The Local Firm, Revisiting the Eastern Bloc

The Local Firm is a Swedish brand that is inspired by the vintage art and architecture of the former Eastern Bloc, particularly the German Bauhaus Movement.

Based in Stockholm, the Local Firm was launched in 2007 by Richard Hutchinson and Axel Nyhage as “a contrast of status” in garments and materials, which, combined, are then reinvented.

Like many Swedish designs, the Local Firm strives for wearability and functionality.

In additional to denim wear, the Local Firm produces fine eyewear.
