Just plain pretty, this Scandinavian style dining space makes me feel warm and cozy. I love the distinctive Scandinavian gateleg table. The bench is perfect as a foundation element against the wall, seemingly built in, anchoring the entire vignette. And the coral….a Happy color with a capital H! A dining area can make one want to linger, a nice attribute to create, and this one does.
I am also inspired by the centerpiece. I am going to go outside later, pick some random small flowering branches and place them casually in a vase of some sort. THAT is living well. Image by the magazine, Vakre.

I’m not advocating Scandinavian MCM design. I’m not advocating that any other Scandinavian design “theme” per se should be followed with purity. I AM advocating looking closely at pieces of this interesting region’s Design DNA, which has a history of thinking “modern” and innovating, combining that creativity with an appreciation of their very, very, old and treasured surfaces and textures.
