I just got back from 10 days in Denmark, visiting Bornholm, Copenhagen, and surrounding areas. I took approx 5,750 images. I’ll be uploading random images which have inspired me. Hope you enjoy! These are images from an antique shop on Bornholm. See all four images!
A lovely vignette of Scandinavian grays and the contrast of rich wood. It doesn’t take much to make a stunning statement…shot by susan in Copenhagen

There are several ways to look at Scandinavian design today in relation to how it links to the interest in a warm/modern style in the US…..one way is that MCM (Mid Century Modern) need not be a pure theme in a Scandinavian inspired interior, although MCM has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years for good reason, as we know.
A new way to look at Scandinavian design is to see how the Scandinavians mix periods, perhaps even with no MCM in the mix at all. It’s not new - this mixing thing…in our familiar world of design, it’s simply called “eclectic.”
But, watching the mixing being done in the various Scandinavian styles and periods…the word “stunning” comes to mind! Seeing Scandinavian design in this different point of view (for us, not them, they’ve done it for ages) is a fresh, new, look connecting that great cultural and historical thread via wonderful aesthetics.
Point being, there is a WHOLE lot more to Scandinavian design than MCM…mix, shake, stir, delicious.
