Welcome home! My name is Jakob Westman and I'm an illustrator / graphic designer / art director from Stockholm, Sweden.
A few years ago I made a page for a few friends who lived in the US. It was a small tour of my flat, or rather, of the stuff in it (my friend in Chicago had done something similar with his new flat in Chicago, and shared with friends and family in Sweden). Somehow, my page was picked up by someone using Stumbleupon, and suddenly it had +70K visits in a weekend. When I discovered it had "gone public" I had to change a few captions, but it's still more or less what it was that first weekend. I recently released an art book called Color Blast vol 2. I'm a huge fan of Nathan Jurevicius and when he had a gallery show in Australia last summer I was able to get my hands on three of his canvases. And here's the drawingboard/workspace with a print from Mr Ragnar and a Metropolis movie poster by Pietari Posti / Underware.
Yet another canvas. In the far back is my most recent piece. Incredible Space Maximization in a Small Studio Apartment. You’ve seen a lot of ingenious ideas on how to decorate small studio apartments on Freshome.
Here is another tiny apartment that manages to maximize space and create a cozy living environment as well. The East Village Studio Apartment comes from JPDA Architects, stretches over an area of 46 square meters (500 square feet) and was built as a little “nest” for the owners who also work here. It has all the utilities a common looking contemporary home has and dare we say a lot more. This original crib has storage space and shelves in the most unusual and unexpected places, reducing clutter and contributing to a clean and fresh interior design. The wood gives this home its warmth which is “intensified” by the friendly vegetation pots spread around the open studio.
