Scandinavian design is a failsafe choice for the modern home: it’s accessibly priced, it’s pared-down, it’s functional and it always looks good. We cherry-picked a few of our favourite pieces – items that are bound to add a stylish touch to your space.
Normann Copenhagen
From £44.00
Danish designer Agnes Fries concocted the Agnes vase for Normann Copenhagen, drawing on her childhood memories of life in a creative household in China. The hand-painted, ceramic vases come in seven sizes, ranging from 6cm high to 32cm high.

Carl Hansen
£557.50 (price subject to change)
Hans J. Wegner’s CH24 chair – known affectionately as the Wishbone chair – is probably the most universal icon of Danish design out there. With a distinctive Y-shaped back, curved armrest and clean lines, the Wishbone is awfully comfortable for a dining chair.

Kay Bojesen
US$165.00 (price subject to change)
Kay Bojesen’s wooden Monkey is an oldie but a goodie. The designer was a whiz with silver and wood, and this piece, which he created in 1951, is probably his most recognisable design. The teak-and-limba piece now comes in 20-, 28- and 60-cm models.

Gubi
HK$5,100.00
The Grasshopper – or Gräshoppa – lamp for Gubi is a true classic. Swedish designer Greta Grossman created it in 1947, with a distinctive, elongated conical shade in blue-grey, black, or anthracite grey. We think it would look fab atop iDecorate's marble-and-brass side table.

Muuto
£43.33 (price subject to change)
E27 offers a twist on the industrial light bulb with colourful, rubberised sockets and suspension cords in everything from red to hemlock green or rose pink. Designed by Mattias Stahlbom, the 18W bulb looks great on its own, or paired with its fellows. Go for one, three or five bulbs if possible – odd numbers tend to work best together visually.
