About Me

My name is Chris and I live in Sweden. I love the 50s and 60s lifestyle and design. I am very fascinated by the architecture of the period too, for instance googie, modernism, the work of Joseph Eichler, John Lautner and Arne Jacobsen's international style. I have a large archive with space-age, library, bossa, cocktail, retro soundtracks and exotica music. I also believe that things were better in the old days.

If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?

I would get drunk on Martinis and then fall asleep in my comfy pod on Saturn.
