Our daily routine can often become dull and stagnant, sending us searching and scrolling for the next big thing. The Danish prefer to slow down and look inward, finding their everyday Hygge (pronounced hue-guh). Described as a feeling of coziness, familiarity, and intimacy, it encourages us to appreciate life’s simple pleasures. Whether it’s settling into the embrace of an armchair with a cup of tea or gathering around a warmly lit dinner table with family and friends, take a moment to embrace this all-encompassing Scandinavian sentiment.
The Spine Collection pays respect to the traditions of hand upholstering that Fredericia built its name on, but with an unexpected twist. The simple lines are intuitively familiar, while unorthodox details give the furniture a striking new aesthetic. Despite the contrasting elements, the top and bottom still merge into a balanced entity.
Neatly mouth blown glass and stylish processed metal give the design of the Miira 4 balance and depth. Soft Nordic light shines from the opal white glass and sets a mood for any room in which it is placed.
Unlike many of the sofas and easy chairs in Scandinavian design history, the Fly Sofa does not impose any particular posture onto the sitter. The seat itself is optimized for comfort, with loose cushions for the back that can be arranged according to the user’s own needs.
The interplay between positive and negative space is central to the In Between Chair. With a solid frame and optional upholstered seat, the chair encourages long, cozy dinners around the dining table, without compromising its light and elegant expression.
From Gubi, the Multi-Lite Pendant is endlessly versatile, featuring mobile shades that can be individually rotated. This offers the user the ability to create their own best light, whether it shines upwards, downwards, or asymmetrically.
The Grasshopper Pendant provides lighting in a modern and minimal vessel. Hang a few of them at any length to suit your needs and taste.
The Semi is an exceptional lamp, with the design based on two quarter circles placed back to back. The pendant has achieved icon status in Denmark, thanks to its distinctive arch-shaped shade, lightness of form, and timeless design.
A Nordic design classic, the North Sofa is both chic and versatile. The chunky stitching on the armrests emphasises the quality, as does the solid wood frame and the indescribable comfort it provides to those who sit on it.
With traditional wooden craftsmanship and Scandinavian design, the Vienna Sideboard is instantly eye-catching. It’s the perfect place to store books or blankets, and display framed memories and atmospheric bric-a-brac.
The Copenhagen Pendant is an exercise in contrasts. Crafted from matte lacquered metal in a simple industrial style, it still manages to portray a look of poetic elegance.
Designed by Nuura, the Liila 12 is minimalist and modern, but with a playful attitude. The modular configuration and optic glass make for interesting reflections and a bright, warm atmosphere.
The Hoof Coffee and Side Tables are both striking and practical. The painted legs are trimmed at the bottom, revealing the natural grain--this preemptively prevents paint from chipping if the piece is kicked or knocked.
The Moments Lounge Chair from Cane-line sets a new standard for smart design in a classical style. Produced from Cane-line Soft Rope with SoftTouch QuickDry cushions, the chair will dry in just one hour after exposure to wetness
From design duo Foersom & Hiort-Lorenzen, the Peacock Lounge Chair is ideal for curling up in, whether sunbathing or gathered around a bonfire. Crafted from temperature and UV-resistant Cane-line Weave®, the two toned chair is made for outdoor use in any environment.
