Exhibition: Stig Lindberg
"Stig Lindberg's (1916-1982) designs for household items – notably ceramics – are familiar to almost all Swedes, as are his illustrations to popular children’s books. The exhibition gives a picture of Stig Lindberg's work as an industrial designer during the latter half of the 20th century."
Stig Lindberg Exhibition at Nationalmuseum in Stockholm
A nice photo display of some of his works.
FYI: A funny thing happened yesterday...
They (my Wonderful new Danish readers) say that the third largest Danish newspaper Politiken (the paper issue) printed a link to our humble blog yesterday. Why?! you wonder and so did I. I, sort of, still do because I don't know in what context it was printed. Anyway, the link was to this particular post.
I just want to say Hej og velkommen to our new readers!
UPDATE: Reader Tue Kappel has been kind enough to scan the article for our reading pleasure. Here it is. Tusen takk, Tue!
By the way, who can identify the photo?

Music Video: 7 Zero featuring José González - Futures
"This low-budget video was done within just 2½ weeks for the planned DVD of Zero 7’s “The Garden”. The video visualizes crushed objects representing a diffuse future of wishes and desires which shape over time." Director Robert Seidel
Via Totally Flabbergasted
Music: Piero Umiliani
Piero Umiliani composed the soundtrack for Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso/Sweden, Heaven and Hell/Schweden - Hölle oder Paradies/ Sverige - Himmel eller helvete. It is typical laid-back lounge-style jazz-pop, á la 60s and 70s, often heard in European exploitation flicks of that era.
(The soundtrack of course contains the famous song "Mah-na-Mah-na"....)

""Mah Nà Mah Nà" debuted as part of Umiliani's soundtrack for the Italian
softcore pornography movie Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso (Sweden, Hell and Heaven)
(1968), a pseudo-documentary film about wild sexual activity and other behavior
in Sweden ("Mah Nà Mah Nà" played under a portrayal of lesbian BDSM in the
film). A soundtrack album, "Svezia, Inferno e Paradiso" was released in 1968"
