Locally, we have already experienced the resurgence of Scandinavian influences with the likes of The Bachelor Farmer restaurant and the newly renovated American Swedish Institute. But the trend has spread internationally. Nordic is hot. Here are ideas on how to incorporate the look in an event.
Seating and Furniture: Danish design emphasizes function with minimal ornamentation. Opt for light woods mixed with metal. The overall look should reflect a clean, light, mid-century modernism. (Photo courtesy of The Danish Design Store)
Linen: The Marimekko line of fabric exemplifies the Scandinavian print. Bold and whimsical, incorporate the print into linens and pillows. (Photo courtesy of Marimekko)
Tabletop: Nordic dishware designs often feature repetitive and colorful patterns. Complement with glassware in colored hues of blue, green or lavender. (Photo courtesy of Scandia Design)
Centerpieces: Use bright-colored art glass, adding only a single stalk of floral. (Photo courtesy of Danish Design Store)
Menu: Nordic food reflects the short growing season available in the region. Celebrate the unique mix of sweet, sharp and sour by including on the menu tastes like Lingonberries, crisp breads, Vasterbotten cheese, pickled foods and, of course, the classic Swedish meatball.
