Frankfurter: A Chair That Is Both Ordinary and Remarkable

/

Frankfurter: A Chair That Is Both Ordinary and Remarkable Swedish design brand Blå Station introduces Frankfurter, a new chair designed by Johan Ansander. At first glance, it appears effortlessly simple, yet closer inspection reveals a considered focus on the human body, materiality, and proportion, resulting in a piece that feels both intuitive and quietly distinctive. A graduate of Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design, Ansander was recruited directly after completing his degree project and has collaborated closely with Blå Station since 2020. Their partnership is defined by trust, curiosity, and a shared commitment to long term exploration, allowing ideas to evolve through open dialogue and experimentation. In creating Frankfurter, Ansander sought a pared back form with a more tactile and bodily presence than his previous work. Inspiration came from the familiar curve of his own forearm, translating into generous volumes and a calm, cohesive silhouette. This sensitivity is particularly evident where the backrest meets the rear legs, a junction that balances structural clarity with gentle fluidity. Crafted from moulded beech, a Swedish wood commonly used in industrial production, the chair embodies durability on multiple levels. Designed for everyday life, Frankfurter is robust, resilient, and built to endure, drawing inspiration from the functional chairs of the mid 1930s that were created to withstand movement, use, and time without compromising comfort or form.Its name offers a subtle nod to history, while its expression remains firmly contemporary. Frankfurter does not seek to impress, yet through its restraint and honesty, it becomes something quietly exceptional. For Blå Station, courage is not an aesthetic statement but a working method. It is the courage to take time, to trust conviction, and to place the object above the ego of its creator. This philosophy, deeply embedded in the company’s identity, continues through its collaboration with Ansander, resulting in a chair that is understated yet purposeful, familiar yet meticulously crafted. Frankfurter stands as a testament to the belief that true courage is not about being the loudest, but about enduring the longest. Find the Frankfurter chair here  Image Courtesy of Blå Station

New Dawn: & Other Stories Pre-Spring Collection 2026

/

New Dawn: & Other Stories Pre-Spring Collection 2026 & Other Stories introduces its Pre-Spring 2026 collection, New Dawn, an edit defined by a sense of renewal, energy, and expressive individuality. The season explores a soft yet confident sharpness, combining layered styling with fluid draping and sculptural silhouettes. Through color, contrast, and thoughtful proportions, early spring is reimagined with a bold, contemporary attitude that feels both dynamic and personal. Styling is relaxed yet intentional, infused with vintage references and quiet confidence. Baggy trousers meet boxy knits, while tailored pieces with lowered shoulders soften classic lines. Layered jersey adds ease and movement, creating everyday looks with depth and character. Traditional ideas of workwear are deconstructed and rebuilt, reflecting modern perspectives on identity, femininity, and function. The result is a wardrobe that feels effortless yet carefully considered, with generous proportions lending a distinctly modern finish. Silhouettes move fluidly between structure and softness, from voluminous trench coats, sculptural blouses, and graphic knitwear to delicate silks and lightweight fabrics. Gathered details and new volumes introduce a subtle 1980s boldness, while double layered skirts and overlapping shoulders create nuanced shifts in proportion. The colour palette balances muted, earthy tones and soft greys with vivid accents of chartreuse, mint, and vintage yellow. Moss green and vibrant orange add striking contrast, forming a warm yet energetic spectrum that feels fresh, confident, and expressive. Materials play a central role, defined by transitional weights that bring versatility and depth to early spring dressing. Denim appears with a gentle sepia wash, softening its expression, while twill and fluid silk dresses add refined lightness. Texture and warmth are introduced through alpaca and 1980s inspired merino knits, creating a harmonious blend of structure and ease. Accessories anchor the collection with playful confidence and enduring practicality. Detailed leather shoulder bags and reimagined oversized totes bring structure, while new ballerina flats add a feminine lightness. Oversized sunglasses introduce a bold vintage note, contrasted by the clean simplicity of minimalist sneakers and derby shoes. Find the collection here Image Courtesy of & Other Stories

Galleri Glas presents the artist Maja Witt in the exhibition Nattbok – Dagbok.

/

Galleri Glas presents the artist Maja Witt in the exhibition Nattbok – Dagbok. Maja Witt, born in 1964, is a painter based in Gustavsberg, where she lives and works. Her practice is grounded in the tradition of painting while engaging freely with its contemporary possibilities. Witt’s work investigates space, structure, and materiality, allowing colour, fragmented form, and accumulated traces of time to meet in shifting, layered compositions. She holds an MFA from Konstfack and has also studied philosophical aesthetics and literary studies at Stockholm University. In Nattbok – Dagbok at Galleri Glas, Witt continues her exploration of painting’s liminal states, where material, memory, and time overlap and gradually dissolve into one another. By tearing away, relocating, and reinserting layers of paint into new works, she approaches painting as both an act of remembrance and transformation. Multiple temporalities coexist within these pictorial spaces. Something is in the process of emerging while something else has just begun to disappear. Fragments and remnants search for new constellations, and the painted surface becomes a site where colour simultaneously adheres and slips away. It is a space poised between language and silence, between thought and dream. Maja Witt has previously exhibited at institutions including Liljevalchs, the Nationalmuseum, Sven-Harrys Art Museum, Botkyrka Konsthall, and Vara Konsthall. Her work is represented in public collections such as Stockholm County Council, Mångkulturellt Centrum, and Sveriges Allmänna Konstförening. She has received grants from, among others, the Längmanska Cultural Foundation and BUS, and has been an artist in residence at Ricklundgården in Saxnäs.

Dior Presents New Book Cover Collection

/

Dior Presents New Book Cover Collection The Dior Book Tote continues to assert its place as a contemporary House icon, reinvented season after season. Designed by Jonathan Anderson, one of the new models takes its cue from Dior by Dior, the autobiography of the founding couturier. Rendered in a cream shade, the tote is embroidered with the book’s signature title, delicately accented by a pink ribbon. This refined gesture marks the beginning of a line that pays tribute to other literary classics. Among them are Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert, Dracula by Bram Stoker, Ulysses by James Joyce, In Cold Blood by Truman Capote, Les Fleurs du Mal by Charles Baudelaire and Bonjour Tristesse by Françoise Sagan. Alongside these new interpretations, the Dior Book Tote is also presented in a vintage effect Dior Oblique embroidered canvas, framed with a border of delicate lace, a timeless House code. A navy blue tone on tone version is enhanced with a white medallion that echoes Dior’s emblematic chairs. Completing the selection is the Buttercup Garden print, a poetic composition of blooming buttercups that recalls Monsieur Dior’s enduring passion for flowers and gardens. Both elegant and functional, the Dior Book Tote is available in four sizes. The mini, small and medium versions are equipped with a shoulder strap adorned with the Dior signature, while the large version features a magnetic clasp. Inside, flat pockets are designed to hold everyday essentials. Finished with double handles and generous proportions, the bag is conceived as a versatile companion for daily life. An object of desire that brings together heritage and modernity, the Dior Book Tote will be available in stores from January 2026. Find the collection here photography Ivona Chrzastek
