Mormor Tableware by Gry Fager
(11 September 2009) - An intelligent riff on kitchen textiles, Gry Fager's Mormor collection of tableware for Normann Copenhagen combines modern form and traditional pattern with the most gratifying results. Mormor's distinct patterns—a graphic interpretation of the typical blue and white tea towel and a textural nod to the classic dish cloth—grace a variety of dining objects such as bowls, cups, platters, plates and decanters. The collection manages...

Swallow Magazine
(18 February 2009) - We liked Swallow Magazine so much we sat down with James Casey, its creative director. This hard bound bi-annual magazine approaches food, and the people and culture behind it, in new and innovative ways. Cool Hunting: What was the inspiration behind Swallow?James Casey: Swallow Magazine came about as a result of working on other magazines and sensing that something was missing creatively. We would travel...

Work Lamp by Form Us With Love
(03 February 2009) - Design House Stockholm, a multi-faceted brand specializing in contemporary Scandinavian design, exhibited a few new pieces alongside its existing collection at this year's New York International Gift Fair (NYIGF).

Scandinavian Grace
(24 October 2008) - When I heard that Fredrik Larsson, owner of the Williamsburg boutique Scandinavian Grace, was opening an outpost in upstate New York, I had half a mind to take a day trip just to check it out. I still plan to but readers won't need to wait for my trip to view the interior (see more images after the jump). Located on Route 28 in...

Ivana Helsinki
(02 May 2008) - Ninety percent of the time, you can pick a Scandinavian brand from a metric mile away, which is not necessarily a bad thing considering that they have such a refined, clean approach to thinking about clothes. Ivana Helsinki, however, is not someone you can define easily. Her clothes may be elegant, but there's also a dark thread running through them that flirts with some...

E&Y: Greenland
(21 April 2008) - Just steps from the infamous 10 Corso Como, the Japanese brand E&Y mounted a modest show at Galleria Antonia Jannone under the name "Greenland." The title was supposed to reference both global warming and the changing nature of the namesake country. I didn't quite get the connection between their products and sustainability, especially considering the wanton (albeit well-designed) use of paper and cardboard in...

Susanne Sundfor
(08 February 2008) - We featured Scandanavian singer-songwriter Susanne Sundfør on Lost At E Minor last week and followed up with her to get the secret on her wonderful singing voice. Her response: "Thank you! I've always loved to sing. When I was a little girl I would imitate big divas such as Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. At some point in my early teens, I became interested...

Scandinavian Skincare
(17 August 2007) - One look at most Scandinavian complexions is a good enough testimonial to try some of their skincare regimens. These three brands all have an ethos of simplicity, draw on Eastern traditions, and use top-quality ingredients. We picked their travel kits because we love to be able to really just pick up and go—plus, it's a way to try out new products without a huge investment....

Refinery29: On Location in Reykjavik
(30 May 2006) - Iceland's climate and terrain is so otherworldly—glaciers, geysers, and lava deserts dot this island in the Arctic Circle—that NASA astronauts come here to train. In contrast, the capital, Reykjavik, is a small, thriving city that plays host to great music, fashion, and art scenes. The city's compact layout encourages a sense of community and so do its many stores and cafés where young creatives converge...
