Indiska is a Swedish chain store specialized in products made in India. They opened their first shop in and have since then flourished all over the country. I personal love their interior collections.
They strive to become more and more ‘green’: using organic cotton in their jersey collection and woven home wear. Making recycling pieces like bowls of paper och candle holders of old cans. They do not use fur but is still using leather which i hope they will stop doing soon, the origins of the wood comes from approved plantations by the state and they don’t use merino wool from Australia.
Its so nice to receive mail…I mean real mail…in the mail box…from the post office! We should go back to being old school once in a while. And it would be so much easier with the help of Letters Lubell stationary. Adorable!
Its late. My boy just went of to sleep and I had a cup of cerial infront of ETSY. Thank god for ETSY! Who ever had that idea really really got lucky. Anyhow I love to see how many creative people there are out there and this is one of my favorite places for that. Allthough its not allways ‘green’ materials there are 3 basic rules to participate in ETSY: handmade, vintage or selling craft accessories…so its all about back to basic and supporting the artist. And a lot of them still use organic cottons etc so…
Es ya tarde. Mi niño se fue a dormir ya hace un rato y yo aqui estoy con un bowl de ceriales delante a ETSY. Ah menos mal que exciste ETSY! La persona que ha tenido la idea da verdad ha tenido suerte! A mi me gusta ver lo que hace toda esta gente creativa que esta ahi en el mundo y esto es uno de los mejores sitios para verlos. Non usan siempre materiales ‘ eco ‘ pero ETSY tiene 3 reglas basicas para poder vender ahi : los productos tienen que estar hecha a mano o ser vintage o puedes vender material para la gente que hacen cosas hecho a mano asi que es volever al principio y dar la oppurtnitad al artista. Y para vostra info, tanta gente usan en sus collection algodon organica etc asi que os lo recomendo.

Smart homes:We dont want the speaking fridge but what we do applaude it when service, technique and care goes hand in hand. For example, alarms, locks and surveilance is taken care of and superviced from you mobile and can be stored in your computer. A heating system that regulates itself dipending on the needs of the owner. A system that works remote controlled with one device for all the entertainment in the home such as tv and internet.
Green thumb: The intrest for gardens and greens are enourmous and you dont need to live in a villa in order to live out your passion for getting dirt under your nails! The new trend is urban farming, comunity farming and farming on your balcony. You want to grow your own veggies!
Energy efficiant: Houses that are so well isolated that they in principle does not use any energy at all. More people are looking to produce their own energy through suncells, using the wind etc. Heating is done with the help of sun catchers and pellets. New EU directives makes demands that makes it allmost impossible to build houses that are heated with electricity – practically banned
Flexibility: If you are one week a big family with 4 kids and every other week just 2 adults then it would be good to be able to open up or seperate room for example with movable walls, sliding doors and hidden sleeping cots. Today in Sweden the norms and rules of reconstruction your house are very details and complicated and puts a stop to all personal solutions. Read the rest of this entry »
