Maria Dahlgren

The career of Swedish Designer, Maria Holmer Dahlgren, began at the internationally-renowned Swedish stationary company, Ordning & Reda. Maria co-founded Ordning & Reda and designed for them for 18 years. Other achievements include being commissioned to design the interior graphics for Stockholm’s stylish boutique hotel “Rival,” owned by ABBA’s Benny Andersson.

Maria now has her own thriving design company, Metagram. She designs a variety of contemporary trays and other pieces aimed at the high-end tourist market, and currently sells them in places such as Stockholm’s “Moderna Museet” gallery.

Of her work, Maria says…

“…There’s beautiful art all around us, if we just open our eyes to it.”

We couldn’t agree more and know you love Maria’s designs and the quality of her products.

Is this a wonderful mix or what? Odd Molly clothes and the cast of Twilight (the much anticipated sequel New Moon is due to be released one week from tomorrow, Nov. 20th)! So many have been bitten by the Twilight frenzy, so Self Magazine asked three of the film’s favorite undead hotties to show off the coziest and coolest looks for fall. Check out the November issue of SELF, on sale now, for the whole story.But first, take a peep at Self’s gorgeous photoshoot showing autumn knits, the Cullens and Victoria. ?You will see Rachelle La Fevre (Victoria) wearing the Odd Molly #823 Alpaca poncho chalk and Odd Molly’s #57 A-one silk short dress.
