Despite checkered jackets being everywhere this season, it's always been a British style staple. A classic wardrobe will carry you longer than one or two seasons. I try to build my style on solid, lasting pieces, with a trendy piece thrown in here and there to spice it up.

When I designed the Första collection, I was very clear on the fact that I wanted this to be an eternal collection, something that I myself would love to wear day-in and day-out, and that wouldn't date.

What are your forever-favourite pieces?

A few months ago, I met with Emmanuelle from The Glam Observer at my local Danish spot, Ole & Steen. We sat on the terrace, and talked business, bloggers, and jewellery.

Have you tried mixing your metals, wearing silver and gold at the same time? I did just that with the Felice Dahl Ljus collection. Now, if you're dedicated to just silver or gold, these designs are now available online for you too! Check them out here.

A strong Swedish home tradition is to have a candle at the centre of the dining table. Just one, glowing steadily, will do! Embrace the classics, such as the Koholmen Kerosene Lamp or Skultuna Office Candlestick , or opt for a modernist take on it, like the Ilse Crawford for Georg Jensen candleholder, the cozy effect will be the same.
