De mjuka formernas revolution

Inspiration

The revolution of soft forms

It's as if a revolution has rolled in and taken over our homes. The same movement has also hit public spaces and not least our Instagram feeds. The revolution comes in soft shapes, with curved contours and it is as if all straight lines and sharp corners have been eliminated in favour of the opposite. The shapes are accompanied by materials that feel as inviting as a soft and warm fur on a chilly winter day or a knitted mohair sweater against bare skin.

En designer och en designklassiker med försprång

Inspiration

A designer and a design classic with an edge

A design classic that's getting extra attention right now is Ettore Sottsass Jr's Ultrafragola - a mirror, a lamp and a piece of art in one that translates to Ultrajordgubbe. Young designers are inspired by it in their creations and with its early postmodernist form it fits perfectly in the current Memphis house, both in all-in environments and in more stylish interiors.

Virgil Abloh x Cassina

When Virgil Abloh passed away a year ago, he left behind a vast design legacy in fashion and contemporary culture. His last project was for the high-end Italian brand Cassina and resulted in Modular Imagination - a series of freestanding cubes that can be stacked together to form seating, tables and storage areas. As the only furniture store in the world, Nordiska Galleriet has been chosen to sell and display the collaboration with an in-store pop-up installation, starting on 3 November.

Parachilna lyser upp din värld

Inspiration

Parachilna lights up your world

Parachilna may be both founded and based in Barcelona. But despite its very Spanish background, the name is borrowed from the geography of Australia. There, in the south of the continent and 500 kilometres from Adelaide, lies the small town of the same name. With its sixteen inhabitants, it is the last outpost before the desert takes over and spreads across the landscape. Strategically placed right next to the railway, you might think, but it's been a long time since any train has stopped here.

"I rörelse"

Inspiration

"In motion"

From a stream of winding folds and temperamental lines, we are drawn into a kind of trembling topographical map of man's outer and inner landscape. Sculptural choreographies emerge, a balancing act where the hand leads the way. As living organic material, the works revolt against norms and confinement with a tactile aesthetic that speaks to both the eye and the hand. The static wooden frames work against the swelling, flowing sensuality of the fabric, creating a vibrant polarity in the composition of textile forms that seek to escape their framework and enter the viewer's mind.
