"-I don’t want to be boxed in; I’m a pretty free soul"

Monica Förster, one of Sweden’s leading interior designers, meets host Thommy Bindefeld to talk about her background, her collaborations, and her ambition to always add poetry to her design.

Raised in the small town of Dorotea, close to the Arctic Circle in the far north of Sweden, Monica has become one of the country’s foremost designers.

She has worked, and continues to work, with many of the most renowned international brands.

For the past ten years, Monica has collaborated with the Bosnian woodcraft company Zanat as Creative Director and designer.

"-I was more interested in fashion actually"

In this episode, ArtVox is proud to present the Swedish artist Cecilia Edefalk.

We visited her studio in Kärrtorp, Stockholm, to talk to her about her work, her life, and the experiences that have stayed with her over the years.

She shares memories from childhood and speaks about how August Strindberg became someone she found herself in dialogue with.

The conversation offers a intimate insight into one of Sweden’s most influential contemporary artists.
