Pics From My Latest Scandinavian Shopping Spree
Posted August 24th, 2011 by holly@huset No Comments »
I recently returned from my latest Scandinavian shopping trip and wanted to share some photos with you.
As many of you know, I travel to Scandinavia several times a year looking for up-and-coming designers, and to secure the latest items for Huset customers.
During this trip, I traveled to Stockholm to visit with houseware vendors, and to Copenhagen for Scandinavia’s biggest fashion fair.
Here are some pics of my trip…
Also, I should point out that we’ve just put over 260 items on sale to make room for the new Fall items. While they last, you can get many of our items for 30-70% off!
New Fall items from Custommade, By Malene Birger and Odd Molly have just been added to our site and more items are being added …

Glass dome display cases are very popular right now. If you are looking for an alternative to the round glass domes to display trinkets, souvenirs and other beautiful objects, check out this great KUB A mini vitrine by Eva Lilja Löwenhielm. They are made of lacquered metal and with a thick crust in wood or carrara marble.
They are only available at Asplund Store in Stockholm at the moment, but will soon be at Huset this Fall.
Eva Lilja Löwenhielm founded her design studio in 1995, and she has clients such as IKEA, Alcro, AGA, Asplund, Filippa K, Hotel Birger Jarl, and ROOM, among others.

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 …

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 …
