A Swedish Classic

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, …

News from Stockholm Furniture Fair

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.

“Things are finding their own pace now and we …

Scandinavia is Getting Darker

There is nothing like a Scandinavian summer evening where you can stay outside until midnight and still enjoy a bit of light. But there is also a dark side – the cold, dark and rainy winter-days. It’s starting to get dark when Scandinavians get up in the morning and will be dark again beforethey come back from work.

That is probably the reason why Scandinavians surround themselves with “tons of light”. They put candlelight everywhere and light up their homes with plenty of lamps. Here some pictures from Normann Copenhagen’s offices, one day when it was cold, wet and windy!!! They took these pictures of the Norm 06 lamp in a corridor of their offices in Copenhagen.

The Norm 06 was designed in 2006 by Simon Karkov. It is perfect …

Imaginative furniture for children

Furniture made for children are ether small versions of furniture for adults, or they tend to have strong colours and crazy shapes that leaves little space for imagination. These different design categories became the starting point for a new furniture concept. The aim for Please design was to create furniture that could work in a space that adults and children share while keeping a playful spirit. Giving the furniture strong characters without being gender orientated.

MyAnimo bench and A4 screen wall are lightweight furniture for children from 3 to 6 years old. They are inspired by the way children see the world. MyAnimo’s abstract shape wants to encourage imagination and can be a hippo as well as a cave. They can be connected together to create a longer curved bench …
