Stockholm Shopping: What I Found

On Sunday we left for a one day shopping cruise to Stockholm, Sweden. We were there early on Monday morning and left back the same evening. The weather was horrible, it was raining almost constantly so we tried to stay inside as much as possible. And that means shopping and strolling around pretty design shops. This is what I found:

1. Pretty graphic black and white cups. I just had to have these… my husband just laughed at me. :) Found at Lagerhaus.

2. Beautiful black and white photography cards. Found at Fotografiska. If you ever go to Stockholm, they have the BEST breakfast in their restaurant. But you have to buy the ticket to the photography exhipition to enter the restaurant. But it’s worth it, also for the beautiful photography and not just for food.

3. New metal basket for our bathroom. Found at Granit.

4. Two pairs of new jeans, both were -50%. I really needed new jeans, because when looking at my old jeans, I saw they were “only good for painting”-jeans… it was then I knew I needed new ones… :)

And that’s it. The trip was great and we had a good time although our feet were sore and our shoes were wet at the end of the day! Maybe next time we’ll enjoy some nicer weather… :)

What a find | Tapiovaara chairs

Black faux leather Tapiovaara chairs

 

Me and my husband were at a nearby flea market today when he noticed these chairs 10 euros per chair. They looked so good: black faux leather and black metal legs. We turned them to see if there was any manufacturer mark on the bottom. There was…

It says Lukkiseppo Oy, —— Suomi Finland, Tapiovaara design. Tapiovaara?!? For real??

Ilmari Tapiovaara is one of the most famous finnish designers of all time. Many of his designs are classics these days and can cost a fortune. These chairs were 10 euros per chair. What a find! Of course we took them home with us. We would have bought them anyway, even if they weren’t Tapiovaaras designs, we liked them so much.

I tried to google these chairs but didn’t find much. I guess they were designed for some public place or that these chairs are rare and there’s only a few pieces in the world. Both would explain the lack of information about these chairs. Hopefully we will be able to find out what they’re really worth and what’s the story behind them…
