Do we still need to introduce IKEA? The Scandinavian chain, well known by the general public, which offers furniture in kit form (which sometimes causes a few cold sweats during assembly) and home decoration items in large warehouses often located on the outskirts of cities.

Kaolin was formed in 1978 when a group of potters got together and started a cooperative and store. The name Kaolin refers to China's Gaolin Mountain, where kaolin was once found in both clay and glaze. Today, thirty-five years later, Kaolin is a gallery specializing in Swedish ceramics and presents itself as a meeting place for art associations, collectors and pottery enthusiasts. A delight even for those unfamiliar with the craft.

Specializing in contemporary Swedish ceramics, Blås & Knåda is a ceramics gallery and boutique. Translated into French, the store is called "Souffler & Pétrir", in reference to the artisanal techniques of ceramics. You can see the work of many different artisans, with quite different styles, which means there's something for everyone, sold at varying price levels, enticing you to explore, among the shelves and display tables. A fun store for unusual gifts!

In the cute red wooden house with green shutters that marks the corner of Bondegatan and Södermannagatan, artist Anne Junsjo exhibits and sells her beautiful ceramics. Pastel colors, animal or abstract shapes, boxes and jars are mixed on the shelves, and if you are lucky enough to pass by during opening hours, you will surely find a small souvenir to take home, after having learned from Anne some of the manufacturing secrets. A real gem of Södermalm, reducing the grandeur of the city to a familiar scale.
