Lovely Fall In The Norwegian Rain
Last month was quite a roller coaster ride for me. It was busy at work and also at home since we’re still in the settling phase in our new home. I got a lot of things to share, but never got the time to write it down.
Anyway, I’m going to start with this one: Norwegian Rain.
During the 31st of August until 10th of September, the city of Bergen had this annual design week called Raff. It was a fabulous event, but what really gave me this felt-a-jones-in-my-bones-when-you’re-touching-me sensation was the exhibit of Norwegian Rain inside a church.
Norwegian Rain is a small designer label from the rainiest city of Europe and that’s Bergen, Norway. As we all know rain and fashion doesn’t really go hand in hand. It’s a tragedy that rainwear usually comes in ugly variety. The duo behind the label, T-Michael and Alexander Helle were brilliant to come up with a hardcore functional outerwear without compromising the aesthetic value.
The clothes are just to die for. It’s beautiful and the design is modern yet classic. The garments are 100% waterproof and the fabric is just fabulous to hold. Light and breathable. I’m so going to get one as my personal Christmas present!
Check www.norwegianrain.no to know more about the label. That’s all for now!
P.S
Took another photo of our kitchen with better lighting.
+ Looks homey no?
I am loving the color scheme of your kitchen, from the curtains to the tables to the spice rack. It’s so homely, it would be so enticing to flip a pancake in it and make breakfast!
Thank you! The kitchen island is actually a temporary solution since I’m planning to build a mixture of metal and wood. Also I’m still waiting for the right tiles for the kitchen wall. But I really want it to be homey and I think I managed to make it
What a cool design! I like them very much.
Indeed and the fabric is actually from Japan!
I love this brand.
It’s minimalistic and simple.
Somehow, it also reminded me of Muji.
I love your deco.
It’s so neutral – can’t wait to see you cooking next time.
It’s simple and oh so elegant! I love it!
Thank you! Neutral and earthy
Wow, what a wonderful & trendy fall post
Thank you Renny!
what a splendid idea in the rainy city.
So true!
I hope that those jackets become more popular outside of Norway too! I cannot tell that they are raincoats because I am used to raincoats being bright and obnoxious.
That setup with the piano is beautiful and serene. It took me a couple seconds to realize that it was a fashion display.
The brand is already known in the high fashion circles as the designers were being featured in Vogue.
I really like what they did with the exhibition. It was simply magical!
BEAUTIFUL Garments!! So chic and “now” yet with a kind of classic timeless look, too…! Do take a picture of what you get for Christmas, my dear Charles…!
Timeless indeed! I will and also I will send you something from Norway soon
You are just too much, Charles. I love it!
Hahahhaha thanks
The collection and the location looks amazing!!! the clothes are very stylish
And your kitchen is lovely, glad to read you

The collection and the location is indeed amazing! I loved every moment of the exhibit
Thanks!
Are those designs inspired from the Friars? Interesting. Love the bag.. and I love your pad Charles. It looks really cozy and so welcoming. You gonna love cooking with that open kitchen you had there.
Lol!
Thank you dear! You should visit us soon and I’ll cook something
If it rained more where I am I would totally invest in that, however we get more snow than anything else so its no practical. I really do love the design though.
My favourite is the handbag in the pictures. Lovely kitchen by the way, it looks homey.
Hi Charlie,
Yes, most definitely, the clothes are to die for. Do you know if this label exports their clothes?
Your kitchen looks adorable – congratulations.
Cheers
I want your kitchen. Oh, I would be in heaven here. Seriously
I am also loving the jacket … Lovely.
Yes, rain and fashion don’t usually mix.. and it’s labels like this that stands out!
nice concept they have.
I love your kitchen! It does look homey… and natural..
wow great moments, love the unusual church theme !!
have a look at our new header&layout
Man, I would LOVE to own a stylish rain coat (we need to look good in the rain too!). Those jackets in the pictures are to die for.
Your kitchen looks lovely! I would love to see what your living room looks like
*to see what your living room looks like IN THE DAY TIME.
hehe forgot to add that in there.
Norwegian Rain is such a pretty name for a clothing label. The clothes look great, and the interior design of their boutique (or is it the interior of the design week venue?) is amazing… and this is coming from someone who is only starting to warm up to the idea of re-purposing old churches. The mason jars of water are just darling.
Glad to see your home developing well, and that your’e keeping busy in a good way! Love!
Gorgeous! Your kitchen looks lovely as well, very homely
I know you haven’t been around but I’m just popping by to see how you are!
Glorious post, Charles. and yes, your kitchen is indeed homey! you have a knack for creating spaces to live & create in! God Yul!!
oops…that was Swedish….God Jul!!
I just saw this post…I love your kitchen! Now, back to my pesky memo.
