Home Inspiration With Julie Carlson
German architect Egon Eiermann (1904-1970) is not as well known as other midcentury designers such as Eero Saarinen or Arne Jacobsen, but he should be. His versatile stacking SE 68 SU chair, designed for orchestral seating, is a midcentury classic, favored by the European design cognoscenti for both domestic and commercial use. Produced by German company Wilde + Spieth since the 1970s, the chair is available in a range of colors and stains, including a special edition featuring colors drawn from the Le Corbusier palette.

Kitchens With Alexa Hotz
We recently discovered the work of Blenheim Forge, three ernest dudes forging knives in a dark South London studio beneath a railway arch. The threesome, Richard Warner, Jon Warshawsky, and James Ross-Harris, were roommates in Peckham who got into knife-making by way of YouTube in 2012. Years of failed attempts, repetition, and refinement followed. Along the way, they became quite picky about their steel—a good thing—working with Japanese blue paper steel, a top-quality, low-impurity metal. Handles are handmade with hardwood foraged from customers' gardens or by an agreement with the neighborhood cemetery.
Above: A selection of Blenheim Forge knives on a magnetic knife rack. Four kitchen knives are on offer online (they do custom orders as well).

Above, L to R: The five-inch Petty paring knife is £90 ($137), the seven-inch Santoku chefs knife is £160 ($244), and the six-inch Nakiri vegetable knife is £160 ($244). Also on offer (not pictured) is the ultrathin Gyuto knife for slicing fish, meat, and vegetables; £400 ($610).

Kitchens With Margot Guralnick
Makers of some of the world's most beautiful wood flooring, Dinesen, the three-generations-old Danish company, is now applying its planks to kitchens. These designs are the work of Garde Hvalsøe, three cabinetmakers and an architect who have come up with a Dinesen kitchen series—Noma chef Rene Redzepi has one in his own home. Our favorite is the compact kitchen in Dinesen's new showroom in Copenhagen designed by Danish studio OeO. Not coincidentally, it's in the deep mossy green we predict is about to have its moment—see Interior Trends for Autumn.
Above: The galley design, conceptualized overall by OeO and created by Garde Hvalsøe, is in Dinesen's vast new headquarters at 5 Søtovet in Copenhagen. The kitchen is used for Dinesen events and private dinners. "The challenge in this small, not very wide space was to create a fully functional kitchen for two professional chefs," says Søren Aagaard of Garde Hvalsøe.
The paneling and cabinets are constructed of oak floorboards that Dinesen calls heart oak; milled from the middle of large trees, they produce exceptionally wide boards. Photograph via Dinesen.
Above: The counters are made of green marble and the sink and area around it are hand-welded brass treated with a dark stain. The drawer section closest to the window contains an industrial made-to-measure drawer refrigerator.
In the wall paneling, note the butterfly joints, a Dinesen signature used to patch natural cracks. The boards used for the cabinets and paneling are treated with Dinesen's Natural Oil. The floorboards, which are also heart oak, are treated with Dinesen's White Oil. The company sources most of its wood from Germany and explains the sustainable forestry practices of its suppliers here. Photograph via Hviit.
Above: The sink backsplash is darkened brass patinated by the lime in the water. The brass faucet is a commercial model by Danish brand Toni. "They're for use in industry and hospitals, but found in many homes in Denmark," Aagaard told us. "We took it apart and stained it." Photograph via Hviit.
Above: The range is from Electrolux's Grand Cuisine line. "A lot of appliances are labeled professional quality," says Aagaard, "in this case, it's actually true, but adapted with a more sexy interface and exterior." Photograph via Garde Hvalsøe.
Above: The long work counter is fitted with finger-jointed storage and has an Electrolux Grand Cuisine Induction Cooktop and Vacuum Sealer—for sous vide cooking and packaging food to freeze. A Fisher-Paykel Drawer Dishwasher is also concealed behind two of the drawers. The base and legs are made of raw steel and the open shelf is stained brass, fitted over the cooktop with an exhaust shelf in stained brass, a made-to-measure Garde Hvalsøe design. Photograph via Dinesen.
Above: A closeup of the welded brass shelf. Dinesen uses leftover wood to make stacks of chargers in various sizes. The walls are painted in Vineyard 61, a matte green from Flügger of Denmark. Photograph via Garde Hvalsøe.
Above: OeO says that the palette throughout the showroom was inspired by the work of turn-of-the-20th-century Danish painter Vilhelm Hammershoi. The ceiling lights are the mega version of Artemide's Tolomeo design; there's also custom LED shelf and back-of-the-counter lighting. The trash bin is a Vipp, made in Denmark. See more at Dinesen.
Go to London couturier Anna Valentine's kitchen to tour another design modeled after Vilhelm Hammershoi's paintings.
