Formex 2010: Lotta Kühlhorn

Posted by Tiffany on August 12th, 2010    1 Comment »

Formex is on! And who should be stationed right at the door of the first hall we entered, but old friends Lotta Kühlhorn and Karin Carlbark with their new company, koloni stockholm.

Lotta Kühlhorn with new patterns for her company koloni stockholm.

You know what their name refers to, right? Not like the 13 original colonies. Koloni in Sweden refers to garden allotments… little plots of rural paradise in the middle of the city. So now all those apples, pears, radishes and such make sense! They are what koloni stockholm is all about.

A range of tea towels, some new patterns and some we’ve admired before.

Among the new products on display for the next couple of days are new tea towel patterns, a range of pear mugs to accompany the apple ones in a rainbow of colors, patterned trays, and these pretty jars below.

New jars from Lotta Kühlhorn and koloni stockholm.

All bright, fun, and a little bit retro. It wouldn’t be koloni stockholm otherwise.

Tile decals and trays… old and new together.
