Falu Rödfärg is not just a house paint; it is Swedish cultural history in a can!

Originating from the copper mines of Falu Koppargruva, the characteristic red color has become a symbol of Swedish tradition. It's history can be traced back to the 16th century, and today it is as natural a choice for architect-designed houses and public buildings as it is for summer cottages and boathouses.

Wood is a living material, and just like linseed oil paints, this paint moves along with the material, allowing the wood to breathe, reducing the risk of rot, and adapting to the wood's natural movements in sunshine, rain, snow, heat, and cold.

The way we celebrate Midsummer today dates back to the mid-1800s, a time before urbanization when most of us still lived in the countryside. This is why this holiday is very much connected to rural life in Sweden and perhaps why Midsummer, for many, evokes a sense of national romanticism or nostalgia for something traditionally Swedish.

The image above shows a Midsummer celebration by the lake Roxen in Östergötland, Sweden, in 1903.
Before dancing away into the summer night, we just want to let you know our opening hours in the coming days.
