We Love This – Spring-inspired shapes and colours
By Signe Hansen
Scandinavians may be known for their love of minimalist, functional design, but that does not mean we shy away from the soft aesthetic of organic forms. Adding a bold dash of colour or softness to any room, we present a selection of flower- and plant-inspired designs, from big, bold blooms to understated, gentle silhouettes – designs that bring the essence of spring right into your living room.
House on the Hill throw – Anderssen & Voll
The House on the Hill throw expresses a quiet longing for summer, sunlight, nature and carefree holidays, perfect for March! Designed by the Norwegian duo Anderssen & Voll for Røros Tweed, the throw combines technical craftsmanship with poetic storytelling. Soft tones and subtle imagery create an atmosphere reminiscent of open landscapes and spring light, making it equally suited for warmth and decoration.

Bonbonniere turnip – Henning Koppel
The humble turnip might not be the first plant you think of bringing into your living room, but this bonbonniere from Georg Jensen is both charming and stylish. Created by Henning Koppel, the bonbonniere carries the prolific designer’s trademarks: organic shapes inspired by nature and a combination of soft shapes and shiny, hard steel. This recently updated version, in pale oak and stainless steel, gives the classic design a more contemporary feel, which adds a stylish dash of nature to any room – also perfect for a spring-inspired present.

Åkande stool – Jonas Lyndby Jensen
Åkande, meaning Water Lily in Danish, defines a striking furniture series by Jonas Lyndby Jensen, a previous recipient of the Finn Juhl Prize. The Åkande stool, which can also function as a side table, draws clear inspiration from the soft curve of a floating leaf, while the tactile quality of wood enables the living, organic expression that characterises the series. The result is a piece that feels both timeless and quietly romantic in its softness.
