Scandinavia, the land of Vikings and fjords, boasts a design aesthetic as captivating as the Northern Lights. Scandinavian architecture and design are often replicated around the world for the warmth they exude. Imagine a harmonious blend of light, comfort, and nature, all woven together with a focus on clean lines and spaciousness. All of this while using state-of-the-art technology too.

One hallmark of Scandi design is the ubiquitous presence of wood—its rich tones gracing furniture, floors, and even toys. If that’s a characteristic you’d like to infuse into your design theme, dive into this handpicked collection of products brought to you by the experts at Love That Design.

It deserves and gives all the attention.

Embodying the essence of Scandinavian minimalism, this exquisite twin luminaire is perfect for creating dynamic and spot lighting indoors.

Crafted from robust yet elegant aluminium, the frame is available in a timeless palette of black or white.

Lead with LED.

Scandinavian design prioritises balanced light. These innovative LED strips, with high-quality Epistar chips, deliver a homogenous, diffused glow. Encased in flexible PVC or self-cleaning silicone, they boast superior durability. The silicone option offers unmatched environmental protection and self-cleaning properties, while a range of dimensions, colour temperatures, and mounting options empower you to tailor your lighting and achieve true Scandinavian design.

Hygge, here.

The Danish concept of Hygge, which often finds itself in the centre of Scandinavian design, emphasises the use of warm light from candles or other luminaires to bring comfort and contentment. This archetypal table lamp shade embodies that philosophy. It radiates a warm and diffused light that washes over the space. This unique design masterfully blends geometric shapes – a cone, a sphere, and a cylinder – crafted from delicate glass.  This delicate, award-winning lamp bridges the past and the present, inviting you to create a haven of warmth and tranquillity.
