I’m lucky. What a treat it is to meet talanted, sharp minded and warm hearted people. And what a plus when that combination of qualities also includes great talent. I met two people like that today, two amazing artists. Leif Sodergren who’s work you can see in this post was one of them.
Leif paint in old folk art style inspired by Dalamålningar from the Swedish province of Dalarna. I bet you can understand why I was stunned by look of his art. Such a nice hand touch in the paintings and “other art” feeling.
Inside the whale – The Johan Thing.
And the house. Filled with great books and art all over. Take a look at Leif’s adorned kitchen here.

But the new kitchen wallpaper in the apartment is looking really good, so maybe not yet. Hope spring will be long. We love.
Book tip: Italo Calvino‘s The Baron in the Trees. A story about twelve-year-old Cosimo who climbs up a tree and decides never to come down again.
Agnes Brugger is a graphic designer based in Schweiz. She is also the founder of newly started MiniMecks which makes great jumpsuits for kids. Wish this cool one was available in my size.
The whole studio smells of olive wood and oil. The first product I designed for House of Rym has landed. The Drop tray. A bunch of them are pre-ordered but not all of them. Hope that the porcelain will arrive soon as well.
Monday starts with great pillows from the newly established Swedish design duo How are You. The collection is called “Making hard things soft”. I like :)
I walk past the brick house and just can not stop myself from sneak in. Look at garden. Beautifully random and rather crazy. The wild, not always practical but oh so breathtaking. Our place last June, more like a meadow or jungle.
Maurice Sendak, rest in peace.

Australian Mr Kitly has the greatest range. Always trendy, stylish and unique. And on top of that I love the raw photos of their products. I would buy the book if the would made one, Mr Kitly products. Teapot, Teaset, Potholders
More favorites Smalltown hanger, Barefoot bag and Misaki Kawai: Blueberry Express.
It’s friday, we are going to Skåne to a baptism. And we are getting a new wallpaper. Talk soon!
Even if the first Rym collection has been delayed Anna and I are working with new products for the next collection this very moment. This is a rough sample of a new rug I’m working on
Look what a rug beauty that is for sale at Lauritz. This one looks great as well. And this. Wouldn’t say no to the Patched Kelim pillows or this great collection of dollhouse furnitures either.
Ok it’s time to leave Popcorn evenings and spring time days here for a week or two. I’ll be back in Gothenburg and work for a while.
So, even healthier than some vegetables – Popcorn packed with antioxidants, CBS news. That’s the kind of news we like.
Make no mistake, I eat just about everything as long as it is vegetarian food. I do prefer healthy stuff though. And I’m trying to stop feeding myself accidentally. No complicated stuff. If I can I choose food with energy for a longer period. The dish above has become a favorite. Zucchini pasta is super easy to cook. Clean and cut the zucchini into long thin “spaghetti” slices using a vegetable peeler or cheese slicer. Cook the slices in slightly salted water for about 10 seconds.
I pour a little cream and soy sauce and eat it with fried Quorn, salad, freshly grated black pepper and Parmensan cheese. Try it it’s tasty, and healthy.
