The Vit Design site is all in Swedish, so I can't read a single thing on it -- but I can still drool over this beautiful lighting. (Those Swedes just do white and ethereal so well, don't they? In fact, every last thing on the site is white -- hey, so maybe vit means white in Swedish.) Above: Flower Pendant, 2,900 Krona (about $479)
Nightfly Pendant, 2.250 Krona ($371)
Fly Rektangel, 2,500 Krona ($413)
I did manage to figure out that these were designed by former in-house IKEA talent Catarina Larsson, but that's about it. I also have no idea if Vit offers international shipping, but it's certainly worth a try. (Any Swedish speakers out there willing to translate for us?) I'm pretty sure you'd need to rewire these to U.S. code, but in my experience that's a simple, $30 job at your local lamp-repair shop.

I can't personally translate it but don't forget I live with a Scandi...I can have it translated...for a fee....mwa ha ha
I'm always amazed at how many european designers and boutiques are not set up for the American market or don't have translated website.
Well, I guess there's a whole other world out there -- we're just a big, bullyish part of it.

Hi there! It says on their site that you can contact them at info@vitdesign.se for information on international shipping, so I guess it could be arranged. Otherwise, just contact me and I'll buy the stuff you want for you, for a small fee... :-)
Thanks, Emma!
I can't get that Flower pendant out of my head, so I may just take you up on the offer!
And everyone, if you like Scandinavian design, do NOT miss Emma's blog -- called, appropriately, emmas designblogg. Emma's a Swede with a fantastic eye for design, and she writes in English! Can't beat that.

Hi Leah!
Your guess on vit meaning white is correct :)
We're glad you like our site, we've been working really hard on it (we are three guys working besides our studies with this).
By the way, we didn't have any info@vitdesign-address before, but we have now introduced one, so you are welcome to try contacting us again if you already tried.
Best wishes!
