All I do

This is all I do these days...

de Gournay

The walls in Matthew Williamson's beautiful flagship store on 28 Bruton Street in London (top two images) has hand painted wallpaper from de Gournay. de Gournay is a Brittish company that offers hand painted wallpapers, fabrics and porcelain and has specialised in 18th century Chinoiserie and 19th century French designs. They also specialise in reinterpreting these designs and colours to create a contemporary feel.

Röe gård

On the countryside close to Lysekil (the Swedish westcoast) you find Röe gård, a farm with both a café and a shop. The café has a lot of homebaked fantastic cookies and you pick whatever you want and pay after you have eaten. And the shop has so many cute things, ceramics, wooden toys, soap bars, tea, honey...

Dublin

I spent a few days in Dublin where my sister lives. I love the colourful doors and facades.

Drottningholm

I have holiday in my hometown Stockholm for a few days, doing tourist things. Today a boat trip to Drottningholm, the castle where the royal family lives.

Slacker Chair

I have summer holiday! And when I come back to the office in 4 weeks I want this office chair; Slacker Chair by Marie-Louise Gustafsson (she has by the way designed a lot of funny things like the mobile bathtub, mop flip flop and a table named cosy with a removable mattress)

Carin Wester

It's fashion week in Stockholm and tonight the designer Carin Wester had a public fashion show in Berzelii Park.

Storulvåns fjällstation

Karl and I spent last week-end in the north of Sweden. We stayed at Storulvåns Fjällstation and walked for hours in the mountains.

My Little Drama

Cute jewelery by My Little Drama which is a collaboration between product designer Eva Schildt and illustrator Maja Sten.

Arholma

Some photos from the beautiful island Arholma where I went for the midsummer weekend.

Babel by Fredrik Mattsson

The table Babel from Blå Station, designed by Fredrik Mattsson. Rings in birch stacked on top of each other which gives a big variable in height possibilities. The colour spectra from black to white, from black to red, from black to green or the other way around.

Wallpaper by Fabrikat

The designers Åsa and Linda at Fabrikat designed wallpaper collections for the company Your Wallpaper, here are some of my favourites.

Trophy mould

DesignNu is a newly founded prize that rewards outstanding Swedish design biannually. The organization behind the prize is Formmuseets vänner, an organization that has been working for over a century for a Design Museum in Stockholm. The trophy has been designed by Form Us With Love and the main idea is to allow the winner to mold as many trophies as he/she likes. A commentary on the strive for prizes and recognition in the design world, as well as a statement on material waste. The prize has been elected for the permanent collection at the Röhsska Museum of Fashion, Design and Decorative Arts in Gothenburg.

Dagmar

Swedish design brand Dagmar was founded by the three sisters Karin Söderlind, Kristina Tjäder and Sofia Malm and was launched in spring 2005. Dagmar was the name of the sisters' late grandmother - and big source of inspiration. In February 2006 Dagmar was awarded Best new designer of the year by Swedish Elle. The brand was also chosen to participate in the Gen Art Fresh Faces in Fashion show which took place during New York fashion week in September 2007.

A room in the sky

Like an oasis with a view over the whole city.

Jantze Brogård Asshoff

We made a blogpost about the design studio Jantze Brogård Asshoff last year but they have some new really nice things to show. The cabinet Peek, the sideboard Trollsta for IKEA, tableware Gataeu and the ceramic hook Bird (from last year, but so cute I want to show it). Sophisticated, useful products with a poetic soul and playful character. They mix modern with traditional, folklore with decadent luxury and regional Swedish handicraft with industrial production.

Åsa Westlund

Åsa Westlund makes fantastic traditional Swedish clogs in a modern way. They are handmade with handpainted kurbitsflowers from Dalarna.
