We’re so excited to be launching our new brand, Scandinavian Made! This is a tumblr blog (for those who see it on the Scandinavian Made webshop). It’s a blog that I’ve added content to about Scandinavian design, mostly kitchens, over time. Since there is so much delicious Scandinavian interior design in this blog, I’ve brought it over to the webshop.
Now, we will expand our posts and write more on Scandinavian interiors, ceramics, rugs, and other rooms in the home…including kitchens. After all, I have my rugs and ceramics in my kitchen too!
We are excited to launch this new brand, and it is a collective effort between myself, Susan Serra, and my daughter, Kelly Donovan. Please join our facebook page too!
Warm yet modern and nicely textured long seat/bench/sofa which I can see being used as dining seating in a breakfast room with a round, rectangular or custom shaped table. Nice look, simple design, by Magnus Olesen. Seen at the CODE11 show in Copenhagen.
Here is a beautiful home west of Denmark where I visited a friend this past September. Beautiful classic Scandinavian interiors.
Some interesting finds at Code11, the Danish design exhibition that I attended in early September.

Images from the official opening of Copenhagen Design Week at the Danish Design Center including performances, one, a ballet on the Egg chair. That is an image of Prince Frederik, who was one row in front of me, three seats over. If you are a lover of design, I would urge you to please take ten minutes to read this post on Copenhagen Design Week. I, for one, was extremely inspired by these words.
Lovely modern hand blown glass from http://www.balticseaglass.com/ in Bornholm, Denmark, situated with the sea and sky as a backdrop to illuminate the glass beautifully. What a wonderful place.
A wonderful art gallery in Bornholm, Denmark. Perfectly Scandinavian - light, simple, clean, modern and warm at the same time. I love the feel of this space and I love the artwork too.
Traditional Danish “relief” or ceramic mural designs in a simple, modern, charming style-photographed by me in the Bornholm airport. Small to large ceramic reliefs which tell a story visually are a traditional Danish object which I love very much. I own several.
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!
The quintessential Scandinavian dining room - in this case, in the world famous restaurant, Noma, in Copenhagen. Mid Century Modern exquisite furniture is effortlessly at home with antique architecture, heavy texture and simple surroundings. From the blog Solid Frog.
Interesting mix of materials in this kitchen - zero storage, but I will assume a few things:
- storage is elsewhere
- the kitchen gets light use
- it’s a kitchen in a second home
Here is a case where the desired aesthetic completely drove the design of the kitchen and trumped function. No judgment on that - I’d love a sort of fantasy kitchen solely designed around an aesthetic vision - that’s true luxury in one sense. From Rum magazine.

Taken at a fantastic handmade ceramics fair in Copenhagen, these images show how a decorative layer in a kitchen design can add texture, color, shape and form. Whether a few select pieces or a collection around the kitchen, ceramic art is a natural aesthetic connection to any kitchen design. Scandinavia has a rich history in outstanding ceramic design as these images illustrate.
