Vintage by NINA


Atelier de Campagne is proud to
announce that we have been chosen
to be the North American
distributors of Nina Hartmann's book
Vintage by Nina.



Nina Hartmann is an internationally known stylist of interiors and purveyor of vintagetreasures and objets d'art. For the past eight years, Nina has run the vintage and antiques shop  vintagebynina.com and has a show room in Sweden.Nina's style, love for design and unique items of the past have made her one of the most talked about and respected figures of design and style in Scandinavia. 




After the publication of this book, which is a harmonious collaboration with Swedish photographer Maria Isabel Hansson, Nina is quickly becominga household name in the international world of design.  Maria Isabel's camera and lighting details capture the essence and small nuances of Nina's unique style.Together they have given life to a sublime book of vintage style design.Johan met Nina during one of his buying trips through the antique fairs of Franceand in conversation discovered that she was the author of a bookhe had recently admired. Johan was already impressed by the artistry of the book, and also became impressed with Nina's personality.



 Recently, knowing that we export antiques and vintage treasures from Europe to the United States, Nina approached Johan with the idea of bringing some her books to the U.S. Even though, the book at the time was not in English,but in Norwegian , Johan knew that as they say "A picture speaks a thousand words."and that our customers would get over the language barrier and "listen" to Maria's photosas their beauty translated Nina's love for design. And now, we have been invited topromote and distribute Vintage by Nina in its English version. So now, you will be able toenjoy both the photos and the text as the book is being translated into English as we write this and will be available this early fall.



The book has already been sold all around the world and is now coming to the U.S. in its English version. Both Nina's and Maria's work have been published in design magazines internationally. We are sure you are familiar with some of the images as they are avidly shared in the social media vehicles such as Pinterest, Facebook, etc. 





This book is one that we are sure will transcend time and design styles, and in our opinion its sui generi; unique, fresh, bold at times and yet feminine, clean. The book contains 160 beautiful and provocative pages which inspire dreams in its readers and invokes the interior design muse of those who leaf through its pages.



 When you open the book, you feel enveloped by Nina's universe of carefully selected collections of rare findings, old body forms, weathered animal toys, framed old documents, angel wings, and so much more. 



100% of the items in the photographs are real vintage. Items that alonecould be considered common, but mixed in with her style become beautiful.You will imagine yourself strolling along with Nina as she gathers all these treasures in the flea markets and antique fairs in Europe and brings them to her home 


And you can visualize Nina as she thoughtfully and delicately finds the perfect place for each new find as she createsan ambiance opening magical windows to the beauty of the past. The vintage world where Nina's design heart resides.

Spring Container Sale: ENCORE!!!



Whew! We've had a couple of pretty exciting weeks! 
First there was the exhilaration and nervousness about 
receiving our container on time from Europe so we 
could plan our bi-annual Container Unloading Sale. 
Then there was the actual unloading which happened 
the day before the sale was scheduled. 
We normally get a few days to plan and set up but 
the container was delayed and we didn't want to 
change the dates. It was a bit nerve-racking but it all worked out 
and we had a great event. 




Unfortunately for some, our event had to take place during 
Easter weekend, so there were several people who, due to family 
gatherings and such, could not come. 
For those who couldn't attend, and those who would like to return, 
we are having an "open garden," Encore/Take Two event 
this Saturday April 28 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.






It was so nice to meet many of you and to see some familiar faces. 
Some of you who read our blog and other Facebook and 
Pinterest friends and followers. Thank you so much for your presence. 
We would also like to thank our friends who blogged 
about our event or posted on their Facebook walls and pages. 
If you know of others who might like our style, let them know!
