Hopefully there will be something for every budget in this selection of my current favourites!
I've recently stumbled across Design House Stockholm. These are the kings of Scandinavian style for people with a bit more money than those who shop at Ikea! (Not that I'm dissing Ikea in any way, it's still my favourite shop.)
Here are a select few from their website that are available in the European Union:
This is The Box Light, retailing at 265 Euros
(Bulb included!)
These are a great light for any room. I would choose to use them on side tables but they would look equally lovely as a statement light on a dining table.
This is the Work Lamp in silver.
Retailing at 169 Euros
It's absolutely beautiful and would suit any desk. Although, it would look best on a lovely black wooden desk with an iMac!
The Whale Tong
Retailing at 60 Euros
This is a lovely piece for a salad set, really elegant lines and perfect for any organic styled kitchen.
Rondo Jug
Retailing at a very low 27 Euros!
I love the clean design of these and how cheap they are too! They would look incredible in any kitchen or even as a coffee pot out on the terrace!
Matching Salt and Pepper dispensers
Retailing at 17 Euros
Lle-Dom vases.
These are absolutely beautiful, bright glass vases that will completely transform any kitchen. These would look best in an all white or an all black kitchen.
See the rest of the collection here http://www.lle-dom.com/index.html
Sonicnyc clocks and lighting.
This is sonicnyc's beautiful vertical modern wall clock. This comes in 9 colours including my favourite, this lime green.
Retailing on their website at $98
The Lost Cuckoo Clock
Retailing on the Sonicnyc website at $110.
Designed by The award-winning designer Klaus Rosburg. Made in New York City.
Hanger Light.
Retailing at $750
Again designed by Klaus Rosberg this has been created by using clear coathangers. This isn't the kind of light I would usually be drawn to but the use of such a every day material to create such an extraordinary piece of design has made me in awe of this designer and the work he does.
I could easily see this hanging in a lovely lofty hallway, being the talking point of every guest who enetered!
Chilewich Pet Mats.
Found at http://www.chilewich.com
These both retail at only $35!
I'm completely in love with these and, as being an animal fanatic myself and having my own pets these are on my "To buy right now" list. These are made from the Chilewich signature basketweave woven flooring to go under those messy food and water bowls.
Scandinavian grace
Cosy Candle
This beautiful candle holder will set you back a fairly hefty $175 but isn't it gorgeous?
This incredible molten gold will suit almost any room in almost any house. You can't say you wouldn't like one if you could afford one!
At the other end of the price spectrum is Still Life Skull Votive.
This retails at just $35 and although being rather alternative would look glorious in an all white bathroom or kitchen table. This is 100% blown glass.
Dust Pan and Broom
Retails at $30
This dust pan set combines two of my favourite things when it comes to kitchenware, style and usefulness.
This is the best looking dust pan set I've seen in this price range. This comes in Black, Light Grey and Dark Grey, I'd get one now!
Plus Spice Mill
Retails at $79
This lovely bright lacquered beech spice mill is the nicest looking one of it's kind that I've ever seen. It puts that playful spin on kitchenware that the Scandinavians do best.
Mingus Pitcher
This is the epitome of style over cost. If you've got the money you've got to buy it, but at $200 it's a bit of a push for me to try and fight it's corner. Don't get me wrong, it's stunning, but maybe a little too much for what it's worth.
Nika Zupanc
Although I can't tell you where you can purchase these items, or how much for, I can't resist showing you them as they are just incredible!
Black Cherry Lamp
Lolita Lamp
Modesty Sofa
Tapisserie, sofa in c-minor
Konstantin B, Toy car
Boris, Vladimir, Alexander cradles
Studio Lilica
Cake

This is beautiful, Lilica specialise in lightform sculpture and I'm not the tiniest bit disappointed by any of their designs, but this has to be my favourite!
Twirly
Price and Specs on enquiry.
Sushi Sconce
Price and Specs on enquiry.
As I said at the beginning of this post Ikea is my favourite shop. There are many, many designers I love and follow avidly but it doesn't mean there's always many things I can and/or want to buy from them, whereas there is always many many things I want and can afford to buy from Ikea.
