Brita of Sweden

Brita Sweden is a family business with a strong tradition of textile production for many generations. Inside the brand that is great grandma’s name sake, Brita Sweden designs and produces organic fabric, kitchen accessories, plastic runners and other interior items.



If there was ever a company with a pattern-filled collection that could shake the winter blues right off of you, this is it. From their bold colors and whimsical patterns to the kooky product photography, Brita Sweden can’t help but make you smile.

Huset will soon have most of Brita of Sweden’s items online, so check back soon!

Awards Season

Its award season not only in here in Hollywood. Its everywhere. The Swedish Elle Awards took place a couple of weeks ago in Stockholm for all the Swedish fashionistas. I used to work for Elle Magazine Sweden, and this party was the biggest happening each year. My time at Elle Magazine was 1997 to 2002, and it was such a big deal, today it’s a bit different and much bigger.


The Elle awards has become the largest Swedish fashion event in Scandinavia. Take a look at this if you want to see what happened on stage. (You dont have to know Swedish to enjoy the beautiful people and creative outfits). http://elle.se/ellegalan/ellegalan2011-tva-minuter/

It’s Fashion Week in Copenhagen Again!

Its February soon which means its time for the big fashion fair in Copenhagen. I used to work for WeSc which is a Swedish street-fashion brand, and I loved going to Copenhagen twice a year to present the new line for all the buyers and meet all the sales reps from other brands and snoop around in their stands. It was always interesting to see what they come up with for that season.  All the preparations for the fashion fair is a full time job in itself. You always have questions like, “Are we getting a good stand in a great location?” “Who will our neighbors be on each side?” ” Is the sample line going to arrive in time?” and  “What about all the marketing materials?” It’s a pack …

New discovery journeys to make and mountains to climb

We envisioned a place for storytelling and play, for fantasy and travel with the mind, for children and adults alike, says Kasper Medin och Ulrika E. Engberg, designers at Little red stuga.

The challenge was to create something new and interesting around the beanbag concept, one of the world’s most appreciated and functional pieces of furniture ever designed. For this project we explored our own relationship and associations with mountains; namely Fuji, Kilimanjaro and Mount Everest. Each pattern and color is a result of our journey discovering them. At a close-up you find more details in the patterns, like climbers and base camps on Mount Everest, Kawaii figures on Fuji and tribal masks on Kilimanjaro. The height of each mountain is printed to add a pedagogical layer. Perfect for …

Meet Marita from Stockholm

Hi Everyone, my name is Marita. Every week from now on I will be a guest blogger here at Huset, which I’m very excited about. I am Swedish, but I live here in Los Angeles. I have been here in L.A. for about 5 years and I love it here for sure, the beaches and the beautiful sunlight is a big contrast to a city like Stockholm in, lets say November. The  longer I’m here in L.A. though, the more I appreciate the Swedish culture, design and food.  I guess you could say that You always miss what you don’t have, isn’t that right?

The other day, I was online looking at a new Hotel  in Stockholm and I can’t think of any better location for such a nice hotel.  …
