Elements Of Birds Posters Landing Soon

I always enjoy my trips back to Denmark, and never more so than when I come across new pieces for my shop.   My latest discovery is this series of very unique posters by Cecilie Svanberg, founder of the design studio Mintstudio in Copenhagen. The birds are due to land any day  now let's hope that they'll be well received here in the UK too...

Sneak Peek By Nord AW2013

I'm  heading over to Copenhagen later this week to check out what's new at the "Defining Scandinavia" fair. A trip to Copenhagen would never be complete without a spot of shopping so I'll of course make sure to visit all my favourite shops too!


Meanwhile, here's a peek at the  new By Nord Collection do you see anything you fancy?

Oyoy it's summertime

I'm so excited ...  a few of our products from the Danish company Oyoy  was featured in The Sunday Time's Home section yesterday and I just had  to share the piece with you here too! 

1. Honeycomb bedlinen £60, 2. Japanese Cushions £45, Hokuspokus storage bag large £27.50

Playtype posters beautifully styled!

I had been swooning over Playtype posters for a while, but it was only after seeing these beautifully styled room shots that I finally decided to stock the posters from the Copenhagen based type foundry.

A Child's room in monochrome

As children get older it can be a challenge to transform what essentially is a playroom to a cool hangout for an older child, so I have put together a few favorites from my shop that might just help you on the way...

When love is a Scandinavian Typography poster

I have been in love with  graphic and typography posters for a very long time but until now haven't actually  been selling any in the shop. All that changed when I got in touch with Tobias one of the creative people behind HOWAREYOUSWEDEN!  They brought out  "Aa", their first ever poster earlier this month and I immediately knew that it had to go on our shelves ....

I must be honest here..  my first love goes to Playtype! I've been an admirer for a long time and have often been swooning over their posters when reading Danish magazines. It would feel like a betrayal to stock the "Aa" poster without also bringing in Playtype so I'm very proud to say that Skandivis has now become the first UK stockist of these posters too! 

You may not have come across Playtype...but Playtype is an online type foundry started by the Copenhagen-based design agency, e-Types.  Quite apart from their range of amazing typeface they sell these fabulous posters with blown up letters in a range of fonts.

The above roomshots are photos from as featured in the book Northern Delights as well as in Danish magazines Rum(top) and Bo Bedre (bottom)

OYOY inspired Danish Design

I love the name OYOY a newly established Danish Interior design company.  The letters OY have since 1929 been written on every Danish aeroplane  so the founder Lotte Fynboe thought the letters would  be an indication that the brand is Danish! 


I am very excited to say that Skandivis will now be stocking quite a few of the gorgeous OYOY products!
