Bring nature in

March 22, 2011 by Scandinavian mum

Nature is not only a strong trend in fashion. It’s in design as well, and we have selected a few pieces for the older child’s bedroom. Let’s bring nature in!

1. The tree junior coat hanger by the Swedese

2. Wood table lamp by Muuto



1. The Tree Junior Coat Hanger by the Swedese $630 at Huset
This freestanding coat stand designed by Iclander Katrin Petursdottir and Brit Michael Young for Swedish furniture brand Swedese would look great in any children’s bedroom. Depending on the child’s need it will easily lend a helping branch to bags and cardigans that otherwise would be stored randomly. Height 134 cm.

2. Wood table lamp by Muuto, Ł122.40 at Moleta Munro
The all-wood lamp is a lo-tech counterweight to the usually very modern and technical desk lamps. All details on the lamp are chosen through a pragmatic perspective and all bolts, screws and joints are emphasized. By using very simple methods Muuto has been able to give the Wood lamp a very honest and iconic expression, suitable for any room in the house even the kids room. Why not treat your child to a proper crafted designer lamp? With this placed on their desk you can be sure that they have enough light for all homework and various of science and art projects.

3. Spring forest fabric by Marimekko

4. The Birds Nest rug by the Swedes


3. Kaiko Spring Landscape by Marimekko SEK 909 at Design Online
The Kaiku fabric is perfect as curtains, as bedspread or as cover for an open shelf/storage solution. It’s the designer Maija Louekari that has created this idyllic landscape scene, bring the Scandinavian nature in to your home.
The fabric is made of cotton and with the dimensions 250×220 cm.

4. Birds nest rug by Kateha SEK 9900 at Design Online
Swedish company Kateha takes the Scandinavian rug design to a higher level with the Birds nest, a glorious thick and soft carpet in the very best quality designed by the Swedes. Also Kateha has a Rugmark license. Rugmark, is an international initiative against the use of illegal child labour in the carpet industry that was initiated in 1995 by Indian non-governmental organizations and international aid organizations.
The rug measures 220 cm and is hand made of pure wool. Available in green or light grey.
For a even more playful rug for the younger child, check out the far more reasonable priced the Bug rug at Kinderroom.

Secret friend in a matchbox

April 2, 2010 by Scandinavian mum

What could be cuter than this matchbox mouse? He wears a stylish shirt and shorts to keep him warm and feeling comfortable. Or choose the girl wearing a dress.
The matchbox bed comes complete with flowery pillow, knitted blanket with lace trim and stripy mattress.
100% Cotton. Height/width/depth: 4.5/16/9 cm. Age: 3 years and up.

This is exactly what children would love to have, as a secret soft toy that lives in his own matchbox bed. And easy to bring along on trips etc. After our opinion the perfect gift for any child who still enjoys playing imaginative games.
