Isak was brought to life by Swedish designer Sandra Isaksson. She was raised by a family of trolls in the heart of a Swedish forest. Blueber-rykissed; she sculpted clouds and painted rainbows, carved with wind and whittled snowflakes from skybears.
At Isak we are passionately design-ing and creating responsibly made and sourced products for the home. The Isak spirit is very much rooted in Sandra’s childhood memories of Sweden.
This spring season we have added some new and exiting designs. We hope that you will like our new products and join us on our journey towards beautiful happy things!
“Hello and welcome to spring at Isak! We’ve got some new lovely designs for you! Come take a look...”
a tingeling tingle taletingleby
Spring 2012
The sky let out a monstrous roar just before it let it’s hurried rain come gushing down on earth. Drops big as coins came bouncing off the roof tops; made muddy little rivers on the roads. The town-children put their faces into their hands as they pressed their noses close to the windows; the first one to spot the rain stop got a sweet. The first to spot the sun come out got two. The first to spot the rainbow got all the gold. If the wait was too lingering they lost their patience. If the smells from the oven became too tempting and the hunger in their bellies became too distracting they would leave their posts and come back later. At first tingle of a sun beam they all ran out onto their porches, sniffed the air and ran quickly, as fast as they could, out into the woods to grab their bows and arrows, their carts and dollies, their sticks and pebbles. All their childly treasures and worldly posessions. Then they would run. Run as fast as they could. The cart with all their things jumping up and down, toys flying off with high speed. Nails and worms flying out of the boys pockets as they ran, ribbons and seashells falling from the girls hair as they ran. Fast. So fast. Quick! Quick now! First to the gold is the winnest! As they got close there would always be slight confusion as to where the gold was and where the rainbow had disappeared to but then, there, all of a sudden; was the gold. With limbs heavy as potato sacks, minds jumping with new thoughts and bellies full of gold they all went to bed. First there was a tingle, it started at their feet. Travelled all the way up through their bodies and when it reached their faces it made them smile. With smiles on their faces, all the children of Tingleby fell asleep, exactly at the same time. They floated in and out of each others thoughts and travelled together into their imaginary land of dreams; continuing their adven-tures where the day time ones had ended. As the children grew older they would find it rather strange that rainbows always appeared on Saturdays and always after dinner. But these children hadn’t yet reached that age. These children were happy just to sit down on a moss clad rock and peel off the golden wrappers of their glistening chocolate coins.
“The dewdrops sighed and the mushrooms bowed under the grumbling sky in his fluffy coat of darkening clouds. All the little people scurried inside. ”

Five A Day Poster
At Isak we make beautiful happy things for the home because we adore thinking that - in a small way - we are creating a wonderful world for our families to live in. A world where our children can feel safe, loved and cared for. That is why we were so moved to be introduced to the work of Children on the Edge (COTE) and why we are so excited about telling you, our retail partners, about our new friendship. We donate £20 per Five a Day poster sold in our web shop and £5 per poster sold to other retailers.
