Brand story*:
I love discovering new Scandinavian brands, don’t you? One of my latest favourites is Skovby. The Danish family business was founded in 1933 by cabinet maker Thorvald Rasmussen. His son Villy Rasmussen and grandsons Preben and Jørgen Rasmussen have continued his legacy – expanding the collection to include highly functional dining tables, chairs, storage, cabinets and other pieces. with a strong focus on craftsmanship, natural materials and sustainability.
One of the biggest draws, is Skovby’s strong focus on craftsmanship, natural materials and sustainability and how the furniture combines a strong design aesthetic with innovative functionality – Scandinavian design heritage it’s finest!
I’ve been really keen to experience the furniture firsthand ever since. And this week, I found just the project!
Due to the circumstances we are all facing, right now Per and I are both working from home. As you can imagine this comes with its fair share of, shall we say, challenges! Perhaps, most alarming of all is that I’m having to endure entire maths and physics lessons (Per’s a sixth form teacher) – subjects I thought I’d safely left long behind me in my school days!
From Per’s side, the main issue has been trying to hold classes via video link from the kitchen table – not easy when you have kids rocking about making themselves sandwiches in the background. So, I thought it was high time to design a temporary home office that he can call his own!
I think Per’s one very lucky guy, don’t you?! I’m not sure he’s ever worked in a spot like this before (trust me, I’ve seen his staff room!).
Maybe I’ll even pick-up on some new math skills along the way (I can actually see Per spitting out his coffee at this!!) – let’s just say, we’re both grateful my maths lessons are a distant memory!). How were you at physics and maths?! Kudos to anyone who could have worked out the equation below!
