A Journey
From Blekinge to Australia
May 20, 1938 went the sisters Lisbeth and Greta Listervik out for a walk around the world. The trip went through Europe, Persia and India before they finally came to Australia where they couldn´t come further due to the war. In Australia they worked as wedding photographers, decorators, truck drivers and fabricants before they came back to Blekinge in the end of 1940’s.
During the same time Greta and Lisbeth went out for their trip, was the Nostalgi shelf set in production. Designed by Gunnar Bolin. The Nostalgi shelf is and has been a bestseller over the years and decorates many walls around the world.
From Haparanda to Ystad
The reason behind how the Swedish cycling race from 1951 entered the history books was because of the long-bearded man Gustav Håkansson. He was considered too old for the competition but cycled the whole route from Haparanda to Ystad anyway. After days on the bike he arrived at the destination almost a day before the competitiors in the race. Since that day he became famous as the ”supergrandpa” of Sweden.
During the same time the Classic hat and shoe rack came into production. Designed by our own supergrandpa - Gunnar Bolin. The rack has been a bestseller over the years and decorates many homes from Haparanda to Ystad.
