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

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 2010 International Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) were awarded recently at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. While most of the awards went to non-Scandinavian designers, we wanted to make special note of the two Scandinavian winners (and then point out one really great design from a non-Scandinavian designer).
If you’re not familiar with the IDEA Awards, let me give you a little background…
Each year, thousands of designers submit pieces to be judged. The designs are judged based on innovation, benefit to the user, benefit to society and natural ecology, benefit to the client, visual appeal and aesthetics, usability testing (i.e. function and reliability) and implementation.
This year, there were 1,900 entrants from designers representing 28 different countries. While most of the pieces submitted were impressive, only 38 …
Norwegian industrial designers Vibeke Skar and Ida Noemi Vidal created these wonderful ceramic pendants that not only provide light, but convey the story of Norwegian traditions, the contrast between the cold weather and the warm clothing and homes. Story draws inspirations from the fact of going backwards to go forwards.
The lamps are called Story, which have been decorated with Norwegian patterns sandblasted into their unglazed porcelain finish. It’s a modern look on a very traditional pattern. It sheds new light upon traditional Norwegian knitting patterns on woolen sweaters and gives a new and softer expression to the cold hard porcelain surface.
According to the designers, here is Storys, story: Once upon a time there was a porcelain lamp called Story. Born in Norway between high mountains and deep fjords, it dreamed of lighting …

I want a new bicycle for my birthday this summer, but not just any bicycle will do, I’m in love with the classic Swedish bicycle from Skepphult. I’ve been wanting one of these bicycles for a very long time, actually since the first time I rode one over 12 years ago. The classic Swedish bicycle brand Skeppshult is known for their wonderfully built, super comfortable bikes. Cycles from Skeppshult are renowned for their high quality and good design. As proof of this the Skeppshult bicycle is the only bicycle to receive the prestigious award of Swedish Design Excellence.
I have pedaled around Småland Sweden on one of these bicycles, (always rented), and now I think it’s time to own my very own. The only problem is, which color to chose, …

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.
Dream about an idyllic place…
Many hours, many days, many weeks and years have women in older generations …
