The Timeless Danish Home of A Jewellery Designer & Vintage Furniture Collector

Oh yay – I do believe it’s Friday! Finally! Do you have fun plans?! We’re heading up to the west coast to work on a new renovation which I’m so excited about – but of course, not really relaxing (all will be revealed next Sunday!). Before we all shoot off for the weekend, I wanted to share one final home tour. And it’s a beauty! Welcome to the Copenhagen home of Anders Forup, a jewellery designer and vintage furniture dealer, his partner Nina and their adorable babba (*kiss those cheeks*!). Needless to say, the home is teeming with incredible Scandinavian design classics including the Arne Jacobsen Ant chair, Hans J Wegner Peacock Chair and the Skultuna Lily candlestick holder* to name but a few. The furniture, art, and lighting shine against a backdrop of white and soft, mid-blue (when I said this shade was set to big, I wasn’t kidding!). Nora and Laura of Our Food Stories paid a visit and snapped these lovely pictures.

Oj oj oj (as they say in Sweden) this space is beautiful! I am so in love with the blue shade in the bedroom – possibly my favourite room in the house (but it was a narrow squeak – the whole house is pretty fabulous!).

It’s also one of those spaces which feels timeless – it could look like this in 10-20 years and still feel current. I guess, that’s the beauty of classic furniture (especially Scandinavian pieces which were designed to withstand the test of time), don’t you think?

Did anything stand out to you?

I’ll love you and leave you (BTW my Swedish husband thinks this is a really weird phrase to write on the blog – but in the UK it’s a perfectly normal saying – does it sound strange to you?) with these fabulous danish homes:
