Italiƫ - Dr. Vranjes Luxury Interior Fragrances

It was at the Frankfurter Ambiente Fair last February that I visited the boot of Dr. Vranjes.
I was immediately impressed by the magnificent scents and look of the products of Dr. Vranjes. I definitely want to add his products to my web shop. 

L'Antica Officina del Farmacista was created in Florence, in 1983, out of the passion of Dr. Paolo Vranjes, a pharmacist, chemist and cosmetologist. He creates and manufactures exclusive products which are the result of the perfect blend between meticulous innovative techniques and tireless research in tradition.

His grandfather was a silk trader with a passion for essences and as a child he watched him in the room where he kept his collection of perfumes which he searched for on his travels around the world. Dr. Vranjes's passion, together with his craftsmanship and infinite love for creating unique scents he introduces the mystery of perfume that has more power than words, appear-ance and willpower. Fragrances have the power to evoke emotions, to remind us to pleasant moments, places and situations.

The finest essential oils and natural ingredients are used and presented in handmade glass bottles. The shape of these bottles is inspired by " Il Duomo " , the main church of  Florence and the fourth largest cathedral in Europe. Classical, modern and fits in any interior.

Denmark - Lego

Although it doesn't seem so, Denmark is the least densely populated country in Northern Europe. Only 20% of the country is populated and almost 20% of the population lives in the capital Copenhagen. Denmark is known for its LEGO.

The name 'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well".

It has come a long way over the past almost 80 years - from a small carpenter’s workshop to a modern, global enterprise that is now, in terms of sales, the world’s third-largest manufacturer of toys. The LEGO Group is engaged in the development of children's creativity through playing and learning. Based on the world-famous LEGO® brick, the company today provides toys, experiences and teaching materials for children in more than 130 countries.


Legoland Billund is Denmark’s most famous and popular amusement park for families and children of all ages. More than 60 million LEGO Bricks were used to build all models in Legoland.
