4. Barn owl by iittala from Skandium
‘And if anyone knows anything about anything’, said Bear to himself, ‘it’s Owl who knows something about something’ he said, ‘or my name’s not Winnie-the-Pooh’, he said. ‘Which it is..’
The name came first. Then, happening upon the wonderous Places and Spaces store at design junction in London last month, owl was discovered. The appellation behind my blog. Wise old owl now sits high up (out of Henry’s grasp), master of all he surveys.
London was added later to the title, as it is where I draw much of my inspiration. London, with a European flavour, perhaps, in particular Scandinavia. A design sourcebook from London with a European sensibility.
