Charlotte Lifes About The Journey: Dispatches from Sweden by Fine Little Day

Contributor post by Elisabeth from Fine Little Day

Hi, Elisabeth from Fine Little Day here. Today I visited a freind and colleague of mine, Anna Backlund. Actually she shares a studio with me now for a couple of weeks. Anna is a textile designer, a talanted one as you can see. When she's not in the studio with me she studies at School of Art and Crafts, HDK in Gothenburg. This is where I visited her today, in one of the school's atelier. Anna who's working with an exhibition gave me (and now you) the opportunity to take a peek at her coming work for the exhibition.

"Tufta" - crafting, for real. Can't decide which side I like most, the front or the back. Both beautiful, in different ways." This peek was a pure vitamin kick for someone like me. Hope you enjoy it too.

Dispatches from Sweden

Contributor post by Elisabeth Dunker of Fine Little Day

Greetings from a summery Sweden. Here, some pictures from an interesting exhibition (sorry only in Swedish) that me, my colleague Katarina and her dog, Perro visited today. Woodworkers, crafts people and designers have decorated sheds in the purpose to stimulate interest in locally produced and sustainable materials. The sheds that are located in Nääs/Gothenburg, is all decorated individual. I especially enjoyed these two.

This shed is designed for the urban family who longs for a house in the country. The shed includes folding beds and tables, built-in benches with storage and a small kitchenette. Compact, flexible, plain. And good looking.

The orange pattern "Tallhyo" is made by Stig Lindberg.

This shed is a timber in the traditional way but has a different layout. The timber is visible inside and the ceiling is covered with birch bark. The door can be folded out to create a small glass veranda. The newly manufactured windows are made in a manner that was common around 1900."
