Välkommen på release för UrbnCal 2012, väggkalendern från Jollygoodfellow som nu är inne på sitt tredje år och sin tredje stad – Helsingfors! Esa och Lisa Tanttu, duon bakom Jollygoodfellow, har de senaste tre åren cyklat runt Stockholm, Köpenhamn och nu Helsingfors för att dokumentera städernas dörrportar. Dessa fotografier har de sedan använt i UrbnCal – en bild för varje dag, i väggkalendern ett litet utsnitt och hela bilden publiceras dagligen på UrbnCal.com.

På torsdag 13 oktober premiärvisas årets kalender på manos! Välkommen på finsk lakrits, äppelmust och vin, nu på torsdag kl 17-20.

We’re so happy to exhibit Daniel Reynolds ceramics at manos from September 29th until October 22nd. I got to know Daniel when I lived in London and had my workshop in the same charming victorian yard as him. Originally trained as a furniture designer, Daniel now makes gorgeous cast porcelain containers in the shape of cabbages, fennel, jelly moulds…

We’ve just unpacked a delivery from Växbo Lin, it is such a treat every time. Their beautiful products have such a special feel to them.

And I am in love with yet another towel of theirs… It’s named “Lilla Märta” (little Martha) and it is a small sized towel, exquisitely made of course and soft to the touch. I like the detail of the hanger which is integrated with the lines that make up the towels pattern, just beautiful!

Lisa Vilhelmson came by with a re-fill of her beautiful towel collection. She helped out with the June window display that can be admired here and here.

Lunch was dumplings from Beijing8 that just opened around the corner. What a treat! It was delivered beautifully and tasted fantastic – now I know what dumplings should taste like. Don’t miss this place if you’re in Stockholm!

The gallery page is updated with images that I think gives a feeling of early summer…

manos will be closed tomorrow, Thursday June 2nd as it is a holiday here in Sweden.

Camilla came with a big bag of wonderful prints, books and postcards. The postcards, which are a collaboration between Ana and Camilla, will soon be in the webshop (until then, see them on Ana’s blog).

We’re glad to have the spring collection from eco-children store nuno & dodo in the shop until the end of April. Come and touch, see and enjoy the beautiful fabrics, colours and textures from Selana, Shirley Bredal, matter of fabrics and Kidscase.

The happyconfused rattles are happy on one side and confused on the other – just how I feel sometimes
