Photographer Lisa Cohen
I'm on my way to
Konstfack's big Spring Party, so with my head out the door I'm just going to give you a glimpse of photographer
Lisa Cohen's portfolio!
"Lisa’s creative eye was developed while working for 8 years in London on interiors magazines as a stylist, producer and art director of interior and lifestyle shoots. This culminated in the position of Decoration Editor of British House & Garden. During that time, the chance to work with many talented photographers and designers saw her interest become increasingly about the creation of the final image: the subtlety of light, the mood conveyed, the balance between composition and layout, and the ability of an image to both interpret or create a moment. This all worked to fuel Lisa’s own desire to move behind the camera.
Since that day Lisa has worked world wide, capturing on film how the inspirational ones amongst us live, and also working with commercial clients to create images of how many of us would love to live."

Designtorget opens a webshop!
Designtorget is a chain of stores selling new Swedish design objects, hand picked to be interesting and fresh, with a constantly changing range of products. This is
the shop to visit when you are looking for a unique hostess gift, something special for yourself, your home or your child.
Up until now, the products have only been available in the big cities in Sweden, but now everyone has access to the wonderful stuff, through the
Designtorget Webshop that opened today! For now, they only ship within Sweden, but I read that they are planning to expand to international shipping in the future, so save the address for future use, as there are some very desirable objects to be found here.

Re-found Objects
Just found this charming British little webshop,
Re-found Objects, with the most beautiful product shots. I think that is so important for webshops, and unfortunately too often overlooked. When you can't touch the objects you are interested in, all you can do is indulge them with your eyes, and if the picture isn't tempting, you won't buy. So all you shopowners out there, invest some money in hiring a professional photographer for your site, I'm sure it will be worth it in the end!

Konstfack Graduation Show 2008
Stockholm is boiling with creative energy at the moment, as all of the Art and Design schools are holding graduation shows right now! Today I went to the Masters exhibition at
Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design. I saw lots of very innovative things made by tomorrows big Swedish designers, and can't wait to share some of it with you! So here we go, enjoy a few of my favourites from this show:

Ana Sikuljak in front of her crazy colourful narrative wallpaper, so full of details I could have spent hours looking at it and still not have seen it all.
Olle Toftenow's shirt with another shirt photo printed on it. I fell completely in love with this project, especially this shirt, a silk dress with printed frills and a long sleeved cotton t-shirt with the print of a knitted wool sweater.


Hedvig af Ekenstam's Knitted Radiators, mobile and flexible radiators made out of heating cables.


Hanna Hedman's exquisite jewellery. You should see this in person, it is so amazing!
Sofia Enbom's layered curtains/separators is another thing that is so much better irl. The play with light and shadows is so beautiful, and you can draw the curtains to different sides to alter the colours, lightflow and patterns. Truly talented!

Eye Candy
Some kitchens for you all, but mostly for Lisa who is redecorating her kitchen soon and asked for some inspiration, preferably with a 40's touch. Now, I don't know if I succeeded on the 40's part, but I tried to make it a little "retro meets modern". Enjoy!

Design by: a walking t-shirt exhibition
Design by is the world's first t-shirt exhibition on graphic design. Fifteen designers. A couple are world famous, a few well known, and a few unknown. They have created fifteen different t-shirts that will be worn by fifteen different people. On foot, they're taking the exhibition and graphic design, to where they want. Into the heart of culture. On Saturday, May 10, they will visit the
Modern Arts museum,
Kulturhuset and the
Bruno mall at Götgatsbacken.
Design by is a graduation project by graphic design student Sofia Viktorsson at Berghs School of Communication. She is the curator of the exhibition, and says:
"The purpose is to give graphic designers a forum for showing their work. There are over 200 art halls in Stockholm, but none who focus on graphic design."
Some of the graphic designers on exhibition are:
Lisa Bengtsson,
Lotta Kühlhorn,
Hanna Werning and
Fellow Designers.

Ceramist Josefin Fina Holmqvist
Swedish ceramist
Josefin Fina Holmqvist is exhibiting at
Kaolin gallery in Stockholm until May 25th. Don't miss her ceramic art inspired by electricity lines and their entangled appearance!
Holmqvist graduated from HDK/department of ceramic art - University of Gothenburg in 2001 and have since worked in Studio Feldspar in Västra Frölunda. She exhibits her work in both Sweden and abroad, have spent time in China, Hungary and Denmark, and at the moment she is finishing a public commission for a chinese garden within an area called Götheborg in Gothenburg.
"In my work, time tends to be the factor which often feels most important. Regardless of whether relating to sculptural objects or functional goods, time is often present as a common denominator. Time: as in the visually observable in an object, as in a flow or a rhythm in decor or sometimes as the basis of inspiration."

Hotel du Nord, Bornholm, Denmark
I'm dreaming of spending a summer week at the lovely
Hotel du Nord at Bornholm, a small Danish island just south east of Sweden's southern coast. The hotel looks so totally relaxed and cozy! It is built in an old print factory, with a view over the ocean, and they serve communal dinners at a long table for 20 persons. Plus the whole place is extremely child friendly with boxes of dress up clothing, toys and paper and crayons at the table! Doesn't it sound like the perfect vacation for a single parent with two wild kids?
If you want to you can rent the whole house for a very reasonable price, and celebrate your birthday, wedding or just the fact that life is sometimes great, with a barbecue in the garden or catering from the hotel.
