This month, we’re obsessed with the Scandinavian archipelago style. For a sun-soaked terrace with a view of sandy dunes, or perhaps a secluded cottage by the rugged cliffs, this blend of rustic charm, natural materials and connection to the sea is equally irresistible.
GRANIT – striped cushions
These striped cushions from Swedish interior brand Granit combine elegance with natural softness. Made from a mix of cotton and linen, the timeless design will look as fabulous on the sofa in the living room as it does thrown on the bed, or even in any outdoor space. Striped cushion Blockrand 40x60cm and Rand 50x50cm, both in blue/white. Price: SEK 249 each
Ittala – Raami tumbler
When enjoying that sea view on the veranda, remember to stay hydrated. These tumblers in recirculated glass from Ittala fit the archipelago vibe. Designed by Jasper Morrison, the Raami series features versatile tableware with a simple, thoughtful design. Made of 100 per cent recirculated glass, they are produced from waste glass at Ittala’s factory in Finland. Set of two tumblers, 26cl. Price: GBP 25
HAY – Crate lounge chair
The classic Crate Collection was initially designed of surplus wooden shipping crates by Gerrit Rietveld (1888-1964), one of the greatest Dutch architects and furniture designers, back in 1934. It has now been relaunched in the Rietveld Originals x HAY collaboration. This lounge chair honours the original design, with balanced proportions and optimised assembly. Pictured is the chair in white water-based lacquered solid pinewood. Price: SEK 3,849
