Grown-up Scandi: the best way to enjoy Nordic style

Clean, informal and family friendly, Scandinavian design has become a popular mainstay in the British home usually typified by pale woods, simple block colours on walls and furniture, and playful child-friendly design elements. We love spaces that take this look to a refined and elegant interpretation. Opal glass orbs and black metalwork perfectly compliment a palette of cool pistachio, earthy browns or deep grey and dark woodwork.

Our Ensio table lamp and pendant make a sleek pair, while the Ornella chandelier has a large-scale grandeur which still retains the clean contemporary feel.

The new Gaucho table lamp and floor lamp take the sleek mid-century design of our pendant to a new level with a harmony of matt black and a turned-wood effect cap. Its generous dome takes two lightbulbs, creating a warm and inviting pool of light beneath.

Our outdoor wall lights work excellently inside the home too; the restrained cylindrical forms of the Ortega wall light look beautiful against tiles, brickwork or calm contemporary neutrals.

Finally, pair with a collection of your favourite books, framed vintage posters, retro stereo equipment and vinyl records for the perfect balance of lived-in sophistication
