Scandinavia Meets Mediterranean: Interpreting the 'Kubus' Candleholder by 'By Lassen'

Today is a special day - it is actually Christmas for me (and many others who celebrate according to the old Julian calendar in the orthodox world). So I thought I'll share a special post with you that has a teeny-tiny touch of Christmas but is yet announcing a bit the coming spring time. To achieve this little decoration balancing act, I've opted to combine two styles or themes I adore: Scandinavian design with a Mediterranean twist. The ingredients for this little home décor experiment? An absolute Scandinavian design classic like the 'Kubus' candleholder from 'By Lassen' and a Mediterranean inspired colour scheme of blues and whites. 

How did I come up with this idea? Well I was very lucky and honored to be contacted by 'By Lassen' and asked if I'd like to do a little decoration scheme with their classic 'Kubus' candleholder and well, what else could I say then yes, yes, oh yes! So for quite a while I was thinking and rethinking what I'd like to do with it and I wanted to give it a more personal touch. As the weather here is surprisingly mild and sunny and I reminisced about my days in Greece, I came up with the idea of a little styling that would combine the Scandinavian design coolness with the warmth and textures of the Mediterranean.

I set off to the market and bought a bunch of olive twigs, juggled together a few of my blue and white decorative objects, got some beautiful blue ombré candles, the 'Kubus' candleholder and set everything together on my blue Bølling tray table - et voilà, the little decoration vignette was ready!

I hope you are enjoying a beautiful and peaceful Tuesday wherever you are! And for those among you who celebrate Christmas today: A very merry Christmas or as we would say in Serbian: Hristos se rodi!
