It’s well-known that Sweden is a cool country. The music, the cinema and even the furniture of Sweden is wrapped by a halo of vintage and retro minimalism. Do you delight yourself with Ingmar Bergman and can’t wait for the next movie of Roy Andersson? Are you crazy all over José Gonzalez and The Knife?
You wanted everything from Orrefors and ended up furnishing your house in Ikea?
You have been with no doubt infected by the Sweden-love syndrome. I’m afraid to tell you that once you start being in love with everything coming from Sweden you will never go back.
So, the only thing to do now is to visit the country and get swept up in passion for functional design and fika, the Swedish word for having coffee and cake with friends.
