“I lost my heart to disco a few weeks after I’d become a teenager. It was a very cold night in January, 1979. I lived in a small town in Sweden, where there wasn’t much entertainment. I had a transistor radio, but there was a state monopoly on broadcasting, with only two hours of pop every week. That winter night, a bit past midnight, I discovered a local pirate station. And for the first time in my life I heard songs like ‘Le Freak’ and ‘In the Bush’. It was a completely overwhelming cultural experience.” Olof Olsson

Olof Olsson, konstnär baserad i Köpenhamn, har gett sig ut på Europaturné med sin performance/föreläsning kring discomusikens historia och dess ursprung som ett politiskt uttryck för kärlek och jämlikhet. Nästa stopp är Malmö och Signal – Center för samtidskonst där Olof Olson kommer att spela upp musikaliska exempel och reflektera över deras roll och betydelse för discons utveckling och förfall.

Olsson bor i en etta i Köpenhamn tillsammans med 6000 vinyl skivor – övervägande disco. Han har studerat filosofi, språk och översättning vid Lunds universitet samt konst vid Det Kongelige Danske Kunstakademi i Köpenhamn. Under 1980-talet var han en frekvent DJ på piratradiostationer.

I butiken på Grynbodgatan finns nu en uppsättning unika skjortor.
Tygerna kommer från ett litet italienskt väveri och finns endast i ett exemplar av varje.

Thank you everyone for another great year! We are very thankful for all your support and as well inspiration which you constantly send our way. We can't wait to share all the craziness of 2010 with you, there will be some surprises...to be continued!

To make sure our garments keep their maximum durability we've brought in Classic's program of laundry detergents. The Danish brand has an environment-friendly thinking from recyclable packing to biodegradable content. The detergents are highly concentrated and therefor use small packings. They are astma- and allergic preventing as well as not tested on animals. No materials or colours which only have a cosmetic value are added. They are PH-neutral. For our denim we suggest Classic Cottonwash which is colour protective and doesn't require a rinser. For the wool garments we recomend the Classic Woolwash which is merciful against the fine cripmy fibers and can be used for both machine - and hand wash. The detergent contains proteins to prevent the wool from felting.

We’re delighted to be featured on De Jeunes Gens Modernes. Check it out here.

Due to a demand Jonas Liveröd will be releasing limited editions of selected drawings. Every second month a new drawing will be released in an edition of 30, signed and numbered.
First out is Museum (Swarming spaces) where the original drawing is part of the Ystad Museum of Art collection (see image above). For those interested, check it out under editions on www.jonasliverod.com

Sheep have existed in Europe and Asia for 2,5 million years and the wool is considered to be our oldest textile material. You may look at the wool as nature's own functional material: It's elastic and can be stretched out up to 70% beyond its normal length and still regain its original shape. It can absorb dampness up to 30% of its own weight and yet feel dry and warm the body. The crimpiness of the fiber bind great amounts of air which reduces the transmission of heat from the material and isolates against both warmth and cold. The creatine in the wool brakes down smelly germs from the skin and the material is self-cleaning. This means you are not supposed to wash wool garments often, but air them preferably in humid weather since water vapour will remove dirty particles. The merino sheep descends from Northern Africa and came to Spain somewhere around the end of the 12th century. The legend is that the name came from the king's sheep inspectors called "merinos". The merino wool is fine fibrous and is looked upon as one of the more exclusive versions of wool. It is used for fine knitwear, has some shine and doesn't prickle.
