Ferm Living may not be a household name in the UK just yet, but this 21-year-old Danish brand is design catnip for the editors at House Beautiful.
Many of Ferm Living's pieces take familiar furniture and homeware and give them an unexpected twist, whether that's an offbeat detail, an intriguing material or an unusual colour combination – the sort of nonchalant cool that looks effortless but absolutely isn’t.
‘We offer a design universe that feels both aspirational and liveable,’ said Philipp Materna, head of brand & design. ‘Our products layer effortlessly into a wide range of interiors, and reflect ongoing conversations around materiality, craftsmanship, and contemporary living.’
What piece would Miranda Priestly (or another fictional editor) nab for their corner office?
‘For anyone who loves books and magazines, I would recommend our beautiful Tvara Book Stand. Crafted from solid stone, it is both a sculptural object and a functional bookholder.’
Philipp's secrets behind Danish style
1) Find warmth in materials, not just colour
Timber, stone, textiles and natural patinas create comfort that goes beyond decoration.
2) Reinvent the familiar
Take everyday objects and rethink them through contemporary form, function, and craftsmanship.
3) Never forget to light a candle
Good atmosphere is as important as good furniture. Creating mood is part of creating a home.
