Journaling and writing my books

In September 2018 the Global Woman book Scandinavia is launched, where I wrote a chapter, on the subject A New Paradigm for changing the world. And by the end of 2018 my new book Wholehearted will be launched!

My backbone

But what was obvious to me turned out to take a long time to reach the commercial market, which in turn demanded even greater innovation power. In 2009, I was awarded for this work, by the award of the Business Rookie of the Year, awarded by BRG and Entrepreneurs Västra Götaland, with the motivation: “Reflective Circle International with Josefin Lassbo has, with great creativity and power, broken new ground by combining fashion and design with ecological focus. ”

Stoff Design
Reduce-Reuse-Recycle
Stoff Design is a social company that I founded. The idea was based on a dual value-generating model, where fair trade crafts from Bangladesh were combined with Nordic design and social business locally.
