Founded only six years ago by husband and wife team Elin Kling and Karl Lindman, high-end womenswear brand TOTEME has ridden the wave of Swedish fashion’s global success with its clean understated silhouettes, gaining a discerning following both home and abroad. Still privately owned, the development of the coveted brand is tightly controlled, and it wasn’t until year that TOTEME opened its first standalone store in the heart of Stockholm. Still favouring the homeland over markets overseas, the brand has now opened a shop-in-shop on the premises of Nordiska Kompaniet, the Swedish capital’s leading department store. The design of the store, created by Swedish architect Christian Halleröd, acknowledges the building’s historic architectural identity by taking cues from the 19th century Vienna Secession movement, resulting in clear graphic accents and the bold use of natural materials. Furnishings are distinctly modern, comprising of sleek metal clothing racks and shelving, in addition to custom-made seating and displays upholstered in a striking black & white motif. The new TOTEME shop-in-shop carries an edited selection of seasonal collections, iconic garments, shoes and accessories.

Publishers Note
Just to be clear – superfuture® is a design blog and not a political commentator. No surprise there. The scope of our content has always been global and borderless, however that can often mean covering projects in countries where we will not agree with the politics or actions of those countries. In a world that’s as screwed up as ever right now, the focus of our support is to those designers, architects and other creatives who aim to make the world a more liveable one – as opposed to people that try their hardest to destroy it. So if a project hits our desk and we like it based on its design credentials, we may choose to publish regardless of its location or creators nationality. superfuture® has always been inclusive and hopes for all current wars, aggression, violence, hate and extremism to end.
