The Local Firm

Swedish label The Local Firm is sailing on their way to be one of the dominant actors on the Scandinavian fashion market. The design is Scandinavian simplicity with a bit of grey gloominess. I suppose if Ingmar Bergman would have done clothes instead of films they probably would have looked something like this. The label has a point now and then but it just doesn't rock my float.

Arne Jacobsen

I felt that I needed to make one posting to break away from fashion but it's got to do with design at least. When it comes to furniture design Scandinavians are the best. Here we have three classics from the designer Arne Jacobsen (1902 - 1971). The Danish master was a designer and architect and was one of the best advocates for functionalism.

Modernism and Scandinavian simplicity ruled over Arne Jacobsen's work. I love his design aesthetics and could easily decorate my home with his furniture. They are still manufactured and copies are made in heaps and droves. If you want an original you have to pay through the nose.
