Danish cottage

Isn't this little weekend cottage in Denmark adorable? It feels so real! I want a little vase with 'Skurepulver' written on it on my kitchen sink. I like the corner windows because they make the little cottage light and airy. 

Danish by design

I am totally fascinated by the use of colour and texture in this Danish space. Shiny charcoal black tiles in the bathroom, a fluffy grey carpet in the living room, and butterfly wallpaper in the bedroom. Isn't the butterfly wallpaper great - fun and playful without being saccharine sweet.

Ah, I long to go to Copenhagen now and visit all the amazing interior shops.

Simply Scandinavian

There is something about the simplicity of Scandinavian design that makes me go back to it again and again. Look at this airy and light filled flat in Østerbro, Denmark. I like the way the art work is displayed on the walls and the constrast between the cosy textiles and the black and white modern furniture.

I've been wondering if Scandinavian design also works outside Scandinavia, say in a Southern Eurropean country such as Portugal. What do you think?

Homage to Arne's ant chair

I (heart) danish designer Arne Jacobsen's classic Ant chairs from Fritz Hansen. They look good in every colour and in a wide range of different interiors. Actually, there is absolutely nothing designed by Jacobsen that I do not like.

Danish hippie style

You'll find this relaxed hippie heaven north of the Danish capital Kopenhagen. Colour is used very intelligently here, enough to make the house feel bright and happy but not so much that you feel like you live in a crayon box. The mix of different patterns and styles looks effortless. I dig the use of turquoise and blue- my  new obsession.

Form follows function

Form follows indeed function here with the product's smooth, elegant curves. Henning Koppel's designs look classy and timeless. Henning Koppel (1918 - 1981) was a Danish designer who worked, among others, for legendary silversmith Georg Jensen.

This post is for my blogger friend. R. because I think Koppel's design is his cup of tea. (I hope I am right).
