Asun Homes Vol 7

Asun Homes Vol 7 showcases a collection of uniquely decorated Nordic summer homes, cottages and gardens. You’ll discover both small and large cabins, nature-inspired and urban gardens, as well as minimalist and more lavishly styled summer homes, each telling intriguing stories about the lives of their inhabitants.

Blending together the best of both magazines and books, Asun Homes is an 184-page bookazine full of ideas and inspiration for anyone with an eye for Nordic home decor. Published once per year, Asun Homes follows the style of the Finnish interior design magazine Asun.
