A book about the clothes firm Mah-Jong (1966-1976) who were strongly opposed to the Vietnam war and Sweden’s seamstresses low wages. The designs stood out for their bold colours, soft fabric, unisex ideal, ethics and politics. Mah-Jong didn’t give a face to the Swedish youth revolution but it certainly gave a look it. And for this it was either loved or hated.

The book was part of an exhibition ‘Pret-a-protester’ which was produced in cooperation with The Textile Museum in Borås and toured Sweden until the end of 2005.

Swedens first self adhesive stamps were made with the idea that you should be able to let the reciever know about your weather situation by just using a stamp. Is it cloudy, stormy, raining or even rainbows. Tell it by using a stamp. A self adhesive stamp even.
