Emma's Mood Board

1. Nikari Workshop

On my travel wishlist: Nikari's studio and workshop, nestled in the scenic Fiskars Village of Finland.

2. N. 813 Pinus Pinea by John Derian

An aesthetically pleasing catch-all tray featuring one of John Derian's signature antique ephemera collages.

3. 1967 Pendant by Gubi

Layering warm, diffused lighting creates a sense of calm and quiets the mind.

4. Slitrya Wall Hanging

A piece from my own textile studio - woven with a hand-knotted pile technique known as Swedish Slitrya. Both the front and back are shown here, exposing the process of weaving as one of building row by row.

5. Agra Heirloom Rug by Armadillo

The Agra’s plush hand-knotted wool pile introduces a field of color to the space.

6. Arkitecture Table by Nikari

I love the idea of a table that offers a practical work surface, while also bringing an understated elegance for dining and entertaining.

7. Pirout Vase 02 by LOUISE ROE

Seasonal bouquet optional - this vase is a sculptural object in and of itself.

8. Little Petra Lounge Chair by &Tradition

The Little Petra’s soft curves mimic a welcoming embrace.

9. 9209 Table Lamp by Gubi

The decorative perforations in the brass shade create an unexpected starlit ambiance.

10. Nera Stool by Zanat

In my studio apartment I would use the Nera Stool as both a seat and an accent table - versatility is key!

As the seasons are changing, I’ve been setting the scene for a winter of slow and thoughtful creation. The pieces selected for this space harmoniously offer both form and function with plush textiles, versatile furniture, and warm lighting. A variety of mediums are covered here, including weaving, metalworking, ceramics, woodworking, and decoupage - each with a touch of the hand. My ideal retreat presents a cozy invitation for pursuing artistic inspiration and relaxation.
