For rattan lovers
The rattan has experienced a comeback in recent years – and if you ask our editorial team, a truly waited one! In the charming Fox lounge chair, this beautiful material is used in the best possible way. Viggo Boesen originally designed the delicate Fox chair back in 1936 and today it is part of the Danish Sika-Design's Icons collection, which is entirely dedicated to rattan classic furniture.

Vintage charm
Audo Copenhagen's Flambeau candle scolde lifts candles to the wall as a beautiful part of the décor. Emitting a delightful vintage ambiance, the candle holder captures attention with its sculptural form, for which the Danish design studio Krøyer-Sætter-Lassen has drew inspiration from French modernist lighting and the irregular, shifting shape of a candle’s flame.

Delicate clam
In 2018, the Danish design brand GUBI launched the lightning collection including luminaires by Finnish Paavo Tynell. One of these treasured gems in the Tynell collection is the charmingly beautiful 5321 table lamp, designed originally in 1941.
The 5321 lamp draws inspiration from nature and the Romantic era, and the luminaire’s simplified appearance also echoes influences from mid-century modernism. Located right under the shell-shaped shade, the light bulb is reminiscent of a pearl, casting its gentle and warm light all around. A rattan-covered stem complements the organic appearance of the brass surfaces.

The Laine rug is part of the Saaristo collection designed by Anna Pirkola, who was inspired by the ever-moving and changing sea. The knotted pattern enlivens the surface of the wool rug, the asymmetrical edge adds an original twist to the otherwise minimalist design.

Shaping atmospheres
The Parade table lamp by Danish HAY not only serves as a delicate light source but also as a sculptural decorative object. Designed by Viola Heyn-Johnsen and Jonas Trampedach, the lamp is made of shiny, opaque-colored glass that mirrors the surrounding room in fascinating ways, making the look of the Parade lamp change depending on the angle at which it is placed.
The adorable table lamp also features a dimmer, which makes it easy to adjust the amount of light to suit the space and the mood.

Slowly stewing
The Sarpaneva cast iron pot, designed in 1960 by Finnish design legend Timo Sarpaneva, is a classic product for every kitchen. The post is ideal for any hearty meal: stews, slow-cooked bolognese, or even a whole roast chicken. The detachable wooden handle makes it easy to lift either the whole pot or only the lid without burning one's fingers. The enamel coating prevents food flavors from sticking to the pot’s surface, so the same pot can be used for various dishes.

Versatile surprise
The witty TY Anise bowl is part of the TY Anise collection, designed by Teruhiro Yanagihara and made of clay with a traditional Japanese technique used in the town of Arita for decades. The versatile little plate catches attention with its unusual and playful octagonal shape, fitting seamlessly into both day-to-day and festive table settings – it serves not only as a plate for tasty appetizer soup or delicious desserts but also as a tray or serving dish.
