Travel Tips for Skåne in South Sweden · Happy Interior Blog

A handful of weeks in the past I embarked on a wonderful excursion to Skåne, the southern suggestion of Sweden, pursuing an invitation from the area tourism board Take a look at Skåne. I was thrilled due to the fact the only detail I realized about Skåne so considerably was its major city: Malmö. I traveled a handful of several years back to uncover the city and its lively style scene. This time my mission was identical, but broader. I was likely to stop by Malmö, Trelleborg and Helsingborg and show up at the new design and style festival, the Southern Sweden Style and design Times.

Small did I know how attractive and picturesque Skåne is. My very first times I expended in the vicinity of Trelleborg, in the southern suggestion of the area. It is there where by you can actually stop by the southernmost issue of Sweden and get in the clean sea breeze and the inexperienced landscape. Essentially in this period the landscape is all eco-friendly and yellow with rapeseed fields all to the horizon.

What I cherished about the Trelleborg area was its shut proximity to Malmö, and nonetheless you felt like actually out at the countryside – even however it was a mere 20 minutes push by vehicle from the city. I have 3 personalized highlights from that area: Slättarps Gård, a farm-turned-principle retailer in the midst of fertile fields with a excellent restaurant the chic and new Weinbergs Lodge with a great restaurant and Axatorpsgården, a dreamy Mattress & Breakfast exactly where I was remaining (but I will inform you far more about this one particular is a individual site put up).

Malmö was its amazing self as regular – this city sort of mixes Swedish and Danish vibes, nevertheless it also feels very cosmopolitan. And sunny times are the very best in town – it is as if all people is outside the house experiencing the sunshine and gentle temperatures. My mission was to go and stop by this year’s Southern Sweden Style and design Times, which are scattered around the city in several destinations. In concerning I necessary to halt in a person of my preferred tiny eating places in city: Noir. And just right after a superior bite & vino, I stopped at Olsson & Gerthel, a shop packed with Scandinavian structure that often can make my coronary heart skip a defeat.

The rest of the day I invested exploring the artistic scene and layouts from southern Sweden. I cherished the vibrant and playful layouts of Swedish Ninja as perfectly as the classy out of doors furniture vary of Nola. Speaking of outside (and indoor why not): the picket bench by designer Marc Hoogendijk would be definitely my selection if I had area!

One more excellent discovery was the function of younger Swedish Artist Elsa Unnegård. She showcased a stool created of burnt wood that appears like driftwood, but is in actuality sculpted by her. I identified it quite sculptural, extremely artsy – yet useful, as you can definitely use it as a stool. Also I cherished to see a blend of organic and natural shapes, products, colours as opposed to useful, fashionable furniture that stems from what they contact ‘technomimicry’, mimicking and trying to get inspiration in specialized layouts. I spotted some plant alternatives as effectively – of system. Skandiform showcased the Allé Corner room dividers that are basically sensible plant stands to construction areas with plant divisions.

Also for people of you pondering of Malmö as a awesome journey spot (and I motivate you to insert it your vacation bucket checklist): staying in the Duxiana Resort is a perfect alternative: you are tremendous central and you will sleep like a child in their amazing beds!

The last aspect of my Skåne vacation brought me to Helsingborg, a 50 minutes generate north of Malmö. The metropolis is vibrant and has a excellent coastline to appreciate (windy) walks, adorable espresso locations like the Bruket Kaffebar, astounding dining places like the Sillen & Makrillen overlooking the Öresund, as effectively as a incredibly funky resort: the Vault Resort!

But when in Helsingborg, I encourage you to push out to the surrounding countryside, as the mother nature is lovely and the soil below has a great deal of clay which resulted in 1 of Sweden’s oldest and most standard pottery factories: the Wallåkra Stoneware Factory. There I had the awesome chance to get again to the potter’s wheel right after so many years and throw my very own tiny piece of the extremely usual Skåne clay. I am curious to see the very little bud vase at the time it is fired and arrives below in Berlin. Shut by you can also prevent at the ‘Tomatenshus’, a tomato escalating farm, that grows extremely tasty tomatoes. And indeed, I received hungry there also – so just following doors is the cafe Overlook Alice Kroog & Delikatesser and their signature dish is: tomato pie! Yes, go for it! Oh certainly!!

From Helsingborg I reported goodbye to Skåne by getting the ferry and setting in excess of to Helsingør in Denmark. But that is another tale to be explained to. For now I hope you enjoyed the very little tour of Skåne and its lively places and design and style scene. See you soon at the Axatorpsgården Bed & Breakfast listed here on the blog site!
