It’s Fashion Week in Copenhagen Again!


Posted January 21st, 2011 by Marita 2 Comments »

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 …

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 …
