In our newest creative collaboration we joined forces with Studio Barnhus – a Stockholm-based DJ trio and record label. The result: a pair of limited edition L.S.B. (Love Studio Barnhus) Socks and an exclusive track, dedicated to fans of dancing the night away. Or, like the artists themselves tend to call it, ‘’an honest attempt at reaching the 7th level of consciousness or maybe even a portal to the sole’’.
With sustainability and functionality in mind, we decided to produce the L.S.B. socks in light and durable recycled polyamide that got a second life. This long-lasting material will survive many nights out. The socks provide light compression for perfect blood circulation, arch support, and reinforced heels and toes for maximum comfort and durability.
The Happy Socks X Studio Barnhus collab shows off two different designs in one pair. The left sock keeps it simple and sleek with embroidery, whereas the right one is exquisitely random with knitted designs.
You can also find them in our Happy Socks store in Östermalm, Stockholm, at StudioBarnhus.com, and at selected retailers such as APlace and Caliroots.com.
We met with the three artists behind the ‘’sock for all your toes at once’’ to chat about their creative process and decode some cryptic messages that seem to be hidden in the sock design and the video to the track.
Hi guys! Let’s start with deciphering your mysterious statement about the 7th level of consciousness and your design being a portal to the sole…
How does the design reflect who Studio Barnhus collective and its members are?
Can you tell us more about the idea of mismatched socks and explain the story behind the prints? Are tomatoes the villains? Are aubergines innocent? So many questions!
What was your artistic process while working on the design? How did you consider everyone's opinions?
Is working on a sock design different to working on a music track?
How did you decide to name the socks L.S.B. and what is it that you three, and the fans, love about Studio Barnhus?
What about the music video - what was your creative process? And, even more importantly – how did it feel to be a tomato?!
Tell us more about the track itself, how do the music and the sock designs complement each other?
The summer is coming, and with it (hopefully!) loads of long nights to dance away. In 5 words, describe the perfect Studio Barnhus party vibe.
