Sweded :: jj - music ::

To me jj sounds a bit like the xx meets olive, meets lykke li, meets imogen... meets the Neverending Story? Anyway, the Swedish "electro-pop" duo originally released some tunes in 2009 under the Göteborg-based independent label :: Sincerely Yours :: and are now also signed to an American label called :: Secretly Canadian :: (fantastic name!). I am waiting for them to come home to Sverige, hopefully I can catch them in a small venue... Pustervik perhaps? Thanks Davey for the tip, I know you and Rolls have been talking these guys up since last year... I'm catching on!

Sweded :: Fredrik Larsson - musician ::

Swedes are cute and like TV a lot. Oh and most are musically gifted. That may be an overstatement, but in my experience it is true! Loving that he snuck Freaks and Geeks in there, disappointed that he forgot Dawson's Creek.



p.s.They aren't twins, it is just the one guy. Had me fooled though.
p.p.s. You may want to click the video all the way through to youtube, because blogger seems only capable of displaying half of the screen! Boo.

Sweded :: Chen Karlsson - design ::

From :: Chen Karlsson:: , a scandinavian-asian homeware company founded by the two families of Chen and Karlsson (based in Stockholm) comes these hanging lamps called 'Favourite Things'. Pretty cute idea, what can I put in there?

Sweded :: Camilla Dietrich - wallpaper designer ::

Our apartment is currently a hodgepodge of 60s/70s second hand furniture, T's grandfather's paintings, haphazardly chosen and framed b&w photos and an area rug featuring various wolf images in shades of beige, brown and black. We have just inherited a really great couch/ chair combo, Swedish design circa 1965 in a vibrant teal colour from a friend's friend's dad (lucky us!). Both T and I really want to make this place look like a 'grown ups' apartment instead of a student house. Plus, it is incredibly unSwedish to have an undecorated living space (I am not even kidding). I have managed to convince T that as soon as we can afford a bit of decorating expenditures that I want to do a feature wall in the living room, and I am fixated on finding an amazing wallpaper design to suit the space.

So starting off the search for my dream wallpaper, I discovered Swedish designer, :: Camilla Dietrich :: . I love how playful and dynamic the prints are, but that she still manages to keep them simple and elegant. The glow effect in her Nature Ray Charles series is amazing, not sure it is suited for my apartment (who am I kidding, this stuff is waaay out of our price range) , but in the right spot I think it would look incredible.
