company that works with interior design, with all stages from idea to the development of the new product. Their hallmark is quality and function, they believe that simplicity lasts in the long run. During the years the Pappelina brand have grown strong within Sweden and is also reaching markets all over the world. In their selection you will find both graphic and simple patterns, as well as organic and soft shapes in well chosen colours for a modern home.

Where would you use them? Well anywhere you like. I have one in my kitchen and  have my eye on a white Svea for Stina’s room because I think the softer weave is so nice to step on. But I am also tempted by a colourful Viggo with stars. Emma has a small Vera One in her bathroom (I know she is very happy with hers). They are very soft under your foot and don’t really move around once you put them down. I would happily recommend a Pappelina rug for your bathroom, kitchen, dining room, hallway, nursery or even outside.

It has started!

Cult Design is all about mix and matching after your own taste and space, and it is such a great gift.

Saturday was a busy morning while Emma and I got everything out in the shop. It is a joy to see our shop being filled up with new designs and great new products as well as all our favourites…

Monday was a very busy day for me, we had two deliveries at the same time, the shop has a new look with lots of new cushions by Linum and more designs from Sagaform. Today KG Design will arrive with flower coasters, since we have plenty being ordered by customers you better hurry before they are all gone again.

I am looking forward to go into the shop every morning now and am exciting to see what will arrive this week, lots of lovely things for my home I hope:) Have a good week and see you soon. Charlotte x

There is a bit of excitement going on here at Spektakulär, we are preparing for Autumn and also for Winter (I hate to say it but Christmas is not far away), new products are being ordered and next week is the first arrival. I love deliveries, they make me so happy and I just love seeing new designs and love mixing and matching products around in the shop.

First up is Linum, a cushion delivery only this time, but with lots of gorgeous new colours and designs.

Here are two lovely images from Linum with their new cushions that we will receive next week, am so looking forward to be in the shop awaiting the delivery next week!!!

I’ll post some more pictures once we’ve unpacked the shipment and are sure what has really been delivered.  Have a lovely week and stay warm.

Autumn news…

On By SpektakulärIn NewsLeave a comment

It is the beginning of September and when I walked to the shop yesterday I did noticed that the leaf are starting to change colour, oh what a shame that the Summer just never seemed to arrive this year. Well I hope it will be a fantastic Autumn instead. I do enjoy the Autumn, the colours are amazing, the air will be fresh and the feeling after a long walk is inspiring. I dig out all the thick quilts and it is time to lit up a few candles at night which I love.

It is time for a bit of a change in the shop so during September you will notice a lot of new products and designs in the shop. I can not believe that in two weeks we have been open a year.  A year go I was heavily pregnant, getting ready to set up my dream, a small Scandinavian shop with designs I love and I believe will make a home feel more loved. Also very excited but a bit terrified of having a baby, and at the same time as well. Well it worked out quite alright, but it sure has been a busy year with a lot of ups and downs, and to be honest I am still learning.

If you have been into the shop you will have most likely been greeted by Emma, our Australian girl who has been here full-time. She is now taking a new direction in life and is going back to school, so from now on she will be here at Saturdays, Lisa the Swedish lady is in as normal on Wednesdays and our newest member of staff is Beata, also Swedish. New as well is that on Mondays and Tuesdays you will meet me in the shop, so do pop in and see us, we love to help if you are looking for a gift or just would like to treat yourself with some lovely Scandinavian designs.

Have a great week and I am looking forward seeing you soon.
