Home Inspiration With Margot Guralnick
Founded by two downtown New York Danes, supermodel Camilla Vest and advertising creative Ricky Nordson, Goods We Love imports a small, exclusive collection of classic and contemporary Danish furniture and accessories. And "to give a sense of how we use our products," says Camilla, her own Tribeca loft—which she shares with her husband, Peder, and their young son and daughter—serves as the showroom. Come browse with us.

Above: Camilla and Ricky met in their kids' schoolyard: "You quickly spot a fellow Dane," Camilla says. "I'd been in New York for almost 20 years, and Ricky had just moved here from Copenhagen with his family, so I introduced myself. We discovered we share an interest in home design."
They founded Goods We Love a year ago, and serve as the US wholesale representatives for their goods, carefully placing them with the right retailers—not unlike, Camilla notes, "the way a modeling agent helps to build a career by accepting the right jobs."
Above: The company's best sellers are the OGK Safari Daybed and OGK Safari Chair designed by Ole Gjerløv-Knudsen in 1962 and equally at home indoors and out. They're shown here in Camilla's living area, which she pulled together with the help of her stylist sister Pernille Vest. "Scandinavian living requires a lot of time to achieve a simple yet cozy look," says Camilla. See Trend Alert: 10 Canvas Camp Cots as Instant Daybeds for sourcing. The OGK Portable Chair is $520 at the Dwell Store.
Above: A desk in the loft displays, among other things, oak tissue boxes that The Oak Men make in two sizes and a variety of finishes; send Goods We Love a query for sourcing.

Above: Signature ribbed vases by Lyngby, a revived Danish porcelain manufacturer. The vases made their debut in 1936. The Dwell Store offers Lyngby Vases in matte white and gray in three sizes, starting at $39. Black Lyngby Vases, 9.8 inches tall, are available from The Line for $136.
Above: Camilla mixes Goods We Love pieces with designs she's gathered in her world travels as a model. Here, UK-based designer (and Remodelista hero) Michael Anastassiades's Tube Chandelier hangs over a cluster of Lyngby vases.
Above: Contemporary Danish company Base212's tabletop designs: Copper, brass, and chrome bowls with marble lids and white marble Tools Candleholders. The Small Copper Bowl is $79 from Steven Alan Home (and the candleholders are available at the store, too).

Design Travel With Margot Guralnick
We've been following Swedish interior designer Richard Lindvall's work since he concocted a Stockholm Bistro that Doubles as a Museum. His latest trick? Usine, a modern French restaurant invented in a Stockholm building that had been occupied by the Swedish Tax Agency, and prior to that a sausage factory. Lindvall took the space back to its origins—usine means "factory" in French—playing with a vocabulary of humble materials recast as a luxe new rendition of industrial chic.
Photography by Mikael Axelsson; styling by Em Fexeus.
Above: The 2,000-square-foot space, formerly a warren of tiny rooms, underwent a yearlong transformation. It's now a combination bistro, bar, and cafe. Shown here, the main restaurant with marble-topped tables, bistro chairs, and industrial pendant lighting. (Find industrial lighting sources here, including Rubn of Sweden and Trainspotters in the UK.)
Above: A corner that Lindvall describes as having "an orangerie feeling" features old garden furniture, an olive tree, and an outsized industrial pendant light.
Above: Usine showcases a high/low materials palette, from galvanized steel to cognac leather and custom maple millwork.
Above L: Stoneware plates with a textured glaze. Above R: Lindvall reports that 48 tons of concrete were used in the remodel—"not only for the floors but also to construct the two bars, reception desk, a large sofa table, and more."
Above: The bar area is lit by steel pendant lights and neon bars that draw the eye in. The footrests are made of iron piping.
Above: Cage-like perforated steel sheeting is used as a cornice over the bar. See 7 Favorites: Minimalist Brass Lights for similar hat-shaped pendants.
Above: A niche next to the bar is put to work as intimate seating: a custom raised leather banquette and Tolix stools.
Above: The water station and shelf are built from Valcromat, a colored MDF, detailed with a vintage copper sink and modern copper tap.
Above: An expansive concrete trough sink in a multi-doored black-and-white bathroom. For more details, go to Usine.
