Don’t Forget the Saints
As we approach All Saints’ weekend, there’s a Nordic tradition worth remembering. In Sweden, this holiday has evolved into a time to honor our ancestors by lighting candles on graves, bringing warmth and remembrance into the autumn darkness. So, as the weekend nears, let's pause and remember the saints. They show us a path through the darkness, a fierce embrace of light, love, and faith.
Let us follow the light they leave behind.
Sustainability at the Heart of Scandinavian Design
Scandinavian design is celebrated for its clean lines, minimalism, and deep connection to nature. But beyond its timeless aesthetic, one of its core principles is sustainability—a value deeply rooted in Nordic culture. In Scandinavia, respect for nature has always shaped the way people live, and this respect naturally extends to design. By prioritizing natural materials like wood, wool, and stone, Scandinavian designers create pieces that are both beautiful and eco-friendly.
What Defines Scandinavian Design? Examples from Swedish and Danish Masters
Scandinavian design is famous for its clean lines, natural materials, and a timeless aesthetic that balances simplicity with function. Rooted in the Nordic way of life, it’s all about creating spaces that feel calm and connected to nature. With minimalism at its core, every detail serves a purpose—nothing is superfluous. This design philosophy blends light, open spaces with sustainable materials like wood, wool, and linen. It’s not just about style; it’s about living well in a way that’s harmonious with both nature and the rhythms of everyday life.
