DEMOCRATIC DESIGN

 

Fjällräven with his Kankon rucksack has been on a first-name basis with all of the Sweden for some time, but it´s seems now, as if they are with whole of the world.  Everybody knows `the Fox`.

Since I purchased my second Kanken earlier this autumn, I thought it would be perfect to write   about it! I got my first Kanken in 1998, when I came to Norway and I was hooked from the beginning. It is one of those perfect democratic designs: everyone can afford it, questions elitism, break social barriers, empower individuals and possess a rare beauty and charm.

It´s modest and human … well, lets say ´almost human´.
