Scandi tip #3: Skandium

Published on by Hanna2 Comments

When I need my Scandinavian design fix, I always go to Skandium. You can find this wonderful shop in three different locations around London; Brompton Road, in Selfridges and in Marylebone.

They have everything from furniture classics like Arne Jacobsen to Marimekko prints and all the lovely glassware from Iittala.

I go here to buy presents sometimes, or to buy something nice for myself. I prefer the Marylebone shop because of its lovely surroundings. Close by you find the Conran shop, several nice clothes shops and nice restaurants. I love the whole feel on Marylebone high street so do venture here if you haven’t already.

Scandi tip #2: Robert Wells

Ok, the name Robert Wells might not sound very Scandinavian, but this guy is one of the biggest stars in Sweden. He is an extraordinary talented pianist and started off playing mainly classical music, but with his love for rock music, he started touring with a few other singers/muscians and calls the shows Rhadsody in rock. I went to one of these performances once with my parents aaages ago, and although most people were middle aged and I was 19-20 at the time I really enjoyed it.

In exactly one month’s time; on the 28th November, Robert Wells is coming to London to perform at the Royal Albert Hall, with his Rhapsody in Rock – China Edition tour, combining his trademark sound with Chinese music.

I of course took the opportunity to book tickets. From only £25, how can you not…?
