Founder Ulrika Bergman is a spirited collector, seller, and designer of retro interior design items who likes to re- and upcycle interior design items neglected by others. In summer, she’ll tour the thrift shops and flea markets of the Swedish countryside and make serious bargains. She’s used to catching strange looks for her enthusiasm about finds that may seem unassuming to the untrained eye, but can make stunning design pieces when put it in the right aesthetic context. Luckily, that’s just her specialty.

Ulrika is particularly passionate about interior lighting, and has a respectable collection of stunning retro lamps. Not only that, she has a keen eye for original compositions—she’s known to find funky lamps on offer in second hand shops, scrap them for parts, then putting together her own pieces. Some of them can be seen below. Keep an eye out—if you’re lucky you might catch one up for sale on her site!
