Off to Tokyo with work today, for a week. When I was a travel writer/journalist continent-hopping for five years I had a pen, a notebook and a reliable Nikon analog.

Now I have a laptop, mobile telephone, flash stick, headset for mobile, two cameras (digital), headphones with ipod, USB mouse, plug adaptor for Far-East Asia, extension cord with three plugs, mobile phone charger, digicamera battery charger… am I missing anything?

The Finnish Architecture website â“ “a work in progress” â“ is a great Scandinavian architecture resource that offers various links related to Finnish architecture, such as Arkkitehtitoimisto Ville Rantane. For sure a great site to explore on a continual basis.

Notable project made by studio5, she write about it:

The project consisted in trasforming an old and empty office space
into a beauty saloon with a separate room for massages and other
treatments.
The concept for the store was a relaxing and natural envirolment, with
calm colors and simple but classic decoration.
A structural column in the middle of the window served perfectly for the logo. The huge display windows gave the idea to let the light through to the closed room by making windows on the walls that separate the lobby from the work area.

Few words about me:
I've studied interior and product design in Rome at Istituto Europeo di Design for 5 years. A year ago I came back to Sweden and in may
i started my company Studio 5 here in Västerås. Hälsofix was my
first project and I'm already working on my second, a private appartment. If there is anything else you want to know just ask!
