apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

The candle holder was shaped like a clam shell, made of heavy brass, with a thin layer of silver, which turned it into a mirror when opened. I still have it to this day. This was one of my first run-ins with really cool modern design shops and the values and the emphasis on good design stuck with me.

Design House Stockholm is still around and going strong. Conceived as a "publishing company for unique Scandinavian design," it is just that and houses a broad and always interesting range of modern design products, all of which hew to their motto above (which happens to have come from the Shakers!).

Located in Stockholm, DHS has a good online shop. If you are looking for something unique and Scandinavian, this should be on your short list.
