When you think of mid-century Scandinavian design, you probably picture iconic creations by the likes of Arne Jacobsen, Alvar Aalto and Carl Hansen. But how many of the pieces that spring to mind are Norwegian? I'm guessing very few, and possibly none at all. Although Norway has a rich design heritage, many of its contributions have faded from public consciousness, and there's no denying that . . .
A guest bedroom wall-art update with NØRDIK
[Advertisement - this is a paid collaboration with NØRDIK, but all words and opinions are my own] I'm very aware that I have quite a few readers in North America who love Nordic design as much as I do, but who often struggle to find brands that will deliver across the Atlantic. So, today I want to introduce you to US-based Scandinavian lifestyle store NØRDIK (don't worry, European readers, . . .
Focus on: the ‘Kubus’ candleholder
[Advertisement - this post features gifted items, but all words and opinions are my own] The subject of the latest instalment in my 'focus on' series is a particularly special one for me, as it's the first design classic I ever treated myself to after Chris and I bought our first home: the 'Kubus' candleholder, created by Danish architect Mogens Lassen back in 1962. Born in 1901, Mogens . . .
Home tour | A pale-grey apartment in Gothenburg
Today's home tour is a Gothenburg apartment that exemplifies the kind of effortless Scandinavian style that I'm always drawn towards. What's more, few of the furnishings or finishes used are particularly expensive, showing that you really don't need to have a huge budget to create elegant, timeless interiors. The apartment is actually fairly small (just 67sqm), but it doesn't look it thanks to . . .
New finds | May 2019
It's time for another round-up of new finds, and the recent Salone del Mobile trade fair in Milan means I have a bumper selection for you this month. I wasn't able to go myself, but I kept a keen eye on what was happening and I've picked out some of my favourite launches below.

![[AD - paid partnership] If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you might be aware that I’ve long been worried about the damaging effects of indoor air pollution. But you might also know that I’ve found an effective way to tackle it thanks to the stylish and sustainable @briiv.natural air purifier, which has the air-cleansing power of 3,043 houseplants and produces 80.57% less CO2 over its lifetime than any other model on the market. We've used ours every day for the past three years, so I was delighted when Briiv asked me to try out their latest model, the Briiv 2 Pro.
The Briiv 2 Pro has all the features of the original, plus some clever extras: an AI-drive sensor that monitors air quality in real time, and a setting known as 'Canary Mode' that can activate it automatically whenever this drops beneath a certain level. The latter has been a game-changer for us in recent weeks, springing into life to deal with the harmful particles from traffic and nearby wood-burners long before we notice them seeping into our home. I'm sure it will be very useful come hay-fever season, too.
There's a full review on the blog, but in short, it's a great product that really does make a difference!
