Well-being begins at home: the Nordic way of living
In a world of constant distractions and perpetual connection, the home reclaims its truest role: a sanctuary for the soul, a space of stillness, a place where form and function find balance.
Here, a way of living defined by harmony, simplicity, and light takes shape—an ethos deeply rooted in Danish design and poetically reinterpreted in the Spring–Summer 2025 collections by Ferm Living, Carl Hansen & Søn, Fredericia, and Nuura.
The common thread? An understated elegance—casual, natural, serene. Furnishings that don’t impose but embrace, in quiet harmony with daily rituals and the shifting rhythm of light.
Presented during 3daysofdesign, Ferm Living's Dapple collection welcomes new protagonists: lounge chairs, sofas, and coffee tables. Their secret lies in a lightness drawn from nature—from the dancing shadows cast by sunlight through leaves, reimagined in perforated surfaces and fluid lines. Each piece invites outdoor repose, evoking the unhurried pleasure of a summer afternoon.
Alongside them, the Oar coffee tables express a mindful simplicity—crafted from oiled oak and softened by gentle curves—while the Boya glasses, with their sea-glass transparency and amber reflections, capture the quiet charm of Mediterranean sunsets. Beauty found in everyday rituals.
Carl Hansen & Søn’s Framing Compositions exhibition honors the legacy of Hans J. Wegner with the CH290 series and the CH621 swivel chair—one of the few office chairs he ever designed. These pieces embody a rare blend of visual lightness and structural rigor, created to endure across generations.
Adding a note of delightful irreverence, the Vita sofas and coffee tables by Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel introduce playful forms and organic curves into this Nordic landscape.
Børge Mogensen’s BM0121 extendable round table and Anker Bak’s compact desk stand as manifestos of quiet functionality, while Marianne Tuxen’s Tulip pendant lamp brings sculptural elegance to the interior—like a luminous floral arrangement suspended in space.
Fredericia pays tribute to architect and professor Mogens Koch with the reissue of one of his most essential creations: the MK bookcase system.
A distilled expression of Danish sensibility, it balances function with grace. Each module—crafted from solid oak or maple—is a measured gesture of precision, reflecting an enduring commitment to geometry, craftsmanship, and purposeful design.
Here, design becomes domestic architecture: it supports books, holds objects, and safeguards daily gestures—transforming them into quiet rituals imbued with meaning. A discreet, timeless beauty made to accompany life across generations.
A well-designed home doesn’t merely welcome—it breathes with those who inhabit it. Light is never neutral: it shapes rhythm, mood, and well-being.
Nuura’s latest lamps follow the sun’s natural cycle, adjusting in intensity, hue, and warmth to align with the body and mind. Bright white by morning, soft golden tones by evening—light that energizes by day and soothes by night.
What ties these diverse designs together is a distinctly Nordic belief: that true well-being stems from simplicity, authenticity, and lasting value. In the summer of 2025, the home reaffirms itself as a haven of balance and beauty—where every detail becomes an invitation to pause, to observe, and to listen.
