As Holly is on a “Scandinavian shopping spree,” I thought I’d let you know about some of the newest items we’ve added to our shop. Of course, when Holly returns, we’ll have many more items to add and I’ll likely make a new post covering those items in the very near future.
From Design House Stockholm -
Design House Stockholm Box Light by Jonas Hakaniemi
Jonas Hakaniemi’s Box Light is a lamp hidden away in a box, to be drawn out and exposed. A light adjusted with the touch of a hand. Forget about dimmers, this is as straightforward as interactive design can get.
Comes in either a black or silver aluminum finish.
The event kicks off by highlighting creations by Copenhagen-based designer Ole Yde. Ole is the dressmaker to royals and has designed for the Crown Princess amongst others.
His collection portrays a dreamlike vision of the feminine form and will be displayed along the almost mile-long (1.6 km.)…
The recent issue of Architectural Digest Russia features the wonderful Breakfast in Bed Tray by Maria Dahlgren.
A wonderful collection we must say!
Congrats to Maria!
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…
Easter has a number of things in common with Chrsitmas in Sweden. Easter cards are sent, Easter decorations are hung up and homes are decorated with little chicks, hens and roosters.
The home glows with yellow, which is so typical for Easter. There is no tree to decorate but people do put up Easter branches decorated with feathers in vibrant colors.
And of course we can’t forget the eggs! In Sweden children are given eggs made of paper that can be opened and filled with candy. Food plays a central role in most Swedish festivities and Easter is no exception. Lamb is eaten on Easter (which is what we’re having), some herring, eggs and maybe a little schnapps. …

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.

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.

We just returned from Stockholm’s Formex Gift show, and what a whirlwind trip is was! Just a few days to see all the new items offered for Spring, as well as meeting some of our vendors and making new connections too.
The theme for this years Formex show was Creative Flow, and according to designer Jan Rundgren, who created the main exhibition”Creative Spaces”, is summed up by: “Studio trends are precisely with the times, the individualistic style feels like one of the most powerful things at the moment. We’re looking for something unique in both objects and expressions. The spaces are bohemian, spontaneously decorated and show that a creative process is taking place” Jan’s exhibition space uses both…
