• Cecilie Manz

  "Linen is as iconic as wood, steel, leather and cotton. I have always had a passion for textiles in linen."

• Long live brutalism

  The old School of Architecture in Stockholm is considerably
  better than its reputation. Tor Lindstrand and Eric Claesson
  portray a brutalist building that is crumbling at the edges.

• The weather man

  He turned the Tate Modern into a dazzling sunset
  and has designed portable solar lamps for use in the third
  world. This autumn, Olafur Eliasson has a major exhibition in
  Stockholm. Nils Forsberg calls him up for a conversation
  about art, design and breakdance.

• Witchcraft

  In her work, Emelie Janrell is equally inspired by surrealism
  as by black magic. Bo Madestrand goes to see the fashion
  designer in her unbelievable backyard in Stockholm.

• Garden of Sweden

  Barking dogs, leaking wooden boats, black coffee
  and architecture without architects. Photographer
  Johan Fowelin left his safe urban lifestyle for an authentic
  rural experience. This is his story.

• Remember Grethe

  With her Firepot series, Grethe Meyer created an instant
  classic for the dining table. Still, she is primarily remembered for her
  collaboration with fellow Dane Børge Mogensen. Now is the time
  to rediscover her work, argues Bo Madestrand.

• Dragon’s Den

  Technology is like a dragon, says Erwan Bouroullec. ”The challenge
  is to be able to harness it”. Together with his brother Ronan,
  he has just designed a TV that is anything but an ordinary wallflower.
  Salka Hallström Bornold pays a visit to the leading stars of
  French design in their Belleville studio.

• Dream weaver

  Dorte Mandrup’s buildings embrace the user like a shell
  surrounds a snail. Rasmus Graakjær meets the Danish architect
  for a conversation about social architecture and the importance
  of giving something back to the city.

  Circular economy is the new buzzword in the design industry.

  new jobs and new money.

• Happy people

  Every seventh year he closes the office and
  goes on a sabbatical. Stefan Sagmeister likes to do things his
  own way. Salka Hallström Bornold shares a tiny sofa with the rock star
  designer on a terrace in Amsterdam.

• Shipwrecks on dry land

  €?It may still surprise the occasional tourist
  cruising out into the famous island kingdom to
  find a flooded luxury suburb where the boats
  are as supernaturally
  over-dimensioned as
  the houses.” Salka Hallström Bornold is tired
  of the behemoth architecture in Stockholm’s
  archipelago.

• All the World in a Design School

  An education system without fees for students has always been an extremely
  important part of the Swedish educational tradition. The decision to introduce
  tuition fees for so-called third-country students, i.e students who come from
  countries outside the EU / EEA, rejects this tradition in a substantive way.
