 Modern Swedish design |

Design House Stockholm was started in 1992 with the aim of introducing Swedish designs to an international market. The project was obviously a success as now its products are found in every Conran shop as well as the MoMA shop in New York. Several reasonably well-known Swedish designers work for Design House Stockholm and you can find the best range of their products at their flagship store in Stockholm. Glass, textiles and china are some of the items on offer. They also sell some of their own products here. Review © 2007, Wcities |

A Swedish Classic |
Strandvägen 5 Stockholm 114 84 Sweden +46 8 670 1600 http://www.svenskttenn.se |
Svenskt Tenn is as natural a part of Swedish design as the herring is of the smorgasbord. The company was started by Estrid Ericsson in 1927. During the 1930s, she worked with the Austrian architect Josef Frank, and together they developed the store's philosophy: a home is never complete-it is under constant development. It was Josef Frank who designed the famous patterns filled with insects, flowers, birds and trees that have been synonymous with Svenskt Tenn. The store offers textiles, furniture, lamps and gifts. There is something for everyone, regardless of whether you like cool, or a more classic style. The prices are high, but everything is of top quality- from candy to couches. You can purchase wedding gifts also. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 Kungsholmen's own brewery |
Svarvargatan 7 Stockholm 112 Sweden +46 (0)8 650 5049 http://www.nilsoscar.se/ |
Kungsholmen is one of the few neighbourhoods in Stockholm which can boast of its own brewery. Known as Tärnö Bryggeri since it was bought over by Tärnö Säteri, it is a great place for a couple of beers with friends. The entire beer production process, from growing of the grain to preparation of the actual beer, is carried out here. Lundgren's Lager, with the famous fury snowman logo, is not only the brewery's first product but also its most famous. Review © 2007, Wcities |
 Preserved 17th century ship |
Galärvarvsvägen 14 Stockholm 11521 Sweden +46 (0)8 5195 4800 http://www.vasamuseet.se |
In 1628, the highly-decorated warship, Vasa sailed from Stockholm on her anticipated maiden voyage and sank. However, three centuries later, in 1961, Vasa was discovered and salvaged, and is now the world's only preserved 17th-century ship. It has now been converted into a museum. The cleverly constructed museum allows you to view it from six levels. The history of the ship is documented with slide shows, movies and exhibitions. Information is available in 10 different languages. Check the website for admission prices and other details. Review © 2007, Wcities |
