Spook House Autumn collection

ENG: Great to be home again! All the dolls have behaved well too!
Karl Edo, having been busy in his shop, was eager to show me the new Spook House Autumn collection. He was as proud as a five-year-old who has just lost his first front tooth that he had managed to get hold of one of Anninas rare sofas! Eames elephants in plywood were also among his new acquisitions. Hmm, apparently steel and natural colours is the thing this autumn.

NOR: Godt å være hjemme igjen! Alle dukkene har oppført seg bra også!
Karl Edo har hatt det travelt i butikken og var ivrig etter å vise meg høstkolleksjonen i Spook House. Han var så kry som en femåring som akkurat har mistet sin første tann, fordi han hadde klart å få tak i en av Anninas sjeldne sofaer. Eames elefanter i finér var også blant nyervervelsene. Hmm, det går visst i stål og naturfarger denne høsten.




Credits: Charles Eames Elephant by Reac, sofa by Annina, Lego windowframe-shelves, tables are building blocks, the lamp is made out of a bead and a Lundby lampshade, the vase on the table is also a bead. The metal stools and side table are door knobs. George Nelson ball clock by me, hanging moon-lamp by Cocco, other furniture and accessories are mainly Re-ment.

Having a ball!


ENG: At last Karl Edo has got the chair of his dreams, the Eero Aarnio ball chair!
He immediately decided that it was a perfect chair for watching TV.
Here he is with the remote control in his hand and a bottle of wine and some snacks within reach. He even got a new table and a matching wall unit for the TV. When I expressed some slight concern about how he could earn any money at all from Spook House, taking so much of the shop's furniture for himself, Karl Edo reassured me and said he likes to use his new house as a showroom, since the shop is so small!


NOR: Endelig har Karl Edo fått drømmestolen sin, Eero Aarnios kule kulestol! Han fant med en gang ut at den var den perfekte TV-stol!
Her ser du ham med fjernkontrollen i hånda og en flaske med god vin og litt snacks ikke langt unna! Han har også skaffet seg nytt bord og en matchende TV-seksjon. Da jeg uttrykte en viss bekymring for om Spook House kunne gå i pluss i det hele tatt når han stadig vekk tar med møbler hjem, beroliget Karl Edo meg og sa at han liker å bruke det nye huset sitt som showroom, siden butikken er så liten!
Credits: Eero Aarnio ball chair by Reac, George Nelson Ball clock by me, the table and wall unit by me, made out of Lego, the TV is Lundby, other accessories are Lundby, re-ment, beads and stray finds.

Spook House revisited

ENG: This is Spook House with it's current inventory. Much of the furniture from the Spook House opening is already sold and replaced, amongst them the "pastil" chairs, bought by both Nora and Carol Line for their children and with the taste of his best customers in mind, Karl Edo has replaced them with even more red leather.

NOR: Her er Spook House med sitt nåværende utvalg møbler. Mange av møblene fra åpningen er allerede solgt og erstattet med nye, bl.a. "pastil"-stolene, som både Nora og Carol Line har kjøpt til ungene. Og med smaken til sine beste kunder i mente, har Karl Edo erstattet dem med enda mer rødt lær.

Credits: Red leather chairs are vintage Lundby, low shelf from Lundby. Black table is made of lego and so is the base of the lamp, George Nelson ball clock and round table is also selfmade, Reac Eames chair, other furniture and accessories are mostly by Re-ment. Moon lamps and Spook House bags by Cocco. The art is "Red abstract, nr. 5" by Victor Pasmore
