Visiting Pogm (Pieces of Green Materials) in Stockholm. We were talking about Organoid and their wallpapper with remains of meadows. Summer on a cold winter’s day… They were hinting about new materials from bark, mycelium, wool etc. Beautiful and sustainable. #sustainable @pogm.se @organoid.naturalsurfaces

Working on a trend report about retail after the pandemic. A common topic that is reoccuring is that people want to buy cheaper stuff. Scary and interesting. Always look at statistics. Here Swedish pennies (tioöringar) that we used when we played cardgames like ”kille” with grandma and grandpa. #trends #retail

Working from here today. Recording for another podcast. #göteborg

Unexpected. Only 41 years old. Virgil Abloh passed away today.

Tomorrow is advent. I wrote about Christmas trends for 2021. Muted colours, home made, friendly and more ”mmmm…” than ”ha ha”.https://trendstefan.se/2021/11/27/christmas-trends-2021-2/All pictures by @fridastromphotographer for @plantagensverige

Stockholm have a new entertainment destination. 400 seats for gamers. From 13 years old. For older there is a bar section. Nice initiative but super boring architecture. Very uncreative in a competetive world. Can not help to wonder How much this costs… @space.stockholm @visitstockholm

Thanksgiving dinner or actually the day before so you have ”friends giving dinner”. Turkey, stuffing, gravy and mashed potatoes. I am very thankful for a lot of things and I have learned that it almost always work out at the end. No need to worry. @lexingtoncompany @lexingtonkristinalindhe

Fierce at the gym. Yes… used the wrong schampoo. Though it was FOR red hair. Not TO GET red hair. Well.. close…

I have made lamps. Full story at trendstefan.se#lamps #yay

Talking about Christmas on national radio at 11.30. Seems like we need to get the Christmas tree a mirror this year… this from Martha Stewart. #sverigesradio #christmas

My spread in the December issue of QX. Out this Wednesday so this is a sneak preview. Look at hot French boys, chill pills for your Christmas tree and my friend Fredrik made a fashion collection. This month’s no, no, no are people who take off their shoes in public places. No. We say no to that.

Afternoon coffee with Lesley. She was shopping me her new pillows. Made by village craftswomen in northern Thailand. @kinship.stories

Love this. As I have said before ”repair is the new black”. Don’t buy new - just repair. Here a new creative approach by Massproductions. Take your old chair to an artist like Flora Mottini and you have a sitting sculpture. Love, love, love. New repair concept launched now. #sustainability #repair @massproductions @fuluwatu

My new lamp collection. @byrydens

Today I did a press launch of a new lamp collection I did. Retro and disco feel. Obviously made everyone wear a disco wig…
