How to: Scandinavian Chic with Muuto

A trend that has taken the interior design scene by storm: Scandinavian living. Minimal designs, uncomplicated aesthetics and completely functional, there is no wonder why the world has fallen in love with the ways of the far north.
One brand offering the complete Nordic lifestyle is Muuto, comprising of lighting, furniture and accessories. Here is how to incorporate Scandinavian chic into your own home:

Create a cosy corner.

Soft fabrics, comfy pillows, side tables and functional lighting. These components make up the ideal space to recharge your batteries and indulge in a moment to one’s self.

Social dining.

A large part of the Scandinavian lifestyle is to live socially, whether that is sharing a meal or memories over drinks. Open spaces for kitchen and dining areas are popular to allow everyone to partake in the experience. Generous tables, plentiful chairs and dining accessories all help to make each gathering a social event to remember.

Personalised storage.

Highly anticipated and sought after Cirque suspensions by Louis Poulsen are available from May 15^th. This new release by designer Clara von Zweigbergk is a playful interpretation of the Tivoli fair ground in Copenhagen. After Louis Poulsen gave Zweigbergk the brief of a fun and stylish lighting design, her visit to Tivoli gardens became her central inspiration.

The fair ground is a place full of colour, balloon rides, domes and unique shapes to inspire any visitor. The spinning movement of rides and attractions was very intriguing to Clara von Zweigbergk, the amalgamation of colours and playful movement became part of the Cirque’s design.

Cirque is skilfully made from one piece of metal, with precise, clean angles to create a seamless high quality finish. The shade is available in three sizes and three colour combinations, allowing complete creativity in their display. This light is stylish, affordable and enables people to have a piece of Poulsen in their home.

Available to order on Sunday 15^th May, keep your eyes peeled…
