I thought I’d celebrate the first year of the gallery’s existence by collecting some great designers for a group exhibition. The result is a colorful selection of beautiful, smart, poetic and useful design and almost all of it’s for sale right in time for the holidays! Actually, some pieces was sold even before the opening on Sunday December 8th. The designers /design studios are: VÍK PRJÓNSDÓTTIR, ALL THE WAY TO PARIS, SUPAWAN SIHAPOOMPICHIT and LOUISE HEDERSTRÖM. Read more and get the links to the designers here.

I have designed the exhibition Shop Show together with Johan Carlsson of JAC Studios in Copenhagen. The design is based on the theme of the exhibition, the relationship between consumption and production, using a minimum of materials and aiming for a sleek and simple design. The exhibition will be shown at Form Design Center between October 18 – January 26 2014. Then it will tour the Scandinavian countries.

This exhibition by artist Johan Strandahl at Niklas Belenius Gallery, Stockholm, totally blew me away. I bet this will be the best exhibition of the year 2013, shown already in February. Denna utställningen med konstnär Johan Strandahl på Galleri Niklas Belenius knockade mig fullständigt. 2013 års bästa utställning, visad redan i februari månad!?
