On the couch with Stina Lönnkvist
Stina Lönnkvist is one of the co-founders of the skincare brand MANTLE and an expert in color analysis. Stina's home reflects her unique style and sense of design, which is evident in her choice of interior design. At home, Stina enjoys vinyl records like Khruangbin and Aristocats, and her daughter Blue makes her extra happy. Meet her here.
What made you choose this particular sofa from MELIMELI?
I wanted the most comfortable sofa in the world. So comfortable that you want to sleep on it. And be able to curl up with the whole family. But it also needed to be stylish!
If you could invite anyone to dinner in your home, living or dead, who would you choose and why?
I would like to invite Estée Lauder. An icon in the beauty industry who built an empire, among other things, she is said to have pioneered free samples to attract new customers.
I would like to talk to her about the beauty industry - and hear what she would think of MANTLE.
Which song or artist is most played in your home right now?
Right now we like to play vinyl records, both new and old. Mostly Khruangbin, James Blake, Dire Straits - or Aristocats, which my daughter likes.
What makes you happy on a normal day at home, and what is your go-to activity when you want to unwind?
My daughter Blue makes me the happiest! To unwind, I love to take a sauna - and dream of having a sauna at home one day.
Do you have a secret talent?
It may not be a secret anymore - but I'm really good at color analysis.
Stina's sofa is the model Luca Grande in Off White, you can find it here.
