i'm loving these folk-inspired owl plates at vivre. they're $152 for a set of 4 and take their look from traditional nordic motifs. click here for more info.[ps: you'll notice that labels are now appearing on posts. they're in preparation for the new site so please excuse their presence until they're ready for the new site in september]Labels: accessories

Love them too. The illustrator behind them (http://www.klaush.com/) has a very impressive portfolio of work under his belt.
They're gorgeous. The colours work so nicely and the illustration is really beautiful. Thanks for posting the artist's link zee homebug.
Anyone know where I can buy just one of these plates / bowls / cups? I want a set for work, and at vivre you have to buy 4 of each.
Anon - www.scandinaviandesigncentre.com and www.finnishdesignshop.com both sell the Taika line by Iittala in individual pieces. Both ship worldwide too.
how sweet are these!!
I was just about to tell you that that was Klaus Haapaniemi's work, but looks like I'm late to the party! Klaus is the NICEST guy ever. I had lunch with him last month and wrote about it on my blog...

He has a whole bunch of interesting stuff coming out. Definitely one to watch!
The funniest part was that the day I met him, I told him about this really cool blog called Design Sponge. :)
Anon - we're in the U.S. and carry this line - individual pieces: http://www.finnstyle.com/taika-dinnerware.html
The design is great - It's been very popular.
So funny to see these up! We registered for them for our wedding a few months ago--you can buy individual pieces at unica, also. (That's where we found them.)
