Travel Tips for Skåne in South Sweden · Happy Interior Blog

A couple of weeks ago I embarked on a great trip to Skåne, the southern suggestion of Sweden, subsequent an invitation from the area tourism board Stop by Skåne. I was excited for the reason that the only issue I knew about Skåne so significantly was its most important metropolis: Malmö. I traveled a couple of several years in the past to explore the metropolis and its vibrant style scene. This time my mission was comparable, but broader. I was likely to pay a visit to Malmö, Trelleborg and Helsingborg and go to the new design and style pageant, the Southern Sweden Style and design Times.

Small did I know how gorgeous and picturesque Skåne is. My initial times I invested in the vicinity of Trelleborg, in the southern tip of the area. It is there the place you can essentially check out the southernmost point of Sweden and choose in the fresh new sea breeze and the green landscape. In fact in this time the landscape is all environmentally friendly and yellow with rapeseed fields all to the horizon.

What I liked about the Trelleborg place was its near proximity to Malmö, and nevertheless you felt like genuinely out at the countryside – even however it was a mere 20 minutes generate by motor vehicle from the town. I have a few own highlights from that area: Slättarps Gård, a farm-turned-principle store in the midst of fertile fields with a excellent cafe the chic and new Weinbergs Hotel with a excellent cafe and Axatorpsgården, a dreamy Bed & Breakfast where I was keeping (but I will tell you a lot more about this 1 is a different web site article).

Malmö was its fantastic self as standard – this metropolis kind of mixes Swedish and Danish vibes, nonetheless it also feels quite cosmopolitan. And sunny times are the most effective in city – it is as if all people is exterior having fun with the sunshine and gentle temperatures. My mission was to go and go to this year’s Southern Sweden Layout Times, which are scattered close to the city in numerous areas. In between I necessary to prevent in a person of my favorite small restaurants in city: Noir. And just soon after a excellent bite & vino, I stopped at Olsson & Gerthel, a store packed with Scandinavian design that generally tends to make my coronary heart skip a defeat.

The relaxation of the day I put in discovering the creative scene and types from southern Sweden. I cherished the colorful and playful styles of Swedish Ninja as very well as the trendy out of doors furnishings assortment of Nola. Speaking of outdoor (and indoor why not): the picket bench by designer Marc Hoogendijk would be definitely my preference if I experienced room!

One more fantastic discovery was the get the job done of youthful Swedish Artist Elsa Unnegård. She showcased a stool manufactured of burnt wooden that appears like driftwood, but is in fact sculpted by her. I identified it incredibly sculptural, incredibly artsy – yet functional, as you can actually use it as a stool. Also I loved to see a mix of natural styles, products, colors as opposed to useful, trendy furniture that stems from what they simply call ‘technomimicry’, mimicking and searching for inspiration in technological designs. I spotted some plant answers as well – of program. Skandiform showcased the Allé Corner home dividers that are fundamentally good plant stands to framework spaces with plant divisions.

Also for these of you wondering of Malmö as a wonderful journey location (and I encourage you to increase it your journey bucket record): being in the Duxiana Hotel is a great solution: you are tremendous central and you will sleep like a toddler in their wonderful beds!

The final element of my Skåne trip brought me to Helsingborg, a 50 minutes drive north of Malmö. The town is vibrant and has a excellent shoreline to appreciate (windy) walks, sweet coffee sites like the Bruket Kaffebar, wonderful eating places like the Sillen & Makrillen overlooking the Öresund, as very well as a extremely funky lodge: the Vault Lodge!

But when in Helsingborg, I encourage you to push out to the encompassing countryside, as the nature is wonderful and the soil below has a large amount of clay which resulted in 1 of Sweden’s oldest and most traditional pottery factories: the Wallåkra Stoneware Manufacturing unit. There I had the wonderful possibility to get back again to the potter’s wheel immediately after so a lot of decades and toss my possess tiny piece of the very usual Skåne clay. I am curious to see the small bud vase once it is fired and arrives right here in Berlin. Near by you can also halt at the ‘Tomatenshus’, a tomato rising farm, that grows incredibly tasty tomatoes. And indeed, I bought hungry there far too – so just upcoming doors is the cafe Miss Alice Kroog & Delikatesser and their signature dish is: tomato pie! Indeed, go for it! Oh certainly!!

From Helsingborg I stated goodbye to Skåne by getting the ferry and placing around to Helsingør in Denmark. But that is a different tale to be explained to. For now I hope you loved the little tour of Skåne and its vibrant destinations and style scene. See you before long at the Axatorpsgården Bed & Breakfast below on the weblog!
