Butiken Republiken just got this little sterling silver climber striving upwards and forwards.
It could be your companion and reminder for whatever your goals are.
It is called “Hanging Out” and is made by the silversmith Mira Erkens Lindroth of mira and mira. Available both as a necklace (as in the picture) and as a brooch. In store now and also available in our web shop.
]]>Republiken Zoological Society is experimenting with different building systems and invite you to step into a world of light and geometric creatures.
We are building with Polygo Play; a system of flat building pieces and Strawbees; a system of drinking straws coupled by connectors. What these building systems have in common is that they have been developed to create geometric sculptures.
The aim with this exhibition was to explore a geometric fauna of creatures, seen and unseen by mankind possible to build when these two different building systems are bridged.
We invited illustrators, designers and other creatives to build creatures with Polygo Play and Strawbees in a series of workshops.
This resulted in a bunch of cute, strange, and fun looking sculptures. Republiken, not only a design studio, but now also a zoological society, have taken on the task to map out and name these never before seen creatures by scientific names.
Thus, we have explored the world of creatures, seen and unseen by mankind. You are very welcome to see these creatures exhibited in a landscape of geometric light sculptures.

Sections from four drawings. “Maybe I can sometimes see things and living beings through other glasses and has since acquired the ability to depict exactly what I see when I draw" John Haga reflects.
John Haga är bosatt i Sundsvall. John Haga är ett alias för Håkan Johanson. "Ett sätt att hålla isär min tillvaro. Jag använder namnet John Haga när jag är musiker och konstnär. John Haga ägnar sig bara åt konst och musik och inget annat. Håkan Johanson är resten. Har familj. Ett hus. Har jobbat som radioproducent och reporter i många år. 20 år åt UR, innan dess åt SR. Även jobbat som skådespelare. Utbildade sig en gång i tiden på Dramatiska Institutet”, säger John Haga. I Sundsvall har John Haga studio och ateljé. I ateljén gör han oljemålningar och tuschteckningar. "Kanske kan jag ibland se saker, ting och levande varelser genom andra glasögon och har sen skaffat mig förmågan att skildra exakt det jag ser när jag tecknar", reflekterar John Haga.
While we make room for new inventory, parts of the “To the Wild” exhibition, which opened as part of Stockholm Design Week in February, is still displayed in the store. “To the Wild” is a tribute to the wild and displays Polygo lamps created by designer Jakob Uhlin surrounded and supported by objects that we associate with wildness and wilderness.
