Through making it at home, you don't need to buy any disposable packaging that's transported several miles in big trucks. The home-made oat milk is also 5 times cheaper than in the store, with 3KR per liter! The only think you need is 3 dl oats and 1 L water. Making oat milk at home easily gets messy due to pouring the milk back and forth in different containers, and the amount of dishes for such a simple process is insane. Through straining directly in a funnel with a connectable sieve, you minimize both the number of steps in the process, and the number of dishes used https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9f218c45776e230550f095/1531944075138-4QML5YR2Z3POXZKTBRU0/Hovding Blog - Form/Design Center - Malmö https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9f218c45776e230550f095/1531942013186-X3SQLDPIXTWA17FLN9KT/S70two Blog - Form/Design Center - Malmö https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9f218c45776e230550f095/1531942358496-2FYV107QSDVETN1MUSNY/Lund Blog - Form/Design Center - Malmö https://www.levelup.furniture/blog/2018/7/18/design-museum-denmark monthly 0.5 2019-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9f218c45776e230550f095/1538600632136-X4N3JJA78AF4BV8P0DXB/Japonsim Blog - Designmuseum Denmark Danish furniture made with a Japanese aesthetic https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9f218c45776e230550f095/1538496763245-XZWKB2OUKK9XGY98L28W/hoffmann Blog - Designmuseum Denmark This chair by Josef Hoffmann exemplifies the Vienna Secession Style, which although founded on common principles to the Art Nouveau movement in France, was markedly different with its linear form and lack of organic ornamentation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9f218c45776e230550f095/1531993017579-2KW74CF93Z9QVSP12LY2/Stol%2Fchair Blog - Designmuseum Denmark The 'Anchor Chair' (2016) designed by Stein Weigelt and manufactured by FDB Møbler using FSC certified sustainable oak embodies the new emphasis on sustainability through material selection, while paying tribute to some of FDB’s chair designs from the Modern era. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a9f218c45776e230550f095/1531994019389-ECHXYJGI99PVATJIW5LU/FairChair Blog - Designmuseum Denmark The 'Fair Chair for the Future' (2006), designed by Jakob Berg, is made from sustainably harvested Bolivian ipé.

Entryway Ensemble This concept piece was designed with the New York City loft-dweller in mind. Many of the most affluent neighborhoods in New York, such as DUMBO, TriBeCa and the Meat Packing District were previously industrial areas. As the city’s economy evolved, artists began to move into the empty buildings, favoring the big windows and high ceilings for a practical work/live lifestyle. Developers subsequently sought to preserve this format, offering open-concept, white box luxury loft residences. This piece is meant to go near the entry of such a home, which often don’t have coat closets. The piece holds everything that a busy New Yorker grabs as they leave in the morning, and the first things that they put down when they return. Coats can be hung on the hanger bar that spans the top, bags can be placed on the slatted shelf, underneath which shoes can be stored. The coopered basket nested in the shelf holds an umbrella, and the drawer is a good place to empty the contents of ones pockets, where they might have keys and a money clip or wallet. The cabinet is an ideal place to leave money for the dog walker or cleaning service, and has plenty of room for doggie bags and other items. https://www.levelup.furniture/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2021-07-15 https://www.levelup.furniture/read-me daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5310cef7e4b08602cbfa36bf/1412689652885-P9TPK298WCTZU748L0SG/Lifestyle03.jpg Read Me
