| I think this means Design Corner. It was one of my favourite shops. |
I have long wanted to visit Sweden. Then after reading "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and the Wallander books and watching Scandi-Noir on television, I made it a goal to get there. Don't be misled. I wasn't going there for the fictional crime, but for the scenery and the design.
In early May, a friend and I spent a lovely week travelling around the part of Sweden, ending our journey in Stockholm, where I intended to shop till I dropped, or similar. Sweden is very expensive, so I did more window shopping than actual shopping, but I enjoyed that just as much. Here are some of the things we found. Design Torget was my favourite shop for looking. Everything was very tempting, but I had to keep in mind budget and packing. I bought a few things from less expensive shops which I will blog later. For more information about where to go, see
thefoxisblack.com, a good sight for all things design.
