Most things in our home is bought or made for the house, but I also have a few things from the big world. Both back from my many years in the US, but also from my amazing travels to Uzbekistan and Iran the last few years.This typical American wooden office chair I found on the street when I lived in New York, it was put out for garbage. When I found it was the white, I then spray painted it black. I actually also found an Eames fiberglass chair on the street in New York.

On the wall I have collected a little differently, top my tubeteika bought in Uzbekistan, it is a men's hat that folds completely flat together so you can put it in your pocket. I bought two used, and they are so fine embroidered. Underneath a hand-cut pressure pad I bought in Iran, since I am a textile designer I had to buy a. Below just a foil cutting Orø (Called Bugi island by me) where our house is well located and & month a mini birdhouse I've got the housewarming gift of “The small Orø workshop” that make fine birds houses on the island.

Here you can see the embroidery on my tubeteika and a little upscale pattern in the printing block.

I took many photographs in Uzbekistan, people were so sweet and imødekommende.Her men who have all tubeteika on. The hat is used because the sun is very bright. Our guide said that one SHOULD have something on his head or it would go wrong.

Uzbekistan is incredibly much crafts. We visited a well-known and award-winning ceramicist where they include. sold these small bowls that I use salt.

Fish Designs were many in Iran, so I bought two tiles which I use to put hot things on, I am in a good mood when I look at them. I love useful souvenirs, at home, half of our kitchen utensils are brought home from Japan, New York, Spain and Germany 🙂
