Travel Tips for Skåne in South Sweden · Happy Interior Blog

A few weeks in the past I embarked on a amazing trip to Skåne, the southern idea of Sweden, next an invitation from the neighborhood tourism board Visit Skåne. I was enthusiastic due to the fact the only point I knew about Skåne so much was its major town: Malmö. I traveled a number of decades in the past to discover the city and its vivid design scene. This time my mission was similar, yet broader. I was going to visit Malmö, Trelleborg and Helsingborg and go to the new style and design competition, the Southern Sweden Design and style Times.

Little did I know how beautiful and picturesque Skåne is. My initial times I invested in the vicinity of Trelleborg, in the southern idea of the region. It is there exactly where you can basically check out the southernmost issue of Sweden and get in the refreshing sea breeze and the green landscape. Actually in this period the landscape is all inexperienced and yellow with rapeseed fields all to the horizon.

What I beloved about the Trelleborg space was its close proximity to Malmö, and still you felt like seriously out at the countryside – even though it was a mere 20 minutes generate by automobile from the town. I have 3 personalized highlights from that area: Slättarps Gård, a farm-turned-concept shop in the midst of fertile fields with a great cafe the stylish and new Weinbergs Hotel with a good cafe and Axatorpsgården, a dreamy Mattress & Breakfast in which I was staying (but I will explain to you a lot more about this a person is a independent web site write-up).

Malmö was its brilliant self as standard – this city variety of mixes Swedish and Danish vibes, nonetheless it also feels pretty cosmopolitan. And sunny times are the most effective in city – it is as if everybody is exterior making the most of the sunshine and mild temperatures. My mission was to go and stop by this year’s Southern Sweden Style Times, which are scattered around the metropolis in numerous locations. In involving I necessary to cease in one particular of my preferred minor places to eat in town: Noir. And just right after a very good chunk & vino, I stopped at Olsson & Gerthel, a shop packed with Scandinavian style and design that generally helps make my heart skip a conquer.

The relaxation of the day I used finding the inventive scene and designs from southern Sweden. I cherished the vibrant and playful styles of Swedish Ninja as well as the classy out of doors home furniture array of Nola. Talking of outside (and indoor why not): the wood bench by designer Marc Hoogendijk would be absolutely my selection if I experienced area!

An additional wonderful discovery was the operate of young Swedish Artist Elsa Unnegård. She showcased a stool created of burnt wood that seems like driftwood, but is in point sculpted by her. I found it pretty sculptural, very artsy – nonetheless practical, as you can truly use it as a stool. Also I beloved to see a mix of natural styles, supplies, colours as opposed to functional, elegant furnishings that stems from what they connect with ‘technomimicry’, mimicking and searching for inspiration in specialized layouts. I spotted some plant methods as effectively – of class. Skandiform showcased the Allé Corner room dividers that are in essence good plant stands to composition areas with plant divisions.

Also for these of you imagining of Malmö as a wonderful journey place (and I stimulate you to include it your journey bucket checklist): staying in the Duxiana Hotel is a fantastic remedy: you are tremendous central and you will snooze like a baby in their incredible beds!

The last section of my Skåne trip brought me to Helsingborg, a 50 minutes push north of Malmö. The metropolis is lively and has a great coastline to appreciate (windy) walks, sweet espresso spots like the Bruket Kaffebar, wonderful places to eat like the Sillen & Makrillen overlooking the Öresund, as very well as a quite funky lodge: the Vault Hotel!

But when in Helsingborg, I really encourage you to generate out to the encompassing countryside, as the character is stunning and the soil in this article has a good deal of clay which resulted in one particular of Sweden’s oldest and most regular pottery factories: the Wallåkra Stoneware Manufacturing facility. There I experienced the wonderful option to get again to the potter’s wheel just after so lots of many years and toss my own small piece of the quite common Skåne clay. I am curious to see the very little bud vase after it is fired and arrives in this article in Berlin. Shut by you can also prevent at the ‘Tomatenshus’, a tomato rising farm, that grows very delightful tomatoes. And indeed, I got hungry there as well – so just future doors is the restaurant Overlook Alice Kroog & Delikatesser and their signature dish is: tomato pie! Yes, go for it! Oh yes!!

From Helsingborg I mentioned goodbye to Skåne by using the ferry and environment about to Helsingør in Denmark. But that is a different story to be instructed. For now I hope you loved the tiny tour of Skåne and its vibrant spots and structure scene. See you quickly at the Axatorpsgården Bed & Breakfast below on the blog!
