ALLTET – A Sanctuary for Wellbeing in the Heart of Stockholm text Jahwanna Berglund Wellbeing has often been labeled a trend, but in reality, it is a necessity – something we should all prioritize in our daily lives. At a time when life moves at a relentless pace, ALLTET is opening on Sveavägen in Stockholm, reminding us of the importance of slowing down, breathing, and caring for both body and soul.
 Founded by fragrance expert and therapist Reine Walfridsson, ALLTET is envisioned as a holistic sanctuary where boutique, studio, and spa intertwine. Here, the sense of smell takes center stage, not as a superficial luxury, but as a tool for recovery, creativity, and presence.
 Visitors are invited into a world of aromatherapy, clean beauty, and ceremonial cacao, alongside workshops, meditations, and therapeutic treatments. The interior, designed through color psychology and enriched with botanical details, enhances a sense of balance and calm.
 ALLTET is more than a destination – it’s an invitation to choose yourself, every single day.

EOE Eyewear unveils ‘Novel Frames’ – where design meets literature text Natalia Muntean EOE Eyewear is launching a new collection, Novel Frames, on September 1, 2025. Known for its sustainable approach and roots in the landscapes of northern Sweden, the brand adds a literary dimension to its latest release. The collection features select frames engraved with text excerpts from six renowned northern authors, merging storytelling with design. Divided into two lines, the collection includes a base range of timeless, understated silhouettes, alongside a limited special edition with sculpted words and inlays. Inspired by earthy palettes and natural forms, the frames aim to let wearers “see the world through the lens of literature.” The campaign was created by director and photographer Pelle Lannefors, who captured the cinematic spirit of the north. Analog portraits by Astra Olander Vanheesbeke and styling by Anna Sundelin ground the imagery in the rugged elegance of Swedish Lapland. Novel Frames will be available at selected retailers and online at www.eoe-eyewear.com starting September 1, 2025.

Baum und Etonic: A Fusion of Sport and Style text Ulrika Lindqvist Following their successful 2024 collaboration, the heritage sportswear brand Etonic and danish fashion house Baum und Pferdgarten reunite for a new capsule collection: Baum und Etonic. Founded in Massachusetts in 1876, Etonic brings its legacy as the world’s first sports brand into the partnership, which this season introduces four sneaker variations. Combining retro athletic influences with a modern, feminine edge, the collection highlights three silhouettes in fresh colorways: the Kendari and Dropshot—revived from the previous collaboration, alongside the brand-new Evolution model. Designed to complement Baum und Pferdgarten’s AW25 collection, the sneakers balance functionality with elegance, adding a playful and sporty contrast to skirts and dresses. The palette draws directly from the season’s key tones: Baum’s signature blue, deep Italian plum, vibrant green and red accents, softened by off-white and grey neutrals. As a final detail, the sneakers, boxes, and dustbags are adorned with Baum’s iconic leopard print. The Baum und Etonic collection launches in four versions: Kendari in Wedgewood, Dropshot in Haute, and Evolution in both Wedgewood and Haute, blending sport and sophistication in equal measure.

PICK A POPPY AW25 Collection text by Ruby Rose In PICK A POPPY’s AW25 collection, the autumn table setting offers a warm tone of Swedish folk and deep shades. The collection presents new products in both ceramics and textiles – where classic shapes and symbols are given new energy with the help of patterns, embroidery and colour. As a novelty on the ceramics side, the brand’s iconic plate Bow is presented in a new rustic brown colour, as well as three smaller dishes in oval and round shapes with leaf-inspired motifs. The damson tablecloth gets new life in a green color and the rattan collection is expanded with two new wicker baskets in round and rectangular shapes. ‘We have let traditions bloom – literally. Tradition in Bloom is about taking what we love from the past and giving it new life with color, shape and joy,’ explains Sofi Engelbert Fahrman, Co-Creative Director at PICK A POPPY. At the center is the decorative tablecloth Suzani, inspired by the embroidered textiles and crafts from Central Asia. In PICK A POPPY’s interpretation, folk colors such as red, blue and forest green are added to the traditional pattern language – a way to unite worlds, while also celebrating craftsmanship. The embroidered linen napkin Bouquet is also presented in the same color scale and new floral motif. The plate series Cottage Flower is also expanded with an autumnal hand-painted floral motif. With the new collection Tradition in Bloom, PICK A POPPY invites you to an autumn where traditional craftsmanship, warmth and the community around the set table are in focus. All ceramics are made and painted by hand in Portugal. On the textile side, two new cushions with embroidered quotes are introduced – a playful and personal touch that adds a modern touch to the table setting and home. All textiles in the collection are produced using traditional block printing and embroidery techniques, handmade with care in Jaipur, India.
