Swedish Home/Office Style

We love the simplicity & timelessness of Swedish design, and in case you haven't guessed, we just love creating every-day-use stationery, home/office objects and gorgeous gifts that bring a sense of fashion & style to every-day life.

It started as a dream - to create something I was totally passionate about. Now it's a global journey - with a wonderful creative team - to provide ranges of inspiringly unique home & office stationery solutions. Products that help make the workspaces we use - and our lives in general - both stylishly inviting and positively productive.

With an innovative and fashionable collection of complementary stationery products such as diaries, calendars, classic storage boxes and more, our aim is to help you achieve that fantastic feeling of well-being that comes with being organised and in-control - with style.

At kikki.K, we see being organised as being more than just 'finding things quickly' or 'getting more done'. We believe it's about improving the quality of our lives by saving time, freeing up energy for things that matter most, stimulating creativity and helping us feel good inside.

Call it good feng shui or plain common sense - the message is the same: if your home/office is organised, stylish and inspiring - your state of mind will be the same.

And what a fantastic feeling that is!

 

The kikki.K story

When Swedish born Kristina “Kikki” Karlsson decided to set up a home office almost ten years ago, she couldn’t have known where that decision would take her. Today she is the creative director and founder of international fashion stationery label kikki.K – Swedish Home/Office Style, with rapidly growing retail boutiques in Australia, New Zealand & Singapore, and not to mention a stylish online store.

As she set about establishing her home office, Kristina struggled to find beautiful and stylish products which she had grown used to in her native Scandinavia. So she designed her own. By combining her appreciation of design with her love of stationery, the business was born. And today, thousands of stationery devotees around the world incorporate kikki.K’s designer products into their lives.

From first identifying a gap in the home office market, Kristina’s journey included a buying trip around the world, and extensive market research. Findings overwhelmingly revealed that Kristina wasn’t the only one having trouble combining form with function in her home office. While decorating one’s home in stylish products and furniture was a priority, the home office was so often forgotten. This was about to change.

In 2001, Kristina opened her first boutique in Melbourne Central. kikki.K, named after her childhood nickname and last initial, was an immediate success, striking a chord with Melbourne’s design-conscious. Not long after, the boutique was named Melbourne’s Most Innovative Store by the Lord Mayor.

By 2005 there were kikki.K boutiques in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. The following year saw incredible growth with eight new boutiques opened, including the first foray into the international market in Auckland, New Zealand. And the business continues to expand each year.

The speed at which this young business has grown, and continues to grow, is testament to Kristina’s determination and self belief.

kikki.K’s success has not been lost on the Australian business community. Kristina has twice been a finalist in the Telstra Business Woman’s Awards, has been named Young Entrepreneur of the Year by Women Chiefs of Enterprise International, was named Most Successful New-Comer in the Swedish Business in Australia Awards, and was recently named Best Small Business in the Ethnic Business Awards.

So nine years after her original idea, Kristina has her home office sorted.

Now she’s focused on yours.
