Squarepeg Home - mmmmm Danish furniture



Anyone who loves Danish Modern furniture needs to take a trip to Fremantle. Not only Danish classic designs but also locally made furniture contemporary furniture designed by Ben Savage. They are open on Sunday so we took a trip down to have a look at the beautiful designs.

At the back of the store there is a magic portal where you can see into the workshop where the locally made furniture is designed and made so we drooled over the machines too (well the engineer drooled, while the designer picked out what pieces would be prefect additions to our home and little 3 year old Sophie danced outside in the rain!)

So exciting to see more local workshops producing contemporary furniture and products in Perth!

SQUAREPEG HOME
17b Blinco Street, Fremantle.

Photos from the shop today






We have a lovely lady, Eleanor Jones (Year 10) on work placement this week from Perth Modern School. She is really interested in photography so we gave her the brief to take some photos of the shop today... here's what she came up with... aren't they great? She found the leaves and we lasered some letters out of them to create a display.

New magnets - coming to the Perth Upmarket!

Inspired by some writer friends we have a new magnet set. If you haven't noticed the rise in writers festivals and fringe festivals in Perth recently you should go along to Barefaced Stories happening every last Tuesday in the month at The Bird in Northbridge. Inpsired by The Moth storytelling that started in New York, different people stand up and tell true life stories without notes that usually leave you laughing or crying! More details here. Their poster features this bear too so they must be cool :)
