Changing Seasons, New Projects to Share

A summer well spent

It’s been a minute! As we’ve swiftly entered September, I have to admit this year has flown by. The year kicked off with a major workplace project, and now that it’s successfully wrapped up and handed over to the client, I’m thrilled to dive back into Studio Haslund and round out the year with a renewed focus on space, form, and texture.

Summer was filled with travel, fresh inspiration, and exciting new milestones. From design pilgrimages in Copenhagen to hands-on floral artistry, here is a look at what’s been inspiring my work lately across Los Angeles, London, and beyond.

3 Days of Design: Copenhagen Musings

June brought me back to Copenhagen for 3 Days of Design—an absolute anchor in my calendar every year. There is nothing quite like being in the city during this week: the energy is always sophisticated and inspiring , and it’s a brilliant opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, meet new designers, and explore what my key partners are creating.

A few standout moments from this year’s festival

  • New Works: Masterfully blended contemporary aesthetic with old-world architectural charm inside their villa-style showroom.

  • Showroom Highlights: Kvadrat, Carl Hansen & Søn, and Audo Copenhagen all opened their doors to debut stunning new collections that balance functionality with tactile warmth.

Copenhagen always leaves me full of creative ideas to bring back to client projects in LA.

Brand Focus: Ferm Living & Louise Roe

Two brands I turn to time and again for finishing touches are Ferm Living and Louise Roe.

Both design houses excel in Danish-designed glassware and ceramics that bring incredible depth to table setups and interior styling. Ferm Living has also expanded seamlessly into furniture and lighting over recent years, adopting a softer, organic aesthetic that feels tailor-made for light-filled California homes while retaining that crisp Scandinavian sensibility.

The Art of Ikebana: Blending Japanese & Scandinavian Aesthetics

Florals have always been an essential element of my styling toolkit, whether anchoring a residential shoot or setting the mood for a creative gathering. Over the summer, I completed my official certification in the art of Ikebana, the traditional Japanese practice of floral arrangement that emphasizes line, balance, and intentional negative space.

Scandinavian and Japanese design traditions share a deep resonance: both honour natural materials, subtle textures, and functional elegance (a style often referred to as Japandi). Bringing this refined approach to flower arrangement into my event and styling feels like a natural evolution, and I’m looking forward to weaving these principles into upcoming client projects this autumn.
