Saltholm

In the sea between Copenhagen and Malmö lies the island of Saltholm. Sixteen square kilometres of desolate Danish countryside. A handful of people live here, under fairly Spartan conditions. At least they have the company of some five hundred cows.

As the crow flies, it’s not even ten kilometres to either Copenhagen or Malmö city centre. Total seclusion, total closeness.

We designed our Saltholm lounge collection to capture that double feeling. To be close and still far away. Close to cava and good friends on a June evening, when the sun barely sets. Far from the strains of everyday life. We admit we didn’t quite capture the austerity of the island in the design, though. It’s rather luxurious. The restrained design of the teak frames is balanced by generous, softly curved cushions.

 

Studio Norrlandet

Jari and Anna founded Skargaarden 2007 and has since then been developing the brand. Their interest in design and furniture was the reason they started Skargaarden and later on also why they decided to start Studio Norrlandet.

Designing a beautiful outdoor piece of furniture is a challenge as you have to take into account so much more than what is designed for indoors. The challenge is what drives them to design furniture beautiful enough to place indoors, durable enough for any harch weather challenge’s.

Jari has a background as a cabinet maker trained in fine carpentry. After finished carpentry education Jari found out that finishing last and being the most thorough in class probably wasn’t the most profitable profile for future employers. Now, many years later, it is an advantage in high end outdoor furniture design. Anna interest in acrylic painting and art makes their partnership exciting and above all fun.
