Inspired By Swedish Design
I hope this post finds you enjoying the endless inspiration of spring. From a sourcing trip in Texas to launching my spring collection on Molly Solich Studio, this season has been full of rewarding, creative work.
In today's note, it is my pleasure to introduce some new inventory pieces including a crowd favorite: the Swedish Daybed. Along this theme, you'll also find some inspiration from the 18th century of Swedish design.
The Spring Collection
Taking inspiration from my home in the mountains and the joyful anticipation of spring, this collection features unique upholstery, garden elements, and special seating.
Collection Feature: The Swedish Daybed
Late 18th Century/early 19th Century Swedish daybed.
The Swedish golden age for furniture and interiors started around 1750 and lasted about 70 years, primarily during the reign of King Gustav III. Although Swedish designs were restrained, they were well-executed and expertly crafted using locally-sourced woods of birch or, as in this case, pine.

The Porcelain Kitchen, Tureholm Castle, Sweden, 1746
Transportive and opulent, the ‘porcelain kitchen’ may just be my favorite room of all time. Located in the Tureholm Castle south of Stockholm, this kitchen was painted from the floor to ceiling with blue and white chinoiserie by artist Carl Fredrik Engelkrona.
The Bielke family used this luxury kitchen as a showroom for their priceless collection of China. The functional kitchen was in an entirely different wing of the castle.
