A fifteen-minute ferry ride across glassy water and a veil of morning mist brings us to Asperö, one of the quiet islands scattered across Gothenburg’s southern archipelago.
This cluster of around thirty islands is home to some 5,000 people year-round. The weathered wooden houses, the stillness, and the ever-present sea create a rhythm of life that has long drawn people who value creativity, simplicity, and space.

For the past decade, Catarina Skoglund has made this island her home with her family. An interior stylist by trade, she shares glimpses of her world through @annacate — a visual diary marked by authenticity, distinct aesthetic and a deep sense of place.
