Curating a home you’re comfortable and at ease in has been the main focus of Stockholm Design Week and Furniture Fair, taking place in the Swedish capital all this week. Launching for the first time in September with the NK Moving Forward exhibition, designers across Scandinavia – both up-and-coming as well as established – came together to unveil their fall collection. From the iconic Claesson Koivisto Rune and HEM to the Anna Herman collaboration with Johanson Design, fall is set to be functional, sustainable, and utterly well-designed.
Fresh from the event, we’ve rounded up all the Scandi interiors trends to take note of in order to make your home as alluring as possible this fall.
Comfort is key
With gentle rounded forms and snug fabric, lounge chairs are perfectly-designed for comfort. The moment you sit, you’re embraced by delicious softness without having to compromise on sustainability. The Poodle chair by Anna Herman in collaboration with Alexander Lervik and Johanson design is a timeless piece that embodies the essence of Scandinavian warmth. Anna tells us “During the pandemic, Alexander and I exchanged inspiration and one day I stumbled upon a well-groomed poodle image which gave us the concept for our design. With the intention to create something very tactile, we used three different fabrics that cover bent steel tubes to create hugging curves. I wanted to use as little material as possible, including recycled foam, which makes the chair much lighter than you would think”. With an inviting sit-on-me silhouette, this type of soft lounge chair will create a welcoming and beckoning corner in your interior nest.
The rug which doubles as artwork
Colour is key this fall, so don’t avoid it is our advice. Rather, easily integrate it into your space from the bottom up, via soft and artful rugs. Bolon’s botanic collection of rugs is characterised by warm tones, such as rain, honey and chestnut, mixed together to add contrast and timelessness. Made from recyclable material, this made-in-Sweden collection by sisters Annica and Marie Eklund brings a classic and utterly Scandinavian finish to any room.
And if you are keen to push the boundaries between the art and interior design world’s further, there’s Layered’s A walk in the park collection in collaboration with Swedish designer Evelina Kroon. “The collection was inspired from the impression of a park in transformation, whether that’s beautiful flowers, spring rain, or shades of autumn,” she explains. Impactful, but still soft, these rugs bring an eclectic update on traditional Scandinavian textile design.
