Scandinavian Grace in Williamsburg

Scandinavian Grace is the brainchild of Swedish interior designer and FIT alum Fredrik Larsson.  The elegant and airy boutique features both classic and contemporary housewares, furnishings, gifts, toys and accessories from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and Norway. 

In addition to a regular selection of established brands such as Iittala, Normann Copenhagen, Stelton and Design House Stockholm, the space will also showcase the work of specific contemporary Scandinavian artists or designers.  From June 7 to August 30, Scandinavian Grace will exhibit Bangers, a series of photographs by New York-based Swedish photographer Annika Sundvik.

Annika Sundvik was born in Stockholm and lives in New York. She was previously the principal owner of Annika Sundvik Gallery in SoHo, and currently the principal owner of Good World Bar and Grill in Chinatown.  She is a partner in Damp Frog Productions, a digital and traditional mural color printing lab in New York.

In the spring of 2004, Annika set up her large-format camera alongside a traditional hot dog stand at a flea market on a farm outside Stockholm.  She exchanged
free hot dogs for a snap shot.  The result, entitled Bangers, is a collection of candid, compelling and colorful portraits taken with 4 x 5 negatives and printed 30 x 40.
