With interior trade shows such as Top Drawer and IMM Cologne taking place this week as well as Maison & Objet just around the corner; it’s that exciting time of year when we get a first glimpse of the new season collections.
I’ll be bringing you more from some of my favourite Nordic design brands in the next few weeks, but I wanted to start with one of the most eagerly anticipated, Ferm Living.
As a Nordic interior design lover, it will come as no surprise to learn that I’ve got a bit of an obsession with lighting.
Safe to say after listening to a recent episode of the Archipelago podcast, which is a must listen for me, I’m not alone.
A new year, a new decade, and a new-look Nordic Notes.
With that in mind, and after returning from an exciting few festive days in Copenhagen, I asked some of my favourite bloggers, influencers and designers what their Nordic inspirations are for 2020.
Since we first met, twelve years ago now, my husband and I have always used the time between Christmas and New Year to grab a couple of days away.
From trekking in the highlands of Scotland, queuing in the snow outside the Palace of Versailles, or as last New Year’s Eve, running around Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen with an over excited toddler.
As a child it was always my job to dress the table for Christmas, and while my own home may not be a riot of 1980s colour and pattern, it is still a task that continues to evoke the happiest of family memories.
True to Scandinavian style, I like to keep my festive decorations simple and understated, but by bringing together some of my most treasured pieces it always feels special whatever the occasion.
