We are designing a rug for London design fair. Today deciding on colors... How about this combo? #londondesignfair2017 #ldf17 #inspiration#rugdesign #colors #woolblend
Today is the final day we are all gathered at the studio before the summer vacation. Wrapping up projects, like the new website that Kristin and Sara have been working with and that we'll be launching at the end of today! Then Kristin is going South Africa to participate in the project Change by Design, Sara will be enjoying the summer in Italy and myself... looking forward to catching up on some reading in the hammock! Happy summer to you all! / Petra
As a part of redefining the Petra Lilja design studios core values, a fresh website was needed. We have translated the new philosophy into a new website and new graphic profile for print and web. The new look aims to be more accessible and easy to navigate on mobile as well as bigger screens.
We hope you like it!
In the same place, a year ago, we asked the question, "What the hell are you doing here?". This led to a series of exciting talks in the smithy about what the craft and art work for today, about what design and mass production means to us. We get cheap goods while losing influence over production and have side effects like environmental degradation.
In one year we have four meetings, asked questions, deepened the discussion and initiated dialogue with the Region Museum in Kristianstad and Österlen Museum. One question that interests us is how the bigger context looks like we act in.
We now invite all who think smedjan is an exciting place, which has something to tell, or just curious about our questions, for a dinner to continue with the conversation with us.
Visitors are invited to the simpler dinner smedjan in Gislöv together with:
Gunnel Pettersson, artist (Glimminge)
Petra Lilja, Industrial Designer (Malmö-Glimminge)
Amit Sen, musician and artist (Hammenhög)
Kristofer Åberg, Forge and Designer (St Olof)
Location: Skånes Building Center Gislöv 2012, Simrishamn
Collaboration with Gislöv's Wrought Museum and Byagille

Aiming to make even more bold and fun unpredictable design in unique or limited editions for the future. Read more >>>

Today we took part of the exhibition Wanderlost in Kristianstad. Through moving image, text and audio Petra Lilja design studio has been exploring sugar with the starting point in the sugar beet as a historically important symbol of agriculture and industry in Scania, southern Sweden. The research based material was then combined with the method of writing constrains in a series of word collages as well as image collages. The exhibition showed a movie and a printed material.

The invited design researchers will do talks, workshops, installations or activist-events open to the public. By facilitating these meetings the aim is knowledge making and creative exchange between the participants / visitors.
Going into the second part of the seminar series Design Research in the Gallery, it can be confirmed that the aim of knowledge-making and creative exchange have been successfully met in the first five seminars. During the fall of 2016 the series will continue to explore the junction between design research, the gallery and the home – materially, verbally and in action, through the work of four new researchers.
The series starts on September 4th with Gunnel Pettersson, artist and senior lecturer at the School of arts and Communication (K3) at Malmö University. Link for more detailed information.
