Yesterday’s news: First day in the office

Dear All
February 5th, 2012
Home Sweet Sweden, our new one-line MAGAZINE is an homage to my and my family’s new homeland. Now we have two.
As the Swedish Minister of Integration said recently: Immigrants are people that you share a future with, not a past – even though he was talking about people from farther away than Denmark.
Scandinavia seems to be a unit when seen from the rest of the world, for those born and bred here there are obvious cultural differenced between the countries. – I am grateful for the invitation to a common future, and I have accepted the challenge and invested the best and most precious that I have: My two children who now see themselves as Swedes, speak Swedish, have Swedish friends and Swedish habits.
It’s almost six years since we moved from Copenhagen to Sigtuna north of Stockholm, thinking that we were just passing through and that we would move on in 2012, either back to Denmark or to somewhere else. We were actually starting to pack when we discovered that we had put down roots, that we had grown to love the country and the people around us, and not least that our children had become Swedish.
So, with one foot already out the door, we decided to stay.
In gratitude and with curiosity we decided to dedicate a magazine to Swedish design and Swedish designers – for totally selfish reasons, since it has given us a unique chance to get answers to a lot of questions, has allowed us to have many interesting conversations and definitely gained us some new friends as well as beautiful and functional design for our store.
Thank you!
This week we are opening our new office in Stockholm: not a shop, but an office and showroom. You are always welcome to drop in – we do not promise that you’ll find the door open, so phone ahead to be sure, unless it’s Thursday afternoon. On Thursdays we’ll always be there, and coffee will be waiting in the pot. And when you’re in Stockholm anyway, maybe you’ll find use for the guide that I’ve made for you and which you’ll find at the end of this magazine.

Report from a process in progress #4
February 4th, 2012
The last sentence in our online MAGAZINE issue 9 is put in today, and tomorrow it is in the air –
Beside articles about interesting people I have made a Stockholm guide for you – I look forward to offering you the very best I know.
Today’s very best offer is the hand-woven silk scarf from our outlet – Lina Christensen handled the contact to the craftsmen in Thailand who made this scarf – the silk quality is very high and the scarf fits men as well as women.

Report from a process in progress
February 1st, 2012
We are busy these days, counting down to this year’s first online MAGAZINE coming out on Sunday and counting down to opening our new office in Stockholm – we love that place – it’s tiny but the atmosphere is great. Even though the whole building is being renovated and we start out with scaffolding hiding the whole front, it does not hinder our pleasure – we love that space and the location on one of Stockholm’s most beautiful streets.
Our outlet is nearly empty now – help us to remove the very last – if you ask me what to go for I’ll answer: “do not hesitate to buy the rubber boots from Melissa”.

The last story about scarves for now is also a love story. – Just because I love its delicate quality and I love dots – nothing else to say… it´s a classic, it´s soft and it fits my Monday.

Scarves made from milk
January 29th, 2012
Not only are Claudia and Danielle behind 2ADD driven by beauty and the opportunity to minimize allergies, they are also preoccupied with innovative materials.
Vela, one of their scarves has one more label beside the 2ADD one: the “MILKOFIL” label. This style is made from 61% silk, 29% protein fibre and 10% cotton.
About the protein fibre Claudia explains: “This is an innovative organic yarn derived from milk. The amino acids of the milk are transferred to fibre by a bio-engineering technique. Milk fibres are particularly antibacterial and beneficial for the skin and have a pH similar to human skin.”
