In my work, I want to join simplicity, function and aesthetics. A jar with a lid is a jar with a lid. But there must be warmth, thought and idea and poetry behind it, Ingegerd explains. Ingegerd Råman

I rarely find an individual designer that really impresses me. That the designer is nice too, is even more rare, but Ingegerd Råman is one of them. She’s also completely without prestige and doesn’t seem to try to be something she isn’t. And why should she? What she is is something really rare in designer Sweden.

Usually a vase or a lightbulb is just what it seems to be, but in the hands of Råman, the glass turns into art. Her designs are simple but still really unique. Pure elegance.

The floor is creaking slightly. I look around to see if someone is behind me, but I can’t see anyone. Even though I’m used to it by now, I stand up and look around in the empty library. Yes it’s empty despite the fact that I can hear the faint sound of footsteps. …or am I only imagining things?

Could someone be hiding behind one of the bookshelves? I shrug and decide to go back to what I was doing. It’s one of the calmer days.
Knowing that there are no such things as ghosts, I still check to position of the rocking chair when I come to work and when I’m leaving. Today is no different, it’s moved again, not much, only enough for me to notice. Who’s been using it? No one knows.

The presence, if there’s one, isn’t threatening or scary. We’re sharing the library and if he, I get the feeling it’s a he, isn’t complaining, so why should I?

As of today, there’s a new fandom on my fan fiction site, The Fandom House! Wallander! So far there’s one story, but there will be three more once I’ve had time to translate them. The stories are based on the Swedish version, but naturally they will all be in English on that version of the site. There’s also one wallpaper based on the UK version and several based on the Swedish version.

I just started a new microcommunity! If you don’t know what that is, no wonder. Apparently, it’s something completely new. You’ve heard about Twitter? This is something similar. You just type in a short status update message to let your friends know what you’re up to. This particular community is about writing, naturally. About fan fiction and original fiction.

You’re welcome to come in and take a look:
