The sweet doggy patterns that you see below are from the Tillsammans collection and shows dachshunds from around the world, with hats and hairstyles to symbolize different nationalities.
It was created for a very special purpose: Lisa Bengtsson, one of Sweden’s most prominent designers, recently developed a new collection of wallpaper, textiles and posters exclusively for Save The Children. The products are available only in their design shop.

When buying these products, you are supporting a worthwhile cause – to protect and save little ones against violence and sexual assault and to invest in their future by ensuring that they receive a proper education.
“I think that it is fun and rewarding to work with Save the Children. When I received the request, there was no doubt but only joy. I like to do what I can to help, and what I can is to design… So why not do it for Save the Children!” – Lisa Bengtsson



Huset now has in stock the Tillsammans Wallpaper and the lovely dachshunds posters. Come check them out!

The world-famous designer Jasper Morrison has always been fascinated by Danish design. His work has often been described as more Scandinavian than British in spirit, so its no surprise to hear that he has answered a call to curate and stage an exhibition on Danish design in Copenhagen’s Design Museum in Denmark. Danish Design – I like it! is an external and international look at Danish design and the exhibition marks the change of name from the Danish Museum of Art & Design to Design museum Denmark.


“Morrison’s viewpoint has culminated in a selection of pieces that work to embody the classic and humane qualities that make up Danish design – a process he reveals to be more complex than initially anticipated. ‘It is a very condensed selection – you’ve probably notice how jammed everything is’, he explains, ‘On the first day when we started, I was a bit worried we wouldn’t have enough stuff, but by the end, we were just pushing things in and just moving things around, trying to squeeze them all in’.” – Wallpaper

You can visit the exhibition until October 2nd 2011.

Scandinavian design began in the early 1900′s but gained wider recognition (and approval) in the 1950′s. The goal of this design movement is simple… to design beautiful, minimalistic pieces that are as wonderful to use as they are to look at.

They also sought to design pieces that could be mass produced as cheaply as possible without sacrificing quality. With strong “post-modern” ideals, the Scandinavian designers looked for ways to make their designs affordable for all… not just the wealthy and influential.

Scandinavian Design really flourished between 1951-1970 as a result of the “Lunning Prize.” The Lunning Prize was created to acknowledge excellence in Scandinavian design and was given to two outstanding Scandinavian designers each year. This helped to bring Scandinavian design into the limelight and worldwide sales rose sharply as a direct result.

Today, designers find recognition from a variety of awards including the Forum AID Award given out by Swedish Magazine, Forum AID. The award is available to all Nordic designers and not just those from recognized Scandinavian countries.

While Scandinavian design concepts have been debated for more than fifty years, much of the original design ideals have stood the test of time. In fact, many International designers are now embracing the ideals and it isn’t uncommon to see “Scandinavian-like” designs coming out of Asia and Europe.

The future for Modern Scandinavian Design is exciting and we at Huset-Shop.com can’t wait to see what’s yet to be revealed!

Many top Scandinavian designers like, Harri Koskinen, Ole Jensen, Louise Campbell, Norway Says (among many others) have designed for Muuto and more are accepting the challenge.

Yummy is all we can say about the new hot summer colors coming our way from Swedish watch sensation Triwa!


Triwa presents their upcoming colorful and elaborate Miami Deco watch collection. The collection is available in two models, with five colorways to each model, and the introduction of a brighter theme from what we’ve seen in the past from Triwa. As usual, you can expect top-notch functionality and durability of a Triwa watch with an added vibrant tone.

Recently Elle Sweden had Princess Madeleine on the cover wearing the Rose Gold Chronograph which Huset will be carrying in the coming weeks. Triwa has taken Sweden by storm and now huset (the only retailer in the U.S. to carry them), will be receiving these wonderfully fun and bright new styles. Do you recognize this Victoria’s Secret Angel?

She’s wearing another one of our favorites soon to hit the shop, the Greystone Chrono.
Triwa recently put up a wonderful display in Central Station in Stockholm, we love the pics!
