Having lived and worked in Denmark for the past three years (not to mention being married to my very own Dane) - I can confirm the following: Scandinavians do effortless, relaxed and homely, so very well. All along showcasing the best of high design - as it was meant to be - with authenticity and in a daily setting and without much hype.
The sophisticated and understated summer house shown in the first two photos collections, belongs to a couple of Copenhagen-ers, famous for their work in the fashion industry - Uffe Buchard & Kim Grenaa. Their ability to combine items they have collected from around the world with mid-century classic furniture in a rustic and familiar way fits the simple open wooden house perfectly. The decorative elements are minimal but add texture to the overall warm neutral tones - and maintain a relatively organic yet masculine feel.
Photographer Ditte Isager (also a Dane) did a series for the British product designer Ochre - some of which are featured above. Ochre's lighting and furniture pieces are portrayed so effortlessly, it can almost make you forget all that goes into creating a mood that resonates and inspires. Photographer Heidi Lerkenfeldt, is another whose pieces just make me smile - you can see one of her pieces in the 4th image (left).
