What is it about Scandinavian design?

SØREN designs specialises in selling home furnishings inspired by the muted colours and raw design simplicity of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. This Scandinavian influence is at the very heart of SØREN designs.

To many, when asked to name a famous Scandinavian design influence, they'd be hard pushed to get past the numbered instructions and maze-like infrastructure of interiors behemoth IKEA -however there is a whole magical world of smaller designers, artisans and creators we can't wait to introduce you to.

Furniture from the Nordic nations traditionally has a softer, more understated aesthetic. Likely a derivative of their pragmatic, long wintering cultural mind-set that values the collective over the individual, Scandinavians have a reputation for affordable, practical furniture, made with only natural materials and traditional tradesmanship - a far cry from the yellow and blue flat pack supermarkets you might have imagined when you heard 'Scandinavian influence'.
