Design and style from a Scandinavian perspective

Iris Hantverk catalogue

Iris Hantverk is a Swedish organisation that has been employing blind and sight impaired persons to make high quality household items since 1903. Perhaps some of you have heard of them or at least seen their brushes or other products? I personally think they are wonderful. And after seeing their new catalogue, I like them even more! It's styled by Cia Wedin, shot by Anna Kern and designed by Anna Larsson.


Anyway, the Swedish government has decided to discontinue their benefits towards Iris Hantverk, so now they have to make it on their own. I'd be really sad to see them go, so please, if you can, show your support by buying something from Iris Hantverk. They have two stores in Stockholm, one in Kungsgatan 55, and one in Västerlånggatan 24. If you don't live in Stockholm they have lots of retailers abroad. They are planning a webshop, but until then you can find some of their products online for example here.

    Tyvärr verkar det inte som att något de skapat säljs i webbshopen. Jag hittar bara olika hjälpmedel och produkter på för synskadade, inga borstar eller dylikt från bilderna ovan alls!

    Iris har många återförsäljare och egen butik på Kungsgatan och i Gamla Stan. Jättefina butiker! En gång i tiden jobbade jag där och där såldes mina första alster.... Så tack till Iris (butiken hette då Svenskt Hantverk).

    Benjamin, hoppsan så det kan gå när man är stressad! Ursäkta misstaget, jag har rättat till det nu.

    So sad to hear this. I have been to their shops and will check out their web shop as soon as it is online.

    I love their products and the idea behind them. Thanks for the heads up.

    Deras produkter är verkligen fina! Min mammas farföräldrar var båda blinda sen födseln och gammelfarmor band borstar i hela sitt liv. Jag undrar om de såldes av Iris hantverk... har aldrig tänkt på att fråga inser jag nu!

    mrswoo, which links aren't working for you? If you click on the word "catalogue" it should take you there. Isn't it working for you?

    All my support for them - I really hope everything works out and they can continue the great work. The Finnish company Sokeva Käsityö makes similar products as well, they're renewing their collection and it looks so great.
