Japandi design at this Swedish mountain cabin

The Japandi design of this cabin takes off the grid stays to a completely new level. In the Asberget mountains, at about 3 hours drive from Stockholm, the Bergaliv landscape hotel offers a highly unique cabin design that blends austerity with refined comfort. Japanese design meets Scandinavian minimalism is one of the 2021 trends to watch and this cabin is an excellent example.

The Lofthuset, designed by architect Hanna Michelson, stands 33 feet tall and is constructed in two 140 square foot stories. The lower room is a sheltered room with basic modern-day comfort; the top room is a lookout deck with an incredible view over the valley. The interior is minimal with raw materials such as plywood, yet offers some warm touches through the natural stone details and custom made ceramics. The cabin design finds an original blend between Nordic and Japanese interiors. The mattress is attached to a wooden frame that can easily be hung to the wall, freeing up space during the daytime.

Currently, Bergaliv Landscape Hotel is constructing a second cabin in the same Japandi design aesthetic, which will be slightly larger to accommodate families. We highly recommend booking a small retreat at Bergaliv; the surroundings are so serene that you will absolutely feel reborn upon check out.

Talk Carpet Magazine Issue 20: China

It is no secret that Paris has been the capital of fashion since the seventeenth century. The city has been the playground for prestigious designers and couture brands like Chanel, Dior, and Saint Laurent. Today the Parisian style is not only an aesthetic choice but a philosophy. It embraces elegance, timelessness, and slow responsible fashion. The focus is on the cut and the quality of the materials. No fluff or excessiveness with a less is more approach. And what better way to understand Parisian fashion than to visit a museum dedicated to it.

For more than 70 years, the house has been crafting magical couture pieces in their atelier at 30 Avenue Montaigne in Paris. Christian Dior has made this location a legendary address since the first collection in 1947. Behind its new flagship, the House of Dior inaugurates a permanent exhibition in an extraordinary gallery, independently of its boutique. Mr. Dior wanted to be an architect; the building and the museum pay him a beautiful tribute today.

The staging is astonishing. A circular staircase at the entrance showcases 452 dresses and 1,422 accessories, all 3D printed. Bags, shoes, perfumes, and small objects: so many testimonies of the Dior style materialized to elaborate this Diorama.
