I have another fantastic new collection from Scandinavia to introduce today, this time from Danish brand Stelton, which has been producing stylish tea- and coffee-making kit since 1960. Created by Canadian designer Francis Cayouette, the company's cleaned-lined 'Theo' teapot, slow-brew coffee maker and mugs became instant hits when they first launched last year, and several new additions to the . . .
Profile | Skandinavisk
I'm very excited about my latest profile post, as it features a brand which I've admired for a long time. Based in Copenhagen, Skandinavisk celebrates the Scandinavian way of life through a range of scented candles and room fragrances, all with simple yet wonderfully evocative names such as SKOG ('forest'), HAV ('sea') and KOTO (Finnish for 'cosy at home').

The house coils around the water, with a split-level floorplan to . . .

The home of ceramicist Anne Black and her family, it’s swathed in natural light and dressed in soft, serene colours, creating the perfect backdrop for an extensive collection of art and the many period features. The original parquet floors, ornate plasterwork, . . .
Copenhagen Botanical Garden
I recently shared a few of my top tips for exploring Copenhagen, but there was one place missing from the list: the Botanical Garden. That’s because this swathe of green gorgeousness is perhaps my favourite spot in the city, and I thought it deserved a post of its own. I really could spend all day strolling around this tranquil, rambling park . . .
