From Sthlm is a shop and a blog.

This is how it all fits together…

PS. Do you own a store and want to carry independent Swedish designers? We can help with that!

About the shop

We sell beautiful everyday items by independent Swedish designers.

Every month we feature a new designer and offer their freshest, most interesting designs in limited editions for 30 days only. Most of these designs have never been sold in the US before.

Even though we are based in California, we have happy, Swedish design loving customers all around the world.

(Oh, and “Sthlm” is a local Stockholmian abbreviation for “Stockholm”.)

About the blog

Inspiration, beauty, news and passion. If it has to do with Swedish design, and we like it, we’ll post about it!

Especially those things Swedes can take for granted, but we never get to see in the US and other parts of the world. Unless you visit Stockholm of course, which we highly recommend!

The blog lives at www.fromsthlm.com/blog and our feed is here.

About Swedish design

In Sweden good design is part of the urban landscape, it is evident in everyday items, and it is part of the national psyche.

There is even a name for it – “vackrare vardagsvara” – essentially “beautiful things for everyday life”.

Swedish designers recognize that the most meaningful possessions have a human side. That they have character and history, and give us comfort, joy, or make us laugh.

My friend Karin Carlbark at ‘retro etc’ in Stockholm explains it the best:

“Just by looking at it, a good design gives me a feeling of total happiness… It makes me want to touch it and hold it right then and there.”

I couldn’t agree more.
