The wonderful new collection from Danish design maven Malene Birger is slowly starting to come into the store. You can check out her fashion show I attended last summer to see some of the wonderful pieces in store for all By Malene Birger fans.By Malene Birger S/S 2012

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 daily so make sure to check back often.

This video was shot in Helsinki, Finland. It tells the story of the collaboration between Converse and Finnish textile icon Marimekko. The cinematic portrait celebrates the timeless spirit that both brands are born out of, and unveils the story behind the women’s focused Converse x Marimekko Spring 2011 collection. The video’s soundtrack features tracks by Finnish music artists Husky Rescue and Uusi Fantasia.

Now open on Abbot Kinney. Come by and say hello! Check the link for interior pics.

After much hard work and late nights, the Huset Store is finally complete! Come by and say hi if you are in the Los Angeles area. Our new store is located at 1316 1/2 Abbot Kinney Blvd. in Venice, CA. We look forward to see you there!

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 the lovely dachshunds posters. Come check them out!
