Domestic Science: Iris Hantverk
February 26th, 2008
From Sarah:
Never has scrubbing floors seemed so attractive. Swedish company Iris Hantverk’s handcrafted products for the bath and home rely mostly on traditional materials such as horsehair, oak, and birch, and the production facility employs visually impaired craftsmen from a range of cultures. If you cannot quite swing a visit to the stores in Stockholm or Malmo, find the goods online at iris.se; select items are also available through Hen and Hammock in the UK.

Iris isn’t a she, you know. She’s a company, or a charity, or some Scandinavian combination, and the hantverk is a project of theirs. But the brushes are deeply pleasing and last for a very long time or until someone pinches them because of uncontrollable coveting. You can get them from labour and wait too.
