Our Story

Astrid and Sven Hemlund have run this little lighting shop in Stockholm's Old Town since 1979. For forty-six years they have filled homes with warm, gentle light for the long dark evenings of the North.

Here the winters are long and the evenings start early. People never fought the dark. They made it warm: a lamp in the window, a soft pool of light to gather around while the snow came down.

Astrid pleats and finishes every fabric shade by hand, one at a time. Sven wires, tests and packs every lamp. Their lamps are cordless and rechargeable, with a warm glow you can dim right down to a candle.

Now, after forty-six years, Astrid and Sven are closing the shop. Everything that is left is marked down. When the last lamp ships, they will turn the lights off for good. We would love for a little of that Northern warmth to live on in your home.

With warmth,
Astrid & Sven Hemlund
