DesignTorget

The main stereotype of the Swedes (excluding the chef in the Muppets) includes 'an eye for design' and this little shop celebrates that stereotype by standing on the roof tops, dropping its pants and screaming about it like Charlie Sheen on a bad trip.

Table after table of things that can't really be called 'gadgets' as they rarely have more than 2 or 3 working parts, but they are products that approach 'purpose' from a different angle.

My particular favourites were cable tacks that looked like leaves and little birds (great way of making trailing cables a feature) and some funky wall hooks. I spent ages in here just wandering around looking at all the products and even more time trying to figure out what some of them were for!

A must go in Stockholm - just like Vinçon is in Barcelona!! Almost like a (current) design museum but where everything is for sale!

The place to go if you need a present and have run out of ideas!

Great shop for gifts and quirky design things. The selection is very random and they have new things in all the time. Only downside I would say, is that it s very pricey.
