Today we welcome spring. We listen to choirs singing the traditional spring-welcoming-songs. We watch the students taking their hats on and having big festivities the cities with tecnical universities. We are lighting fires and holding hands with loved ones, freezing in way to light summer clothes.

Supposedly we are celebrating Valborg as a memory of a Saint from the 700:s named Valborg. Even the Vikings were lighting fires and having a party this day to welcome spring. In the middle ages people were lighting fires before they let their cattle out for summer, to scare away wolves and demons. Nowadays, there are not too many wolves to scare away, but singing in the spring and meeting people around a big fire is still a nice tradition. So, happy Valborg everyone!

VITSIPPA- Anemone Nemorosa- WOOD ANEMONE
Bild

AFTER A LONG AND COLD WINTER that never seemed to end, here is sping at last. 
​When the Wood anemones (vitsippor) are blooming everywhere around trees still naked without leaves, I feel like life is returning.
​Vitsippa bears hope of summer and short sleeves, just as Lucia carries hope of christmas.
​I am so grateful spring is finally here, and spent the whole day in the garden, with a smile on my lips. Welcome lovely spring!


​STUMPASTAKEN is made in Sweden of recycled aluminum and is by now a Swedish design classic.  This year we are introducing vases for Stumpastaken, perfect to combine with candles for the ultimate table piece. The vases will be available in stores sometime late summer, I can´t wait to explore all possibilities this will add to an already very useful design item.

​The whole Stumpastaken range is available in our webshop
