Claesson Koivisto Rune is not only a fabulous Swedish design firm, but their practice extends into furniture, light fixtures, kitchen appliances and even jewelry. Instead of designing a space and giving it over to an interior designer, CKR will furnish the space with the same thoughtfulness and attention as they put into the architecture, creating a wonderful dialogue between the two.
Lesson for Today: For a few of the concept mentioned above, see the captions above the images below.
Project: Apartment With Sauna
The pictures on the left align with the door openings creating a line that reflects the windows to the right. The long table and carpet help emphasize the length of the room.
The floating credenza is accentuated by a subtle reveal in the wall that turns the corner.
The large round light fixture acts as a focal point in the room and contrasts the square shapes throughout the rest of the decor.
Project: Loft Apartment With Spa
The bed frame reflects the tie beams in the ceiling and the hard lines in the space act like lines on a white page.
The glass table and wire-frame chairs are meant to reflect the glass curtain wall beyond.
In this image, the large couches to the right are having a dialogue with the large dark fireplace and the wooden chairs reflect the wood seen elsewhere in the architecture.
Project: The Designers Home
The same wooden right angle can be seen in both the chair and the shelf beyond.

Very nice. I'll take one.
Me too! Let's built THAT house, then fill it with italla cookware!
The concept spoken of to meld the outside and inside remind me of a home I recently viewed, seemingly the ultimate in that context.
