Boston, baby!

Time for a roadtrip! This weekend will be spent roaming the old streets of Boston. Laters.

Byebye Brandkärr, hello Brooklyn!

Tomorrow I officially move from Nyköping, Sweden to Brooklyn, New York! Here are the answers to the questions I've been getting from most people:

1. No, I don't know where I'm going to live yet. I have one week booked at a hostel in Williamsburg and i'll start looking for a place to stay when I get there. All tips welcome!
2. Yes, I'm coming home to Sweden for Christmas. I haven't been this excited about Christmas since I was about 5!
3. The design agency I'm going to be at is called MSLK in Queens. They're about 6 people at the agency and work with beauty and fashion branding and are really into sustainable design. More to come on the agency when I get there of course!
4. My internship is about 3 1/2 months so I'll be coming home to Sweden again on March 20th to finish up the last two weeks of school and our final exhibition. After that I'm free to work!

I'll be updating on everything that's going on in New York so don't forget to check back now and then (or add me to your RSS feed). Laters!

Bauhaus Archive

Back from a few full-packed days in Berlin which was basically history lessons by day, grungy underground clubbing by night. Apart from all the amazing graffiti everywhere I would have to say that one of the most inspirational design elements was our visit to the Bauhaus museum. The Bauhaus school used to be one of the most influential schools of architecture, design, and art of the 20th century only operating from 1919-1933. The Bauhaus Archive now holds a collection of pieces produced at the school. One of my favorite designers, Josef Albers, was a student there.

Unfortunately we couldn't take pictures in the gallery, but here's the shop.

Jetzt fahre ich nach Berlin!

On Monday November 9th it's the 20 year aniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. That's where I'm going to be!
