Travel Tips for Skåne in South Sweden · Happy Interior Blog

A few months in the past I embarked on a great excursion to Skåne, the southern tip of Sweden, subsequent an invitation from the neighborhood tourism board Stop by Skåne. I was enthusiastic because the only factor I understood about Skåne so significantly was its biggest city: Malmö. I traveled a couple decades back to learn the metropolis and its lively style and design scene. This time my mission was identical, but broader. I was likely to take a look at Malmö, Trelleborg and Helsingborg and show up at the new style and design pageant, the Southern Sweden Design and style Days.

Tiny did I know how lovely and picturesque Skåne is. My initial times I spent in the vicinity of Trelleborg, in the southern suggestion of the region. It is there wherever you can in fact pay a visit to the southernmost place of Sweden and just take in the refreshing sea breeze and the green landscape. In fact in this season the landscape is all green and yellow with rapeseed fields all to the horizon.

What I beloved about the Trelleborg area was its close proximity to Malmö, and yet you felt like really out at the countryside – even however it was a mere 20 minutes drive by automobile from the city. I have 3 individual highlights from that location: Slättarps Gård, a farm-turned-thought store in the midst of fertile fields with a wonderful cafe the chic and new Weinbergs Resort with a good cafe and Axatorpsgården, a dreamy Mattress & Breakfast where I was staying (but I will notify you extra about this one particular is a separate blog post).

Malmö was its good self as common – this city kind of mixes Swedish and Danish vibes, but it also feels really cosmopolitan. And sunny days are the very best in city – it is as if most people is outdoors experiencing the sunshine and gentle temperatures. My mission was to go and go to this year’s Southern Sweden Style and design Times, which are scattered about the city in several places. In among I necessary to quit in one of my preferred very little dining places in town: Noir. And just after a good bite & vino, I stopped at Olsson & Gerthel, a shop packed with Scandinavian style and design that usually tends to make my coronary heart skip a defeat.

The rest of the working day I invested discovering the artistic scene and designs from southern Sweden. I beloved the vibrant and playful designs of Swedish Ninja as properly as the elegant outside home furnishings variety of Nola. Talking of outside (and indoor why not): the picket bench by designer Marc Hoogendijk would be certainly my option if I experienced house!

An additional good discovery was the work of young Swedish Artist Elsa Unnegård. She showcased a stool made of burnt wooden that appears like driftwood, but is in simple fact sculpted by her. I uncovered it very sculptural, quite artsy – nonetheless realistic, as you can actually use it as a stool. Also I cherished to see a combine of organic and natural styles, resources, hues as opposed to functional, attractive furniture that stems from what they connect with ‘technomimicry’, mimicking and looking for inspiration in technical layouts. I spotted some plant remedies as properly – of class. Skandiform showcased the Allé Corner space dividers that are essentially clever plant stands to framework areas with plant divisions.

Also for those of you contemplating of Malmö as a good journey location (and I persuade you to incorporate it your vacation bucket checklist): being in the Duxiana Resort is a perfect alternative: you are tremendous central and you will sleep like a toddler in their remarkable beds!

The last part of my Skåne trip brought me to Helsingborg, a 50 minutes travel north of Malmö. The city is vibrant and has a excellent shoreline to appreciate (windy) walks, sweet coffee locations like the Bruket Kaffebar, awesome places to eat like the Sillen & Makrillen overlooking the Öresund, as properly as a quite funky resort: the Vault Hotel!

But when in Helsingborg, I encourage you to generate out to the encompassing countryside, as the nature is wonderful and the soil in this article has a good deal of clay which resulted in one of Sweden’s oldest and most standard pottery factories: the Wallåkra Stoneware Factory. There I had the incredible option to get back to the potter’s wheel after so lots of many years and toss my personal little piece of the incredibly standard Skåne clay. I am curious to see the tiny bud vase when it’s fired and comes right here in Berlin. Near by you can also end at the ‘Tomatenshus’, a tomato escalating farm, that grows unbelievably delightful tomatoes. And sure, I received hungry there far too – so just upcoming doorways is the cafe Pass up Alice Kroog & Delikatesser and their signature dish is: tomato pie! Indeed, go for it! Oh of course!!

From Helsingborg I explained goodbye to Skåne by taking the ferry and location about to Helsingør in Denmark. But that is a different story to be explained to. For now I hope you appreciated the little tour of Skåne and its lively spots and structure scene. See you soon at the Axatorpsgården Mattress & Breakfast here on the blog site!
