She is a friend, a fellow Scandinavian, a dancer and a talented clothes designer. Marina works from home and as soon as you walk in the door it’s obvious that you’ve entered the house of a designer; creativity, ideas and stories just seems to have made themselves at home – just like her favorite vintage pieces that have traveled a long way from the family home in Sweden.

The beautiful leather rocking chair is one of the vintage pieces Marina has brought from Sweden.

Marina’s partner is a graphic designer and musician and while Marina’s collection has taken center stage in the house, music plays an equally important part in their lives.

The work space is well organised; Scandinavian design and functionality at it’s best.

The collection of La Petite Nina is made from start to finish here in Marina’s studio.

The woman behind the clothes: Marina has lived in Brussels for 10 years and the collection is a combination of influences from her homeland Sweden and from the bohemian-chic street style of Brussels.

The kitchen and dining area has a beautiful view to the private garden.

The wooden cupboard is made by Marina’s grandfather and therefore priceless.

The little vintage cabinet serves as a work station for those days that the designer needs to spend behind the computer.

Thanks for the visit Marina, always a pleasure. And you dear reader can visit her Etsy Store HERE.
