Stockholm Fashion Week

Sweden’s greatest designers present their autumn/winter 2010 collections in Stockholm this week. Since its inception in 2005, the Fashion Week by Berns catwalk has grown its slate to support nearly forty Scandinavian design houses twice annually, with the primary focus being to attract the international fashion community of press and buyers to Swedish and Scandinavian design.

“Fashion Week by Berns is without doubt Stockholm’s finest event” says Christian Lippich, designer of the Men’s collection at Tiger of Sweden, in King Magazine, November 2008.

Johan Linsten shows at Stockholm’s Design Week

One of the most interesting young Scandinavian designers today is Johan Lindstén from Sweden. He participates in Stockholm Design Week this week, which is an exhibition under the name Check In 10, which refers to the 10 young designers who are “checked in” and exhibits at Hotel Birger Jarl in Stockholm.

Johan Lindsténs design is conceptual in style, and is based on an interpretation of an ancient occupation, embroidery. Under the name Dream about an idyllic place… Johan Lindstén has made a series of chairs where the upholstered backrest of the chairs all have a wonderful embroidered scene sewn on. In this way he gives historical and cultural narratives on each chair.

News from Stockholm Furniture Fair

RVW is a new Swedish furniture manufacturer founded by designers Jonas Nordgren and Johannes Herbertsson who grew tired of the fast paced design business and decided to take matters into their own hands. RVW stands for consistency and condemns trends and hype in order to produce furniture that has no expiration date.
Based in Malmö in the southern part of Sweden, RVW works closely with suppliers in the Öresund region and Småland to produce their furniture. Besides breathing life in local artisanship, they also pay homage to Scandinavias design heritage.?“We see it as something self-explanatory to continue on the Scandinavian design heritage and to produce something specific from the library of materials, ideas and forms crafted over centuries,” says Johannes Herbertsson.

It was wedding time at Formex, real Swedish royalty glamour!

When visiting Stockholm’s Formex Gift show last week, we were struck by all the “hoopla” over Crown Princess Viktoria and her boyfriend Daniel Westling’s upcoming wedding. The royal event will happen in June (of course!) and all of Sweden is awaiting with much anticipation. At Formex there was plenty of vendors which were showing their official wedding collection of products to retailers throughout Sweden. We couldn’t help ourselves in getting a little excited too. All of these products were specifically designed and made for the Crown Princess and her man, and it was the first time that any of these products were shown.
