Ferm Living
NOTES OF SUMMER

Ferm Living’s classic Scandinavian design traditions have a nod to retro and use of honest materials that craftsmen have used for millennia. This ensures every item they make is firmly contemporary and built to last in a space that’s warm and inviting. Interiors specialist, Orla Neligan, talks through her top five pieces from the brand.

A DANISH SPACE

Now more than ever, the desire to soften our environment and create sanctuary spaces in which to hunker down is at the top of everyone’s interior lists. Danish design brand Ferm Living has always been firmly rooted in authentic Scandinavian design that balances functionality with comfort and their Spring/Summer 2022 collection is another example of the brand’s constant exploration of the home that riffs on soft tactile furnishings, rounded shapes and a little bit of kitsch.

"Based on a passion for authentic design and with responsibility at the heart of every choice we make, we create honest products and calm environments that inspire you to balance the contrasts in life. - Ferm Living

1. CHOOSE FORM & FUNCTION

The side ash table is a perfect example of the brand’s attention to form and function without compromising on style. Crafted from FSC™-certified solid ash, the design is a carefully crafted piece of solid wood that forms a sturdy and sculptural side table with a lightweight oval top that seemingly floats atop the heavy base. The double surfaces make it a practical addition to a living room and yet makes for a subtle piece of art at the same time: as a bedside table, at the end of a sofa or in a corner of a room.

2. BE AHEAD OF THE CURVE

Curves are in. Their various scalloped organic shapes are making their way into living rooms across the world in the way of beautifully curved sofas, chairs and pouffes. The design team at Ferm Living are always ahead of the, ahem, curve when it comes to pushing design boundaries, bringing contrasts and engaging variations of classic furniture. The round, ringed pouf is a nod to retro with its faded velvet softness and shape but its off-white shade helps the piece feel distinctly modern.

3. LOUNGE LUXURIOUSLY

The perfect lounger, this Ferm Living chair harks of lazy sunny afternoons under a shady tree or a conservatory. Suitable both indoors and out, we love its versatility and its graceful ease that also combines great design with sustainability: a solid cubic frame and a replaceable textile seat made from recycled plastic. Make the chair even more lounge-worthy with a stylish addition from the brand's sophisticated range of cushions.

4. GARDEN GRACEFULLY

It may be small, and cute, but don’t be fooled: the orb watering can is deceptively large, holding up to two litres of water. Its clean, charismatic design makes it a strong sculptural piece as well as a functional object to keep those plants alive. So rather than reserve it for the depths of the garden shed, display it proudly on a shelf or paired with other accessories.

5. BEAUTIFUL BARWARE

The ripple glass series is a perfect example of the brand’s attention to form and function without compromising on style. Comprising of carafes, long glasses, drinking glasses and champagne saucers, the glassware is all mouth-blown with sharp rippled surfaces and geometric design. When you’re not sipping your favourite drink from them, they make a stylish addition to any room displayed on the Grib tray on a console or table.
