Cosy 'Fika' at Home on the New Iconic PK1 chair - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Cosy 'Fika' at Home on the New Iconic PK1 chair.
Sponsored by Carl Hansen & Søn. All words are my own and I only ever work with brands I love and think you will too. 

Things are getting cozy at home now, and with the darkness settling in, we're spending so much more time around the table enjoying fika (coffee and cake) by candlelight, playing games, helping with homework, sharing lovely dinners with friends, and just about anything else! Does this happen in your home too?

This weekend, we had the pleasure of enjoying all these moments on the newly launched Carl Hansen & Søn PK1 dining chairs. Designed in 1955 by Poul Kjærholm, one of the pioneers of Danish modernism, the PK1 was his first-ever design and reflects his functionalist approach to furniture, emphasising simplicity and lightness. Kjærholm was passionate about combining his favourite material—steel—with organic elements.

The re-launched PK1 chair beautifully combines stainless steel with natural paper cord, resulting in an elegant, lightweight form. Let’s take a closer look!


Originally made from wicker, the updated version is crafted from FSC-certified weaved paper cord, using the original weaving technique and takes a skilled craftsman 15 hours to weave! I have seen them in action in Copenhagen, and it's so impressive! I love it when craft techniques like this are kept alive. 


I am always fascinated by how furniture designed in the mid 20th century can stay so relevant - I believe it's because they were designed for both comfort and aesthetic value but they are also simple in their design which gives them a timeless appeal. 

Oh, and it's also stackable which I always think is extremely handy. 

The chair is considered an icon, so I am so happy it has been given a new lease of life this year! 

I hope you enjoyed these pictures of the new chair - and my dining area at home.

What did you think of this chair? 

You can read more information about the PK1 dining chair over at Carl Hansen & Søn. 

I have featured lots of beautiful items from Carl Hansen & Søn in the past including the cute new wishbone chair children's version in my cabin, the fabulous CH07 Shell Chair in my sitting room, and my all time favourite possession - the FK10 Plico Chair by the fire in our little cabin. 

Thank you for stopping by today. I'll be back again tomorrow with a beautiful home tour which I think you will feel very inspired by. See you then!

A Cosy Swedish Home Which Maximises Space and Light - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about A Cosy Swedish Home Which Maximises Space and Light. When you think of Scandi homes, you usually imagine large spacious open-plan living spaces. This is often true. Drawing natural light into the darkest corner of your home is an essential Scandinavian winter survival factor  - and walls block the light. However, when you live in a small space, this is not always possible - especially if you need to carve out many different living zones such as a home office, sitting room, bedroom etc.  This lovely Swedish apartment is a fine example of how small rooms can still be filled with light with some clever interior tricks. Think glass internal walls and clever mirror placements for a cosy, light-filled home with everything you need.  Mysigt (cosy!) - and such clever use of space, don't you think?  I've got lots of exciting posts planned here on the blog this week including before and after ...

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about A Calm Swedish Home in the Heart of the City. Hej there! I hope you had a fantastic weekend! I'm at Bodø airport in North Norway waiting for my flight back to Malmö. I've had such an amazing time in the Arctic circle and can't wait to share more with you once I've had a chance to process my billion pictures! It is a truly awe-inspiring part of the world.  Today, I'd like to shift our gaze to Sweden, and a beautiful, serene apartment nestled away in a quiet courtyard in Gothenburg.  It's a living space where sculpted shapes, plants and texture punctuate a milky background to create living space that's calm and cosy. Keep a special look out for the wall art and interesting lighting fixtures, and also the small bedrooms - which are small, but thanks to a clever design by no means feel pokey.  Välkommen in!  This window seat has everything you might need for a quiet moment - ...

Quirky Touches in a 19th Century Brick House in South Sweden - Home Design Ideas

Welcome to Home Design Ideas . Today we will share for you about Quirky Touches in a 19th Century Brick House in South Sweden . The other day, someone asked me "I am moving to Sweden and looking for somewhere in the South, with beautiful countryside, beaches and lots of culture, but also that's not far from a village or town." Luckily two different areas popped up in my head - one was Kullaberg - where my parents-in-law live, and a place I covered extensively in this travel guide . And the other was Österlen.  Famous for its light, Österlen has been a popular destination for artist for hundreds of years and the countryside is absolutely beautiful. This pretty cottage, in Löderup is fairly near Sandhammaren beach, known for it's incredible white sands and clear waters. The quirky interior is testimony to the creative scene you so often find in the area, and yet it also has a serene feel to it thanks to the soft shades not dissimilar from the tones seen in the sand,...
