Sponsored by Skovby, all words are my own and I only work with brands I love. Thank you for supporting the businesses which make My Scandinavian Home possible.
Hejsan! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! We spent the past couple of days at the cabin, enjoying plenty of walks, fika (coffee and a small bite), and games of Yahtzee by the fire. Leaving last night was bittersweet, especially with a stormy week ahead in Malmö and even a hint of snow on the horizon.
Before heading back, I captured these pictures of our kitchen/dining room and cosy bed nook (if you’re not familiar with our little cabin, you can check out the full tour here). The focus of these snapshots is the beautiful new 842 chair by Skovby—a Danish brand renowned for its craftsmanship and, true to Scandinavian design, the perfect balance of form and function.
The chairs are on loan (though luckily, the Skovby table and stools are permanent, much-loved fixtures—you can see how the table miraculously extends here), so we were keen to make the most of them!
Here are some more glimpses of our dining area, along with a little more info. Enjoy!
The stackable 842 chair launched in August and is available almost worldwide. The design is inspired by a classic danish dining chair, with a contemporary touch.
Per doesn't get too involved with the design in our home - but he does have one key request: a chair should be comfortable—which, of course, includes having an armrest!
The sculpted armrest on this chair was a big hit—it adds comfort while seamlessly connecting to the backrest. To me, it feels like a warm embrace, adding both function and a beautifully light, airy aesthetic to the overall design.
Candlelight is an essential element at this time of year, and the moment I arrive at the cabin, I can’t help but flit around lighting everything! I have a particular fondness for oil lamps—they have such a nostalgic feel. Do you like oil lamps too?
The branches are from the garden, gathered beneath the oak tree. Per’s brother planted the oak seed 50 years ago when he was just a young boy playing in the garden, and today, it’s one of my favourite features and never fails to provide a beautiful centre-piece for our table, no matter the time of year.
Thank you for inviting us into your home away from home. I'm envious of your weekend away. Your cabin is such a nice space. I am in love with the plaid throw on the bed. The chairs are a wonderful addition--will you consider keeping them?
ReplyDeleteThank you Kris. The plaid throw is a new addition I couldn't resist! It was one of those new purchases that just fits right in and feels like it's always been there so I am happy you noticed it too.
DeleteI would so love to keep the chairs, I love how beautifully made they are, but sadly I simply don't have the space as I have so many things already - I'll be happy to see someone else enjoy them in the their home.
The chair looks very stylish and right at home. Nice to know it offers comfort, too! Your cabin looks utterly charming, both at dark and in daylight. The oak tree is certainly a gift from nature. Lovely and sentimental story on how it came to be.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pamela - the oak tree gives me so much joy - no matter the time of year! I love that the chair is also made from oak - and beautifully crafted too.
DeleteLovely photographs. You definitely captured the cozy vibes. When I was a girl, I lived in the country. When our electricity went out due to a storm, we would light old oil lamps. Huddling around the light in darkness gives a feeling of safety and security. Now that's a beautiful feeling! : > ) And it can be recreated by lighting a lamp even when not from necessity. As always, thank you so much for sharing. I loved the story of the oak leaves being a from a tree that grew from your brother-in-law's acorn!
ReplyDeleteI love hearing this and can just imagine you all huddling around an oil lamp feeling safe, warm and cosy. My daughter always tells me that she loves being on long car journeys late at night in our car - warm, cosy, the radio playing and all of us together in one small space - she says she finds it so comforting. Your comment reminded me a little of this.
DeleteAbsolutely adore this cabin interior, everything is gorgeous, i love the layout the decor the accessories and the design of all the furniture and homewares. You make a really beautiful storytelling with this home and the blog, thanks for giving me a much needed escape from dreary London - I would happily get cabin fever in this small and perfect abode
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, I am so happy you like our little cabin. It's been a pleasure to build and decorate - and we absolutely love spending time there. I love London too!
Deletebeautiful pictures and how well everything is coordinated in terms of color and decor. I have looked at all your links. Very beautiful and stylish! Nice that you show your own house like this. Greetings from a drizzly, but slowly getting colder Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your thoughtful comment, I am so happy you like these pictures of our little cabin. I am a big fan of the Netherlands too!
