We are designing a rug for London Design Fair. Today deciding on colors... How about this combination?
Today is the final day we are all gathered at the studio before the summer vacation. Wrapping up projects, like the new website that Kristin and Sara have been working with and that we'll be launching at the end of today! Then Kristin is going South Africa to participate in the project Change by Design, Sara will be enjoying the summer in Italy and myself... looking forward to catching up on some reading in the hammock! Happy summer to you all! / Petra
In the same smithy, a year ago, we asked the question, "What the hell are you doing here?". This led to a series of exciting conversations in the smithy of Gislöv, on topics like production and consumption, design, art and craft and cultural heritage, to name a few. The most recent meeting asking the question of what the bigger context look like.
Smedjangruppen, consisting of four artists and designers, are exploring these topics from the perspective of their individual position in the countryside of south eastern Scania.
In the past year the group has arranged local meetings, asked questions, deepened the discussion and initiated dialogue with the Region Museum in Kristianstad and Österlen Museum.
We now invite everybody for a dinner to continue the conversation with us.
Visitors are invited to a dinner in the smithy of Gislöv together with:
Gunnel Pettersson, artist (Glimminge)
Petra Lilja, Industrial Designer (Malmö-Glimminge)
Amit Sen, musician and artist (Hammenhög)
Kristofer Åberg, Forge and Designer (St Olof)
Location: Skånes Building Center Gislöv 2012, Simrishamn
Collaboration with Gislöv's Wrought Museum and Byagille

For the new vases in the 1+1+1 collaboration between Aalto Aalto, Hugdetta and Petra Lilja design studio we are experimenting with unexpected mash ups of 3D models. They have just been printed at the Ad lab of Aalto University. What do you think?
The Nordic design group 1+1+1, Hugdetta (IS), Aalto+Aalto (FI) and Petra Lilja Design Studio (SE), got awarded a financial grant from Iceland yesterday and last month with the award product line of the Year from magazine Grapevine.
Together with previous funding from Norden, the group are now able to continue their experimental explorations and are planning to collaborate closely with high-end craft production in all three countries. Aiming to make even more bold and fun unpredictable design in unique or limited editions for the future. Read more >>>
Today we took part of the exhibition Wanderlost in Kristianstad. Through moving image, text and audio Petra Lilja design studio has been exploring sugar with the starting point in the sugar beet as a historically important symbol of agriculture and industry in Scania, southern Sweden. The research based material was then combined with the method of writing constrains in a series of word collages as well as image collages. The exhibition showed a movie and printed matter.
