And today (Happy Friday!) brings me to my final day of reflection on the Stockholm Design Fair. It was such an amazing experience to see so much talent in one place. I’ve spent most of this week focusing on student and indie design (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), but the big kids were out in full force, too — everyone from Marimekko to Design House Stockholm — with their newest additions to their product lines. So many fun goodies — good thing I didn’t have any room in my suitcase; there were a few things that I just might have tried to smuggle out of there! — Amy A.

Image above: Design House Stockholm brought all of their newest products to the fair. My two favorites were the Björk collection of rugs and ottomans and the Timo glass, which has an outer spiral-shaped layer of silicone so that you can use it for hot drinks, too.

Image above: The amazing designer Katrin Greilling created the Design Bar at the Fair — after a full day of trekking around, those lounge chairs looked pretty appealing! (Kartrin even created leather scarves for the staff — I was a little obsessed with them in a cowgirl fantasy kind of way — they’ll be for sale on her site soon.)

Loooove the birch light. Such an awsome concept
Oh me oh my.. that fixture in the Hello! booth is beyond everything I’ve ever wanted….
give it to me now!
I need! the puff ball rug and success lamp for my office! Those are fantastic!! Thanks for sharing!
thanks for sharing. I hope a lot of the growing plants in furniture you saw were not acrylic. Shame on designers for still using acrylic as a mateial in funiture!
The table and benches from Furnibloom are a very creative & green idea but it hurts the back of my legs just looking at them. I think rounding the edges would make them more comfortable without looking any aesthetic appeal. Just my opinion.
What a wonderful idea, to mix the terrarium concept with that of a clear-top table! It’s screaming DIY…
Awesome designs and art! The plant furniture is super cool.
Love that green wallpaper in the first picture! Any ideas as to where one might find it?
I love the first two pictures, the one with the neck tie and the book shelves. Looking at them they look simple but they look amazing. And the Blockshelf is great too. It may not be practical for a house full of kids but I love it
I love the birch haning lights! Thanks so much for sharing all the great pictures. It’s always inspiring to see what new designers are up to!
I like the flower lamps. It’s a nice tweak to something that’s been out there forever. The stems-chords are an interesting touch. Gives it a soft look.
Oh very nice! I was wondering when someone was going to design an attractive aquarium.
The plate is inspired! And I love the aquarium and the puff ball rugs.
But the plants in the furniture idea gives me the creeps. Sitting on grass is fine; but sitting on glass-encased grass seems disrespectful. Like putting shoes on books!
Wow I loooove that green wallpaper in the first picture. Thanks for sharing.
The fixture in the “Hello-exhibition” at Stockholm Furniture fair was lent from http://www.millikengallery.com and is made by artistduo Bigert&Bergström http://www.bigertbergstrom.com.
