Scandinavian Chic will be reporting from Oslo Fashion Week!

Scandinavian Chic is teaming up with lookbook.no, and will be reporting from Oslo Fashion Week, Aug 16th-22nd!

Lookbook.no is the official photographer for the fashion week, so you can expect good coverage. We’ll make sure you know what’s hot and what’s not…

I’m crossing my fingers, hoping that Leila Hafzi will show her collection – in my opinion she’s one of the top Norwegian designers.

Chic or Shit?

Image Courtesy of Boligmagasinet

Last week’s Chic or Shit with the crocodile was a pretty obvious one… This one might be a little bit more tricky. The hands! Love them? Hate them?

Chic or Shit? What do you think?

Thank you KK!

KK – probably the biggest weekly women's magazine in Norway (and magazine of the year 2010) listed Scandinavian Chic as one of their go to blogs.

Thank you!!

Check out what Ine Thereze Gransæther (editor of kk.no) had to say about us:

“The coolest thing abut Scandinavian Chic, is that it lives up to it’s name. The blog details good Scandinavian design, both in fashion and interior design. Elegant.”

Thanks again, KK! Remember to check them out online, or get their latest issue, which is, if I may say so myself, pretty fabulous!

Scandinavia on Etsy

The Scandinavian countries are making their mark on Etsy, and I’ve picked out a few of my favorites…
Peacock -Print

This Norwegian peacock print is practically begging to come home with me…

Henna Small 2x2 inch Gift box

A cute Henna box

60s DANISH MODERN Vintage TEAK WOOD Rolling TEA or SERVING CART

Or maybe some mid century Danish design?

These prints were taken in Sweden by an LA based photographer

Marimekko Keisarinna Cotton Panel 28 x 24 inches, perhaps for a wall art or pillow front

Or maybe some stunning Marimekko fabrics?

STELLA POLARIS Made in Finland - Dramatic Black 48-pointed Moravian Star, Size M

The fabulous Stella Polaris is Finnish origami at it’s best. This one is pretty HUGE and comes in a variety of both colors and sizes. They’re pretty chic as Christmas decor.

iPad Case Sleeve Bag Cover with adjustable shoulder strap

What about a Norwegian case for your ipad?

Vintage Style Norwegian Norway Flag Woven Tapestry Cushion Pillow

A very chic version of the union jack pillows if you ask me :)

Scandinavian nature prints

Which one was your favorite??

Scandinavian Design Classic: The Saarinen Tulip Table

The tulip table by Eero Saarinen is a table most of us know and love. It’s known for it’s versatility and looks appropriate in everything from strict minimalism to the most maximalistic rooms you can imagine.

“ The tulip in a colorful, eclectic setting and a great color palette. Remember the Tulip chair from Star Trek?”

“The Tulip in a traditional styled home with wood chairs”

“A more simple styling where the table is the focal point of the room”

“Scandinavian Minimalism”

Lilac dining room antique dresser round circular marble topped vintage table Tulip chairs 1970s ceiling light bay window sash windows real home L etc 03/2008 not used

“One of my favorites, the table looks AMAZING with the chinoiserie wallpaper and the x benches”

“The Tulip table comes in various sizes, and here you can see the smaller side tables in a colorful bedroom”

“Tom Scheer is a huge fan of the table, and has several in his home”

“The stunning pattern in the marble top is enhanced by the fabulous artwork”

“Ruthie Sommers paired it with wing chairs – love it!!”

“In a very maximalistic setting from Nuevo Estilo”

“I’m absolutely loving this room, it’s perfectly styled with the cognac club chairs, the zebra rug (of course) and the Tulip table&chairs that just blend in”
