On a Malmsten mission at Bergman's place

I was invited to Fårö in order to make an inventory of Carl Malmsten furniture in Ingmar Bergman's home. After the dramatic auction at Bukowskis a year ago most of Bergman's possessions are now back at home again. I was fortunate to visit the domains of the legendary director and experience the harmony he had created with well choosen furniture, rugs and textiles.

Malmsten inspires Acne

The Swedish fashion brand Acne has launched its first range of furniture, at the Hôtel Pozzo di Borgo in Paris.

The result is interesting and makes you want to see where they will go next.

Fight the dark - light a candle

We are right now having the shortest days of the year, darkness is waiting around the corner. Luckily there is a fantastic way to fight the darkness - light a genuine candle. Place it on the table while having breakfast and your day will take off very nice. Only remember to put it out before leving home. If you get snow, don't forget to make a snow lantern outside your house. It's not only beautiful, it also makes it easier for Santa to find his way!

Malmsten from Monocle's point of view

The reader is offered a generous introduction to the world of Malmsten with visits at schools, factorys and the shop at Strandvägen, Stockholm.
