New Nordic Lighting
The young Norwegian lighting company, Northern Lighting, has come a long way since first wrote about them in 2006 and this year has seen the introduction of an impressive range of new products. Moo, their homage to the humble Scandinavian elk, is hard to miss these days since it’s quickly become the favorite design object to adorn the walls of design based businesses in Oslo.

Naturally Inspired Design
Given that Monica Förster is the creator of some of the most internationally renowned objects in contemporary Swedish design, it’s taken far too long for lifeiscarbon® to mention her in their pages. Even more so because she is the designer of the legendary Cloud, one of our all-time favorite pieces of Scandinavian design.

New Art Of Glass
Lipsticks, high-heels and phalli. Power, gender and consumerism. Just some of the icons and ideas explored in the work of glass artist, Åsa Jungnelius. Often using stereotypically charged objects as reference points in order to either hyper-emphasize or subvert their established meaning, Jungnelius creates larger-than-life objects of feminine beauty at the Åfors Glassworks in Småland, Sweden.

Shhh! Swedish Fashion Secret
Whilst braving the bitter coldness of an early winter to stroll around Oslo during the weekend, lifeiscarbon® briefly popped into NorwayDesigns in attempt to stay warm. Something of a misnomer, NorwayDesigns is predominantly a collection of fashion, furniture, design objects and handcrafts from Sweden, Denmark and Finland rather than from Norway. Be that as it may, the store often showcases upcoming Scandinavian designers and we were happy to stumble across the latest collection from Swedish fashion brand, Nygårdsanna.
