Seasonal Scandi Escapes

0/5 ( ratings)

In Seasonal Scandi Escapes, Niki Brantmark visits a wide-ranging collection of beguiling Scandi destinations, from summer houses to ski chalets to fjordside cottages, and draws inspiration from the pared-down simplicity of their interiors.

Niki discusses the Nordic notion of Friluftsliv, which translates as ‘open air living’ – spending time out of doors all year round and the beneficial effect it has on both our mental and physical health. The concept is part of a long tradition in the region of spending time close to nature. During the warmer months, more than half the population have access to summer houses dotted all along the rugged coastline, on lakes, and in woods and forests, where they live a simple existence swimming, fishing and foraging with family and friends. And in the colder months, when the days grow short and dark, people head to cosy fjordside cottages in fishing villages, mountain ski lodges and wooden cabins scattered across the snowy landscape and retreat inside, where they keep warm with wood-fired stoves and saunas. This collection of stunning interiors demonstrates how having access to the natural landscape is so important to many Scandinavians and puts the soft minimalism of Nordic style within every reader’s reach.
