Stockholm Furniture Fair 2013


Posted February 15th, 2013 by holly@huset No Comments »

This year the Stockholm Furniture Fair was just incredible. I’m still so inspired with all the wonderful designs I saw and am very excited to get some of these designs in the Huset Store.


One of my favorite product from the whole show was this Bake Me A Cake light by Morten and Jonas for Nothern Lighting, inspired by the classic cartoon ruse of baking a file into a cake to help prisoners escape. It is made by inmates of a Norwegian prison near Bergen, as part of a project which aims create a high quality products within Norwegian prisons while providing meaningful activities to build confidence and challenge the mindsets and behaviors of the inmates.

Molo News


Posted January 16th, 2013 by holly@huset No Comments »

We got new products from Molo Kids this week. See all items here!

Molos philosophy is:  ”When children are free to express their creativity through their clothing, they gain self- esteem and confidence. We believe that the fit of the clothing should allow for freedom of movement while the rich details allow for freedom of expression. Our clothes should open a world of possibilities for the child, not limit the child.”
