Bantie on the web

Swedish Ulrika Gyllstad and Wilhelmina Wiese started the fabric brand Bantie in 2007 and the collection is now available through retailers in England, Italy, Norway, Denmark and Japan. Now the brand also has its own web-shop. Bantie’s collection consists of seven patterns. In total there are 18 different colour combinations. The fabrics come by the metre, but they also make cushions, floor cushions, table cloths, table mats, bags, cosmetic bags, wash bags, trays and Russian dolls.

Noir et Blanc

Tonight it's the Swedish Elle gala and the rookie of the year is Noir & Blanc. A new Swedih brand by the designers Petra Thoms and Linnea Carlgren. The inspiration is often based on using strong silhouettes and distinct colours, decadent but yet still wearable.

Ulrika and Sonja

I was looking through my photos and found this one of my co-blogger Ulrika and her daughter Sonja from last winter. Aren't they just lovely?

New table

Karl and I have finally found the perfect dining table. I'ts a large oak table from Belgian Heerenhuis. Can't wait to get it home!

Parisian chic

Sartorial inspiration from Garance Doré. The charming girl is the blogger's sister.

70 sqm in Paris

I found this very charming apartment, full of creative solutions, in Sköna Hem. The beautiful dining table was designed by the owner and made out of wood from a wall that was torn down.

Marc Jacobs is the man behind the spring collections from Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs and Marc by Marc Jacobs. It's interesting to see how colours and shapes are echoed in in all three collections but executed so differently; wide belts, country style skirts, colours etc.

Christmas

Christmas at my parents'.

Georg Jensen Christmas

The Christmas ornaments from Danish design company Georg Jensen step away from the brand's refined, organic simplicity. Every year a new golden, detailed tree ornament is presented.

Garance Doré

I recently found the blog Garance Doré and it quickly became one of my absolute favourites. Written by a parisian freelance illustrator it started in 2006 and shows illustrations and photos of street fashion.

Acne + Lanvin

Lanvin and Acne Jeans have joined their talents to create an exclusive collection based around denim. Born from a meeting between Alber Elbaz and Jonny Johansson, the creative director of the celebrated Swedish jeans brand founded in 1996, this micro-range for men and women was developed around the idea of “making denim desirable”. Trom Wednesday the collection will be available at Acne Studio, at Lanvin stores throughout Europe and at secected Barney’s New York stores.

Gingerbread houses

At Box Experience you can buy a box with 4 architect-designed gingerbread houses. Wingårdhs, Marge Arkitekter, Rosenberg Arkitekter and architect Johan Paju has designed the houses. A fun idea and a perfect present at the glögg party.

Formex Magazine 2

The theme for the next design fair Formex in January is Wonderland stories and that is also the inspiration for the new issue of Formex Magazine. Interviews, trends, selected products, guide to Stockholm etc. Behind the magazine is Ottoboni Group (where I work).

My First Reflection

"My First Reflection" is a cute drawer mirror with golden knobs. It's designed by Pia Wallén for Brio. I have to buy this for my 4-year old for christmas.

Position of elsewhere

After a fun day in the studio of photographer Urban Jörén, we ended up with four great pictures for the upcoming campaign of Cullberg Ballet's February première. The model is the fantastic dancer Isaac Spencer.
