Swedish Skargaarden presents Saltholm – a new collection handcrafted and designed to blend in a any beautiful boutique hotel.
Saltholm is a barely sixteen square kilometers large and extremely sparsely populated island in the sea between Copenhagen and Malmö – the linear distance is only one mile to both Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen and the Malmö skyscraper Turning Torso. Just a few residents live here all year round under spartan conditions.
– When we designed the Saltholm collection, we wanted to highlight the contrast between being close yet far away. Close to a glass of cava and small talk on a June evening when the sun hardly sets, and at the same time far away from everyday life and its demands. However, we have to admit that we didn’t fully succeed in incorporating the spartan feel from the island. The furniture is instead generously sized and comfortable, says Jari Visuri.
The Saltholm collection includes a sofa, a lounge chair, an ottoman and a lounge table. The straight lines and timeless design make the furniture suitable for any outdoor environment. On the terrace or out in the garden. But it doesn’t look out of place in a cozy living room either. The seating pieces have an elegant, restrained shape which is balanced by the swelling, soft cushions that invite you to crawl up for a moment of relaxation.
Skargaarden’s furniture is a tribute to the Scandinavian summer and an invitation to really take advantage of this short but very beautiful time. The furniture is created to be able to cope with a stressful outdoor climate and withstand everything that nature exposes them to – even in the harshest of coastal climates. At the same time, the furniture has a Scandinavian stripped-down character that makes it elegant enough to be uncompromisingly placed in a living room. The fact that the Saltholm collection – like the majority of Skargaarden’s furniture – are made of teak is no coincidence. Teak is one of the most resilient types of wood and thanks to its elastic and strong fibers and the natural teak oil in the wood, it is very resistant to weather forces. Teak is an almost maintenance-free type of wood that acquires a beautiful silvery patina over time, but it can also be oiled to maintain the elegant reddish-brown teak tone.
