10 Swedish Designers
Started in 1970 by a group of then-maverick textile artists, Tiogruppen's bold geometric patterns have become icons of modern Swedish design.

Filippa K Ease
When Filippa K opened Ease, Wallpaper magazine was quick to rave about the eco-chic fit-out by designer Gert Wingårdh. While we love the green wall of live plants behind the counter, the real stars are the frump-free casual outfits for ladies who lounge.
