Katarina Rolf, owner and founder of Rolf and Friends, has always worked with arts and handicrafts. She started up on a small scale with a gallery/workshop in Birkastan, Stockholm. With passion and curiosity she developed the concept and created a lifestyle concept store, offering a mix of fashion, selected gift items, and interior design, as well as her hand-crafted ceramics.

After a few years, Katarina decided to start up a summer pop-up shop on Gotland. This turned out to be a great success and after two seasons she moved into the old Factory at Salthamn, which at the time had been ruined by a fire. With her store in Birkastan in Stockholm still in operation, the Gotland unit has become a destination itself on the Island and has made her business brand grow even more. With the latest addition of an art Gallery, Rolf & Friends offers even more for its customers to enjoy.
