Travel Tips for Skåne in South Sweden · Happy Interior Blog

A several months in the past I embarked on a superb journey to Skåne, the southern suggestion of Sweden, next an invitation from the regional tourism board Visit Skåne. I was psyched mainly because the only point I realized about Skåne so considerably was its largest city: Malmö. I traveled a few yrs in the past to explore the metropolis and its lively style scene. This time my mission was identical, still broader. I was likely to check out Malmö, Trelleborg and Helsingborg and show up at the new style and design pageant, the Southern Sweden Layout Times.

Small did I know how stunning and picturesque Skåne is. My initial days I expended in the vicinity of Trelleborg, in the southern idea of the region. It is there exactly where you can actually visit the southernmost place of Sweden and get in the contemporary sea breeze and the green landscape. Basically in this season the landscape is all environmentally friendly and yellow with rapeseed fields all to the horizon.

What I loved about the Trelleborg location was its shut proximity to Malmö, and nevertheless you felt like definitely out at the countryside – even while it was a mere 20 minutes travel by motor vehicle from the city. I have 3 own highlights from that area: Slättarps Gård, a farm-turned-thought retailer in the midst of fertile fields with a great restaurant the stylish and new Weinbergs Hotel with a excellent cafe and Axatorpsgården, a dreamy Mattress & Breakfast wherever I was keeping (but I will tell you far more about this 1 is a separate blog article).

Malmö was its excellent self as typical – this metropolis type of mixes Swedish and Danish vibes, but it also feels incredibly cosmopolitan. And sunny times are the best in town – it is as if all people is outside the house savoring the sunshine and mild temperatures. My mission was to go and check out this year’s Southern Sweden Design Times, which are scattered about the metropolis in many places. In amongst I required to stop in a person of my favourite minor restaurants in town: Noir. And just soon after a superior bite & vino, I stopped at Olsson & Gerthel, a store packed with Scandinavian style that normally makes my coronary heart skip a beat.

The relaxation of the day I spent getting the innovative scene and patterns from southern Sweden. I liked the colorful and playful layouts of Swedish Ninja as effectively as the stylish outdoor household furniture range of Nola. Speaking of outdoor (and indoor why not): the wooden bench by designer Marc Hoogendijk would be surely my option if I experienced room!

A further fantastic discovery was the get the job done of younger Swedish Artist Elsa Unnegård. She showcased a stool made of burnt wooden that seems like driftwood, but is in reality sculpted by her. I uncovered it pretty sculptural, extremely artsy – still functional, as you can truly use it as a stool. Also I liked to see a blend of organic and natural styles, elements, colours as opposed to functional, fashionable home furniture that stems from what they call ‘technomimicry’, mimicking and looking for inspiration in complex models. I spotted some plant methods as perfectly – of training course. Skandiform showcased the Allé Corner space dividers that are basically good plant stands to structure areas with plant divisions.

Also for those people of you considering of Malmö as a good journey location (and I encourage you to insert it your vacation bucket checklist): remaining in the Duxiana Hotel is a best alternative: you are super central and you will sleep like a child in their wonderful beds!

The final aspect of my Skåne trip brought me to Helsingborg, a 50 minutes push north of Malmö. The metropolis is lively and has a superb coastline to enjoy (windy) walks, cute coffee places like the Bruket Kaffebar, awesome restaurants like the Sillen & Makrillen overlooking the Öresund, as well as a extremely funky lodge: the Vault Resort!

But when in Helsingborg, I stimulate you to generate out to the encompassing countryside, as the nature is attractive and the soil right here has a ton of clay which resulted in 1 of Sweden’s oldest and most conventional pottery factories: the Wallåkra Stoneware Manufacturing unit. There I had the remarkable possibility to get back again to the potter’s wheel right after so numerous a long time and toss my own tiny piece of the very normal Skåne clay. I am curious to see the minor bud vase when it’s fired and comes listed here in Berlin. Shut by you can also end at the ‘Tomatenshus’, a tomato rising farm, that grows very delicious tomatoes. And of course, I got hungry there as well – so just next doorways is the cafe Miss out on Alice Kroog & Delikatesser and their signature dish is: tomato pie! Yes, go for it! Oh yes!!

From Helsingborg I claimed goodbye to Skåne by using the ferry and location about to Helsingør in Denmark. But that is an additional story to be informed. For now I hope you loved the tiny tour of Skåne and its lively spots and design scene. See you shortly at the Axatorpsgården Bed & Breakfast here on the website!
