*malmö*

yesterday was our first time in sweden together (jason cruised through on his study tour, but didn't get to malmö). it was fun to explore, but lots of shops were closed on sunday. we took lots of photos, though.

this is jason... allisyn literally just walked out the door. she'll be sipping up the stockholm scene until saturday. i'm sure she'll have plenty of finds to share then.

so malmö...

basically, if you stand on your left foot you're in københavn, but hop onto your right foot and you're in malmö. (i äm løving using åll these nü chäracters).




the form/design center was fantastic and well worth the (short) trip. their current exhibition meanders around a camping (and camping gear) theme. al loved the textiles and hanging screens (including a beautiful birch print by maija louekari for marimekko). seems like the denmarkians & swedens cant get enough of their dishtowels. they are everywhere, in the dreamiest patterns. we are stocking up. i couldn't stop touching the eva solo table grill--i'd love to break this out to grill some veggies in yosemite, right outside the airstream (a boy can dream).

the 2nd floor housed their "literary café", a beautiful little spot where you can enjoy a biscuit and sip a kaffe (or varm choklad) while thumbing through an amazing array of design zines (many of which urge you to learn swedish or danish).

one of only stores that wasn't lukket was the center's butik on the 3rd floor. pretty killer... so many options, so little kroner. we scored some great dish towels in a sweet vintage pattern, though.


we sat by the sea with a light lunch before heading back to our homebase. this kid couldn't stay away from us, so obviously we had to document him.

we will be back, mälmo. we'll be back...
