This Stockholm gallery offers high-quality, mostly Scandinavian, lighting, furniture, ceramics, glass and jewelry. The selection is large, varied, and of an extremely high quality. And navigation is a snap: click on a category, like jewelry, and all the thumbnails appear; click on them for enlargements, descriptions and prices. Sample offerings: ceramics from Gustavsberg of Sweden, including the famous Argenta series (teal green-glazed pottery with applied silver decorations) and later, earthier examples by mid-century designers like Carl-Harry Stalphane. Unfortunately, details can be scarce: a wonderful black webbed Eames chair was shown without any description of its materials or construction.

BEST: Intriguing surprises, like a leather jacket decorated and signed by Keith Haring in 1985.

WORST: Prices are quoted in Euro dollars, though a converter pops up.
