This home in Elle Decor really caught my eye. I'm big on Typography in homes. And this home is really all about that. So much typography, that too all neat & yet it isn't an overkill. Kenneth Kvarnstrom, choreographer and artistic director for the House of Dance in Stockholm whose home this is said "I'm quite a minimal person, so I just wanted to create a simple functional living space that was easy to clean"
"Frames images are simple pieces of text found by Kenneth. "Framing them individually and in squares is an easy way to create a big feature out of small details." wow, neat.
"As Kenneth travels frequently, he has created an easy access system to store his maps, money and tickets out of tins he picked up in a NewYork Flea Market."
"While on tour Kenneth and his colleagues compete to find the cheapest 40's and 50's style vases. Featured here are some of his favourites"
"Kenneth's fondness for street signs is evident in these old french ones he found in Paris. "
"The walls and the floor of the kitchen have been painted white by Kenneth. "I call it my light therapy room. It puts me in a good mood while I eat my breakfast". An enormous Kryptonite clock (almost a metre in diameter) dominates the cooking area.

Vineeta, I'm back to rejoice in your blog. Everytime I come here, I'm reminded of summer, mangoes and a cool cool breeze:-) The all-brass kitchen in Munna Kasliwal's farmhouse, is to die for. Btw, I tried getting your email id, but not possible. Can you drop me a 'Hi' at apednekar76@gmail.com? Thanks, A
What terrific decor. It certainly has a 'man's style' as opposed to most homes where a woman's touch is evident.
very unusual. i just wish there were more pics.
i just made it budget friendly !--
Wrote on the wall ! i do not know if that is called type. nevertheless i feel fantastic after writing on the wall !
Thanx Aparna!
Priya, I wish there were more pictures in Elle, I would have posted them. I just LOVED this home!
Anrosh, I suddenly want to see your home!! :) But if you feel it will be interesting please do send me pictures of your 'writing on the wall' :)
Vinnie I'm a huge fan of typo. I LOVE IT. muah! Maybe I'm a little biased cos i'm a writer. :)Infact, many months ago you posted an article on typo in the home and i can't tell you how many times i visited that page. This one will definitely find a space in my home ...that is when i can afford to own one:) Great find.
