I was just going through some files from way back when and came across these images of a townhouse in Landskrona, Sweden by Architects Elding Oscarson.
The home is only 5 meters wide and takes advantage of every inch of space. I love how this house stands in total contrast to neighbouring spots without looking out of place.

I still have Stockholm on my mind – and it looks like I might be staying a while. Vicariously, that is.
I could spend hours scrolling through the site of Eklund Stockolm New York – an “international” real estate agency specializing in Sweden’s most exclusive properties.
Spotted on Superfint
Our front door will be 10 feet tall. There’s a good chance it will swing too wide to allow for a pendant light in the entrance. But I’m hoping we can squeeze in one of these glass fixtures.
Below: Niche Modern Solitaire Pendant and Bell Jar Modern Pendant Light. Lovely!
Below: One Pendant designed by Maria Bernsten for Holmegaard. Avaialble at the Scandinavian Design Center.
Below: Disc Pendant by Alison Berger Glassworks for Holly Hunt. The entire collection is really stunning.
Below: Source unknown – but it’s simple enough, I’d hope to be able to track one of these down.
I’m learning to travel vicariously (or virtually) these days. Trips overseas are few and far between as of late, so I do what I can do get my fix. Online roaming has brought me to some unexpected spots. Despite my love for Scandinavian design, I have yet to make it to that part of the world (I’ve been awfully close, though). Copenhagen has been on my list for ages. I’d love to visit Stockholm. I admit, Helsinki was not really on my radar until recently.
When I do make a visit, I’ll be sure to visit these amazing looking locales.
Shown above, My o My is a “lifestyle” store offering fashion, design objects, jewelry, etc. They call themselves a “homebase for all kinds of creativity.” I love that. The store itself looks like a gallery and (from what I can tell) reminds me of one of my favourite spots in New York – Moss.
Lunch at the Sis Deli and Café would be lovely (Discovered via Designworklife)
Perhaps a stay at the Klaus K hotel would be in order
Ah, it would be nice. But, until then, I’ll continue to fuel my wanderlust by visiting Nestled In, a great interiors blog by two Finns.
I could also do some serious damage at the Finnish Design Shop. I’ll leave you with a couple of my favourite on-site items (don’t hold it against me that both were designed by Arne Jacobsen, a Dane!).
