Andyland is another great site for affordable art, their collection is even a bit bigger than wonderwall. My personal favorites, of course, are the illustration collages of various Stockholm motifs. But I also love the butterfly woman, so delicate!

Saldo is a Swedish textile company run by textile design couple Stefan and Madlein Fallgren. They recently started working with Ljungbergs textiles, so there should be more exciting news from this collaboration within the coming year.

apgar

i’ve always loved the simply beauty of chairs- their lines are so clean and so familiar. while clicking through etsy the other day i came across apgar printing machine’s chair linograph and thought it was too interesting to pass up. designed by jonathan apgar of long beach, ca, this chair linograph is available right here for $25 (many other non-chair patterns available). i’d love to see jonathan’s take on some classic eames or bertoia pieces…

.Ljungbergs Textiler., is a great place to shop for textiles in Sweden. Located about 20 minutes outside of Gothenburg, it’s a perfect weekend day trip. Ljungbergs has one of the best collections of fabrics in the country. And they are always working with some of Sweden’s most well known and current textile artists.

In 2004 they began a collaboration with textile artist Catharina Edlund, for her thesis project at Konstfack in Stockholm. Catharina asked three different writers to fantasize freely and write about a piece of art that she had created. She then drew inspiration for her textile prints from those writings.
