Skandinavisk is a celebration of Scandinavian lifestyle, of vast silent landscapes, of cosy shared moments, of the world's happiest peoples. Of hygge. I couldn't put it better than what they're saying about themselves. When I met them in Copenhagen I was immediately drawn to their beautifully designed scented candles. In the meantime, they've extended their range with adorably happy tableware collection named FIKA (I blogged about it HERE).
Today, I am focusing on one of their scented candles with the mysterious name Ø. What looks like a weird letter is in fact an entire word bearing the promise of freedom, air, sea and wilderness - it means 'island' in Danish. It is inspired by hundreds of thousands uninhabited islands scattered across Scandinavian waters. It carries the poetic promise of the 'solitude of the archipelagos'.
Now as someone who had spent a part of his life in Greece on the shores of the Aegean sea I couldn't help but give the candle a Mediterranean twist. And this is the result. A salty breeze, the sound of the sea, the scent of a happy escape to the island.
Happy hump day!

Your vignette sums up some of my very favourite things - so succinctly! :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah:-)
DeleteNo Scandinavian genes in my body as well, but with this candle I could bring some scandinavian flavour in my italian home :) I've seen this brand in Copenhagen but here it hasn't arrived yet, that's a pity!
ReplyDeleteIt is the best way to bring a bit of Scandinavian feeling into the home, Elisabetta! Even here in Germany they are available only at selected retailers but the good thing is - they have an online shop and you can order from everywhere!
DeleteI'd have chosen this one for you too! Cool blue hues :-) Liking the vignette.
ReplyDeleteOh thank you mister! You are too kind to me. What's wrong? LOL
DeleteI'm so glad my poor Wi-Fi managed to open this post. I love the styling, Igor, it's absolutely beautiful. That top photo is swoon-worthy … consider it pinned!
