I'm still not sure how to describe this place except to state that it's something of a hybrid…read morebetween an arts center and a shopping mall. At the same time, it really gives you a concentrated flavor of the Swedish modern design style most of us know only through trips to Ikea. It stands in a central area of Stockholm south of Sergels torg where the big, elliptical plaza sits with the geometric, black-and-white triangle design, a most arresting sight seen from the building's windows (photo: http://bit.ly/2aFTOud). If neither big Viking ships nor an ABBA tribute is your cup of tea, then I'd say this is a good place to chill during the day. A good portion of the center is devoted to performance venues like the Stockholm City Theatre, the Hörsalen lecture hall or the more club-like Kilen where young stand-up comedians perform. On the fourth floor is a children's library called Rum för Barn, where kids can hang and read books or listen to storytellers on kid-friendly couches. There's also a comic book library called Serieteket. Jamie W. and I strolled through the Design Museum which showed unique artifacts that gave way to bigger design trends (photo: http://bit.ly/2aWbJ0f). We were also particularly fascinated by an area devoted strictly to serious chess players (photo: http://bit.ly/2b24T9T). Definitely worth a stop.

The window decoration was something between fun colorful gadgets next to small holy figures of Jesus & Co. Well, they sell a mixture of everything I guess and if you love 'kitsch' you probably gonna kiss the floor first and feel like in heaven. In here you can find basic furniture to decorate your apartment, funny gadgets and gift ideas, a lot of mexican odds and sods (owner must admire Frida Kahlo) If I can remember well, I think the store had a very intense joss sticks or soup smell (can't remember).

But hey, it is random and one-of-a-kind, and worth a quick stop to simply enjoy its quirkiness!

Underbar välsorterad tebutik, grundad i Lund 1932 men finns idag även på tre platser (minst) i…read moreStockholm. Denna i hörnet på Odengatan/Roslagsgatan, vid Östermalmstorg och i Lidingö C. Förutom egna teer säljer de utvalda märken av hög kvalitet, ex Kusmi. Och kaffe förstås. Lundablandning är deras signaturte, finns både avart, rött, grönt. Inte en favorit hos mig dock. Däremot är deras gröna Fredagsmys fantastiskt gott (och jag gillar inte ens grönt te vanligtvis)! Dricker mest rooibos numera och då är deeas Vinteräpple, Rött julte, Rabarbergrädde, Mango-Passion, Kaktus-Apelsin och Kvitten-Vanilj mina favoriter. Till finbladigt rooibos-te är de lösa tefiltren överlägset bäst, de fångar upp minsta blad, vilket inte en vanlig tedil gör tyvärr. Svarta teer jag rekommenderar är tex Mammas Mirakel, Mambo Jambo, Earl grey Rose, Kanelbulle och Semla. Även stort utbud av te-tillbehör, godis, kakor (tyvärr dåligt med det veganska), fina muggar och koppar, tekannor och kökstillbehör. Mycket Marimekko och Mumin (inklusive tepåsar både svart och rött). Finns toppenfina färdiga presentförpackningar för teälskaren, eller så plockar du ihop din personliga korg. Här finns även fina tvålar och ljuvliga doftljus från Voluspa (veganska! och innehåller inte paraffin. Obs! köp dock inte de större ljusen i plåtburk om de inte har minst 3 vekar, det blir alldeles för mycket ljusmassa kvar i burken när veken brunnit ner då...) I coronatider har jag beställt allt mitt te från deras webbshop istället, supersnabb leverans och det har varit så mysigt att hämta ut de väldoftande lådorna på mitt lilla Coop. Tehuset Java har nu även ingått ett fint samarbete med Solvatten (uppmärksammad svensk uppfinning som renar vatten), ekologiskt grönt Sencha-te där en viss summa av varje köp går till just vattenrening. För mig smakar det gröna teet bara gräs, men smaken är som baken delad och visst finns det folk som gillar Sencha. Som ju bryggs vid just rätt gradtal för renat vatten, fiffigt va'?! För varje 2,5 hg te (eller kaffe) i lösvikt du köper får du en stämpel i samlarkort. När det är fyllt får du det 10:e köpet gratis. Glöm inte att be om det även om du handlar i webbshopen, bara att spara och lösa in när du har vägarna förbi en av de fysiska butikerna!
