A design object for a concept store

 

Cradle of design, Sweden conceals original treasures to decorate interiors. Far from being limited to IKEA, Swedish design is in constant search of renewal. Stockholm is a breeding ground for innovative designers who experiment around ecological materials, influenced by their environment: the use of wood, the clean side, light and natural colors. In the many decoration shops, you will find small furniture, candlesticks, lamps, crockery and other objects that are aesthetic, practical and everyday.

A Dalecarlian horse

 

A true symbol of Sweden, you will find them in most souvenir shops in Stockholm. Coming in all sizes and colors, this authentic keepsake is hand carved and painted. The classic horse is red with a white, green, yellow and blue harness pattern. Its origin dates back to the 19th century, lumberjacks themselves made toys for their children and artists were inspired by this custom by decorating them with beautiful bright colors. A tradition that continues today!

Called brännvin in Swedish, schnapps (or snaps) is the country's favorite liqueur, distilled from potatoes or grains such as barley, rye and wheat.
