Scandinavian Country: new book by Magnus Englund and Chrystina Schmidt

Scandinavians have a special relationship with nature and finding a retreat outside their cities. Getting away from it all is not a preserve of the rich, but something most do regularly. In this book Magnus Englund and Chrystina Schmidt, founders of Skandium, explore the Scandinavian heritage and style of rural holiday homes. In sparsely populated Scandinavia there is plenty of countryside to go around, so architects and interior designers have the freedom to try new materials and styles. At the same time, they often want to reconnect with traditional elements, from Finnish saunas and Danish thatched roofs to Swedish fishermen's cottages and Norwegian hiking retreats. The houses featured in this book will inspire you to explore Scandinavian country furniture, textiles and other materials.
