Travel Tips for Skåne in South Sweden · Happy Interior Blog

A number of months in the past I embarked on a great trip to Skåne, the southern idea of Sweden, pursuing an invitation from the local tourism board Pay a visit to Skåne. I was excited due to the fact the only factor I realized about Skåne so significantly was its major town: Malmö. I traveled a few years ago to discover the city and its vivid design and style scene. This time my mission was very similar, however broader. I was likely to take a look at Malmö, Trelleborg and Helsingborg and attend the new design and style competition, the Southern Sweden Style and design Days.

Small did I know how lovely and picturesque Skåne is. My 1st times I spent in the vicinity of Trelleborg, in the southern suggestion of the location. It is there the place you can really check out the southernmost issue of Sweden and take in the clean sea breeze and the green landscape. Actually in this time the landscape is all eco-friendly and yellow with rapeseed fields all to the horizon.

What I cherished about the Trelleborg space was its close proximity to Malmö, and yet you felt like seriously out at the countryside – even however it was a mere 20 minutes drive by automobile from the city. I have three private highlights from that area: Slättarps Gård, a farm-turned-strategy retail store in the midst of fertile fields with a good cafe the chic and new Weinbergs Hotel with a great restaurant and Axatorpsgården, a dreamy Mattress & Breakfast the place I was staying (but I will convey to you more about this one is a separate website submit).

Malmö was its fantastic self as typical – this metropolis form of mixes Swedish and Danish vibes, still it also feels incredibly cosmopolitan. And sunny times are the finest in town – it is as if every person is outdoors having fun with the sunshine and mild temperatures. My mission was to go and check out this year’s Southern Sweden Style and design Times, which are scattered about the metropolis in many areas. In in between I wanted to halt in one of my favorite tiny places to eat in town: Noir. And just following a great bite & vino, I stopped at Olsson & Gerthel, a store packed with Scandinavian style and design that constantly helps make my heart skip a conquer.

The rest of the working day I put in exploring the innovative scene and designs from southern Sweden. I beloved the colourful and playful designs of Swedish Ninja as nicely as the elegant outside furnishings vary of Nola. Talking of outdoor (and indoor why not): the wood bench by designer Marc Hoogendijk would be undoubtedly my decision if I experienced space!

A different terrific discovery was the get the job done of youthful Swedish Artist Elsa Unnegård. She showcased a stool made of burnt wooden that seems like driftwood, but is in fact sculpted by her. I discovered it incredibly sculptural, pretty artsy – nevertheless sensible, as you can really use it as a stool. Also I beloved to see a combine of organic and natural designs, resources, colours as opposed to functional, elegant furniture that stems from what they contact ‘technomimicry’, mimicking and seeking inspiration in technological models. I spotted some plant remedies as nicely – of program. Skandiform showcased the Allé Corner area dividers that are fundamentally smart plant stands to composition spaces with plant divisions.

Also for individuals of you contemplating of Malmö as a wonderful vacation desired destination (and I motivate you to incorporate it your travel bucket checklist): remaining in the Duxiana Lodge is a excellent alternative: you are super central and you will rest like a newborn in their amazing beds!

The final element of my Skåne vacation introduced me to Helsingborg, a 50 minutes drive north of Malmö. The town is vivid and has a superb shoreline to appreciate (windy) walks, adorable espresso destinations like the Bruket Kaffebar, amazing places to eat like the Sillen & Makrillen overlooking the Öresund, as well as a very funky resort: the Vault Lodge!

But when in Helsingborg, I persuade you to generate out to the bordering countryside, as the nature is gorgeous and the soil right here has a ton of clay which resulted in 1 of Sweden’s oldest and most conventional pottery factories: the Wallåkra Stoneware Manufacturing facility. There I had the remarkable possibility to get back again to the potter’s wheel soon after so lots of many years and throw my own small piece of the pretty normal Skåne clay. I am curious to see the small bud vase at the time it is fired and arrives here in Berlin. Shut by you can also halt at the ‘Tomatenshus’, a tomato increasing farm, that grows incredibly scrumptious tomatoes. And certainly, I received hungry there way too – so just following doorways is the cafe Miss out on Alice Kroog & Delikatesser and their signature dish is: tomato pie! Certainly, go for it! Oh of course!!

From Helsingborg I mentioned goodbye to Skåne by getting the ferry and setting around to Helsingør in Denmark. But that is yet another tale to be advised. For now I hope you enjoyed the small tour of Skåne and its vivid places and structure scene. See you before long at the Axatorpsgården Mattress & Breakfast listed here on the blog site!
